The ATS is doing big things. If and when the coupe & ATS-V comes out? It's going to be rough time for the competition. The camaro being built on the alpha platform has me thinking the next gen camaro will reinvigorate chevy to new heights.

An updated 3.7 to me is not a terrible idea. I just feel that if that's the route we take? We should be putting most of our R&D in a 400lb weight reduction and fine tuning the 3.7 to be even more aggressive than it already is.

I've been progressively impressed w/ each American car company as their quality and creativity has gotten better and better. It takes Balls to challenge the Germans in the segments that they pretty m,uch own.

Unfortunately I'm not in the financial position to buy a ~$40k car, but I would like to choose American: The Cadillac ATS 2.0T w/ manual tranny

I've heard the manual is somewhat of a 'dog', but I'm sure the combo of manual w/ turbo-4 would be So Fun 55

An ATS 2.0 is about $40,000. But maybe year end they might throw a $5,000 incentive or something? Maybe? American car companies have stepped up. Chevy ford and the Chrysler Trio as well.
My favorite american car progressions have been.
Cadillac ATS
Jeep Grand cherokee
Chevy Corvette
Chevy Camaro
Chrysler 300
Ford Focus ST
Chevy Sonic

I think the above line-up has shown serious progression and philosophy changes in the American market.
