Will the ATS sell well? IDK. The BMW 3-series doesn't sell well because it's the driving pinnacle - it sells well because of cheap lease deals and the desire to obtain the image associated with a BMW 3-series. Caddy has to steal into that segment, as Infiniti's G-series has accomplished well.

I don't think Caddy cares who they steal from (Infiniti, Lexus, Audi etc).
I like the overall shape of the ATS (which is basically identical to a 3 series), but don't like the details, like the chrome.
For this reason I think the ATS-V might be a looker. It's gotta have a V8 though, a turbo V6 is just meh.
