The ATS-V+ rumored by Motor Trend is definitely not happening according to Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell. The proposed new model would encroach too much into CTS-V territory for comfort.
Here’s what happened overnight.

Yeah kill the ATS-V no one asked for and just have a normal V8 option. Like a 5.3, normal output that doesn't exactly set the Nurburgerkingring on fire. Maybe a manual trans is asking too much, but why not? Why try to be BMW? That'll never happen. Instead give Germany car fan boys a better option.
I'm not all that broken up by the lack of a V8 ATS-V. Then again, I'm sort of weird in that I prefer a turbo-6 to a V8.
