Nope, don't think so. VW, unlike GM, has had the ability to decently manage a bunch of very different brands by not building carbon coies of each other wearing different badges. How well are Skoda and SEAT doing these days really? I believe Skoda does well; SEAT not really that well... SEAT's the only brand in their portfolio they couldn't carve a space for so far.

I agree that CTS needs a coupe and in some ways a radical one. In the luxury market the smaller segment is the most conservative, so GM has made a good bet in not releasing the ATS coupe with a radical design. I agree that there should be a CTS coupe (and wagon as well IMHO, along with the ATS coupe and an ATS wagon; I'd even throw in convertible versions of both the ATS and CTS coupes). Problem is that GM hasn't given Cadillac the budget to develop various versions at the same time that the sedans are being developed, it's been a wait-and-see-and-wait-and-see-again approach that really hasn't helped Cadillac. GM needs to really take the plunge with Cadillac and bet strongly both on the brand's product and the image/intanglible attributes that should make up a luxury brand.

To me it looks like a raised and giant A3 5-door......

The CTS isn't the issue. No CTS coupe means less total sales (the CTS coupe was an instant hit as shoppers in that segment like their cars to be a little bolder unlike ATS segment shoppers who tend to prefer more conservative coupes), and to boot we have higher transaction prices for the new CTS vs. the old one. It's the ATS that isn't doing so well, and then, of course, with only SRX and Escalade, cadillac is missing on the booming CUV segment.

Paceman and the new 5 door shouldn't be there in their current form. Period. The Roadster is something I like, and really doesn't take away frm tyhe MINI brand IMHO... Coupe is butt ugly. I think instead of the 5-door they should have planned for Clubman (similar to current model) and Clubman L (5-door as poer the concept) versions of the estate. And they should have brought back a MINI Moke but based on the Clubman 4x4 instead of spending money on the Paceman development.

Exactly. The ATS is really hurting...

Great! Too bad GM is killing its AUS RWD cars...He's just saying the current Opel diesels don't cut it when it comes to a luxury brand. No surprise there, really, but still better to offer them right away or to outsource someone's diesel than be left to rot in Europe again.Most likely. But this does point to the issue of where emissions originate from - a tail pipe or a powerplant chimney - and if the overall effect in the environment is greater, equal or smaller from the spread of EVs. It's an interesting debate...Not a big fan of the rear spoiler there... Is that part of the track package? Also, and oddly, I like the sedan better. I don't know it it's the colour but for once I prefer the sedan to the coupe...

Looks like something similar to the ZR2.I have rented one in Sweden during my Jan 2014 visit and the Auris is not bad for what it is, it's just weird...No doubt an excellent car, but something leaves me cold when I look at the ATS-V...- 34 replies
