Hybrid Bugattis and quicker Caddy’s – here’s what you missed.
- The Cadillac ATS gets a slightly new look for 2015, as well as more power. The 2.0T engine gets a bump to 295 lb-ft of torque.
- Bugatti’s next supercar might be a hybrid. The Veyron’s successor could follow the lead of the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 and gain a hybrid system alongside its monster gasoline engine – and monster price tag.
- Europe isn’t out of the wood’s yet. Ford of Europe’s head honcho said that many of the problems in Europe still remain, with Stephen Odell telling AN ““we still have a market with 20 million units of capacity and about 14 million sales.”
- The mid-size car market is tanking in Europe, as crossovers and small premium cars eat into sales. Honda will drop the Accord entirely from Europe.
- The Audi A3 is giving the Mercedes-Benz CLA a good challenge in the small compact car sales race. CLA sales have been falling in recent months, as the newest, shiniest object from Audi is performing quite strongly.

Put that 2.0T in the Cruze and Spark, put the 5.3 in the ATS. Where do I pick up my medal?
Caddys and woods. These words are not used as possessives and do NOT need apostrophes.
Wow Honda won't sell the Accord in Europe? The nameplate has been sold in almost every market Honda does business in since the 70s.
Glad the A3 is gonna kick CLA butt. The latter is pure garbage.
