In addition to the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe that you already saw, Cadillac is launching a sedan version of the ATS-V.

The 3.6L twin-turbo V6 will make 455 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, backed by either a Tremec 6060 6-speed manual or GM’s new 8-speed automatic. Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, magnetic shock absorbers and a limited slip differential are all standard, as well as Recaro seats. A carbon fiber hood is optional.

    As the owner of a '00 Bonneville SSEi, the hell with you all.

      I wonder if I could swap that SSEi motor into my '03 LeSabre and make it the Buick from Hell.

    1. How fast will it go around the Nürburg-Ring? 2. How long can it do powerslides? My two questions.

      1. Quicker than the old V most likely 2. Until you lift or blow the rear tires

  • Brandon I would vote for my 23 Escape ST-Line with the 2.0L turbo and a normal 8 speed transmission instead of CVT. 250 HP, I average 28 MPG and get much higher on trips and get a nice 13" sync4 touchscreen. It leaves these 2 in my dust literally
  • JLGOLDEN When this and Hornet were revealed, I expected BOTH to quickly become best-sellers for their brands. They look great, and seem like interesting and fun alternatives in a crowded market. Alas, ambitious pricing is a bridge too far...
  • Zerofoo Modifications are funny things. I like the smoked side marker look - however having seen too many cars with butchered wire harnesses, I don't buy cars with ANY modifications. Pro-tip - put the car back to stock before you try and sell it.
  • JLGOLDEN I disagree with the author's comment on the current Murano's "annoying CVT". Murano's CVT does not fake shifts like some CVTs attempt, therefore does not cause shift shock or driveline harshness while fumbling between set ratios. Murano's CVT feels genuinely smooth and lets the (great-sounding V6) engine sing and zing along pleasantly.
  • JLGOLDEN Our family bought a 2012 Murano AWD new, and enjoyed it for 280K before we sold it last month. CVT began slipping at 230K but it was worth fixing a clean, well-cared for car. As soon as we sold the 2012, I grabbed a new 2024 Murano before the body style and powertrain changes for 2025, and (as rumored) goes to 4-cyl turbo. Sure, the current Murano feels old-school, with interior switchgear and finishes akin to a 2010 Infiniti. That's not a bad thing! Feels solid, V6 sounds awesome, and the whole platform has been around long enough that future parts & service wont be an issue.
