The Cadillac ATS sedan seems to be a mixture of the of the CTS Coupe, CTS sedan with hints of the Converj concept. The back of the ATS features thick C-pillars with tail-lights similar to the ones found on the Converj concept car. GM said that new model will get “high-tech engines, rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive.”

Key competitor for the ATS sedan will be the BMW 3-Series, Infiniti G37, Audi A4 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

As for the XTS, the model will replace DTS and STS sedan. Design seems to be a mixture of the Cadillac Converj concept and the Sixteen concept seen in 2003.

GM said that it is holding back pictures and official details for now until both cars are further along the development process. We’ll bring you more details as soon as we get them.

Note: Cadillac is going to introduce 5 new models through 2011.

    Im thinking 4-cylinder turbocharged… although i doubt it since the competitors don't offer 4-cylinders

  • GMfan87

    nah i'm thinking engines like the camaro and cts's v6 and if any 4 cylinders the ecotech…then theres the LS engines for the real cars (probably not the buick line though, although a new GNX would be cool).
