The Top 10 Cars from the 2012 Detroit Auto Show
Cadillac ATS
Even luxury brands need their own small car this year; the Cadillac ATS represents a GM effort to deliver the most luxury possible in a compact and maneuverable sporty sedan. With a rear-wheel-drive package to challenge imports in an expanding market segment, GM plans to offer consumers a choice of three different engines, including two four cylinder options and a V-6, that capitalizes on the cars lightweight structure to provide both performance and efficiency. Bold vertical lighting elements as well as illuminating door handles and active grille, which closes at certain speeds, lend the car a technologically advanced style as well as a functional way to enhance the ATS' fuel economy.
