cadillac ats v coupe spotted at the ring

AutoGuide.com has spied the all-new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe running the Nurburgring – and sporting a Michigan manufacturer tag.

Also spotted was a prototype CTS-V, which should indicate that Cadillac has not yet given up on the idea of beating the Germans on their own turf. As long as they can avoid a confusing re-brand at the hands of their new boss, they might have a fighting chance.

Hmm,Some guy, not sure where you get your info. re.the BMW V8 being unreliable but it seems like you've been told a load of bollocks . Both My E39 and E60 have the V8, they both run as smooth as silk with NO reliability issues.

  Enjoy it while you can: http://www.540i6.com/probsfixes.html - E39 Perhaps the E60 fixed all of those issues. I know, I know "preventative maintenance" right? I used to drink that kool-aid too, then I got a reliable car.

  The 4.4 in your e39 is a wonderful engine with the potential for catastrophic failure lurking in almost every subsystem. The engine series as a whole suffers in perception of early maintenance issues related to the Alusil, and the VANOS issues on the later versions lead to both clatter and smoke. Also, occasionally the chain guides just disintegrate. It certainly requires far more attention to maintenance than many other V8's. The one in your E60 is fine, as long as your car is '05 or newer (if not a little gutless for the specs.) The earlier ones had terrible reputations electronically, and the plastic around the engine was absolute shite for the first 2-3 years. And I don't care which one you're driving, any BMW V8 made after 97 has way too much shake and stutter at idle, at altitude. Smooth as silk my ass... :p But as for SomeGuy's comment, it doesn't matter if you could weld the hood shut on your Accord, or if you have to adjust the points every time you start your vintage British roadster - Preventative maintenance will make your ownership experience better (if not necessarily cheaper.)

Oh goodie, another sub model we'll pretend is a standalone model and price at $90K. Can't wait to see that depreciation curve.

Redapple2 The VW saga is well remembered. Ug. RE your Lexus, with such a long refuel interval I d burn only E 0. Some of your E 10 in the tank may be from 6 mo ago.
28-Cars-Later The CD player is glorious. Edit: Also really nice job on the initial shot. I'm not sure if you had any training in photography but it looks professional.
Carson D I was thinking that this is such a nice car, and it is a bit of a shame that you use it so little. Then I remembered that I still have a car that I purchased new in 2007 which now has 78,000 miles and is sitting in a parking space I moved it to so my parents could park in its space when they visited about a month ago. That your 2019 Golf Sportwagen had headliner and water intrusion issues is a stark reminder that people who still buy VWs are like those people who still vote for bail reform politicians after they've been assaulted by someone who'd already been arrested for violent acts half a dozen times in two months. I knew two people who bought new Jetta Sportwagens who suffered spooling mesh headliners that became jammed, unfurled and frayed combined with leaking two-plane sunroofs...in 2009! They were also involved in a class action lawsuit about 'mandatory optional' equipment that they paid for that the cars weren't actually equipped with. I think it was Bluetooth links.
Bd2 Engine problems have been fully remedied, please have no further concerns. All customers are satisfied, check Google and Reddit for further information. Salutations and please have a nice day.
Wjtinfwb Keep it. A good car you're not tired of is like a great dog. Irreplaceable. After 45 years of car ownership, there's just a few I wish I never sold and realized my total proceeds from selling those few cars was less than 75k dollars. Not a lot of Lexus that you'd say are irreplaceable, but a solid GS is one of them.
