The new Cadillacs- Hit or Miss?

I have always loved all things Caddy and a friend bought a brand new ATS Turbo. I liked all of the new offerings but had to really look at this "little" Cadillac. I will admit it was quick, had a wonderful interior and instrumentation but could not quite wrap my head around this little bit. Any one have any thoughts on any of the new one?

 

well it still have a far way to go , but I would call it a hit .

 

I seen a commerical for one of the new turbos on television earlier this week. Not too shabby. I wouldn't mind taking one for a beat run and seeing what it can do.

 

The ATS turbo I drove was very quick...yes, a far cry from the land yachts. I can't keep all the abbreviations straight...kind of miss the old days of Eldoradon, Deville, etc. This ABCs of caddys and alot of other cars is making me a bit woozy. The new Lincolns are really kind of slick too, but they have the ABC-XYZ disease too.

OOOps, Eldorado...see just thinking all those letters made my fingers misfire.

 

I really like em, every time I see a a CTS-V coupe the more I want to drive one. Those cars are so slick, kudos to Cadillac for some great designs.

 

Glad to see the Cadillacs are reaching a broader audience. I really want to see the American cars succeed and yes they have come out with some pretty neat designs. I now see all types of drivers, not just the straw hats with the turn signal perenially on.

 

I remember the days when people like that would be the only ones driving Caddys, I'm glad those days are long gone. I'm surprised that they could make even wagons look cool.

 

Cadillac is doing something (energy drinks, meditation, or something stronger)...the new commecial with the "blowing the doors off" the competition made me laugh. We always used that phrase in Detroit...but Cadillac? Woweee....the soundtrack with the "Who's a freak" is quite a departure from the Cadillac image I knew growing up. Must be working...I dont know if they are STILL in to Caddy's, I think they are targeting a younger demographic or us older folks who still think we are COOL!

 

I regularly see the ATS being driven by younger guys who would normally be in a 3-Series or Acura TSX. I think Cadillac is doing well with this demographic... or at least better than they were.

I just took the CTS V-Sport around the Monticello Racetrack last week. Cadillac has been improving for years, but I think this is the car that says "Cadillac is Back, Germany beware". http://www.cheersandgears.com/_/reviews/quick-drive/quick-drive-2014-cadillac-cts-v-sport-r1801
