Long time no see! The ATS is a fine machine, there's a white ATS-V around here that is always a treat to see. -
Apparently it talks now.

The agreement was probably quickly reached after they realized, "oh crap, GM is serious and has other options if we keep being entitled little shits". I could definitely see GM winding the plant down after this mess though, and the union has itself to blame. Biting the hand that feeds you.

I don't like how Audi's grills continue to mount takeover of teh entire front end with each restyle. If that grill were split in half it'd be about perfect. Rest of the car looks, well like an A7, which is good.

Gonna need this to go with your recall now.
Hatchbacks are their own body style classification while CUV's were jacked up hatchbacks that want to look like they can maybe but not really go offroad. For example: Subaru Impreza is a hatchback Subaru UX Crosstrek is a CUV Hence why if you look up Chevy Bolt you get this:
Didn't you hear? GM just released it never. But hey, it sells as many units as the entire Pontiac division does.
Ah, well that whole tweener thing worked so well the first time around. It'll run into the same problems the first two generations of CTS did: too big to be compared favorably to the 3 Series/A4/C-Class, too small to go against the 5 Series/A6/E-Class/.
So basically they are just killing the XTS, which we knew was happening, and when the ATS and CTS are up for redesigns they'll get renamed, which we also knew was happening. So literally nothing we didn't already know.
It does look rather thick in the middle, and the wheel arches are definitely smaller. The upper character line on the prototype seems to be above the wheel arch up front, while on the concept its below the top of the arch. I'll reserve final judgement until the camouflage is off though. The concept is quite a looker.
EXTENDED DIRECTOR'S CUT OF THE TRUNK UP THAT ELEPHANT'S BUTT NEVER FORGET (because that elephant surely didn't).
