I always saw these Ats-V's as the true spritual successor to the Grand National. Sure it wasnt beating everything in a 1/4 mile, but the basic recipe of the car is there.
It's interesting how people are showing this car so much love, because when it was new, everyone slammed the interior and wanted the 6.2 liter v8 from the Camaro in it at the time. Just proves that us car enthusiasts only love cars when it's used.
These were actually quite similar to the Camaro. They were built on the same GM Alpha platform. The Camaro was a little lower and wider, but their dimensions were fairly similar. This also had a different engine, of course. So you could think of it as a luxury Camaro with a turbo V6 instead of a V8.
After researching Zack, this turbo 3.6 in this ATS-V is actually the same as the N/A in the Traverse/Acadia etc. But some minor changes done to it and the turbos added. This is the LF4 version of the 3.6 and the Traverse/Acadia have the LLT. The 2nd gen Equinox, the LFX version. All of them the same family and block.
I love personal coupes. I've owned 4 or 5. Most of them were manual. I now have an suv for more practicality & cargo. But I wouldn't mind a coupe for a 2nd car again.
A great looking car Zack. In New South Wales Australia, the highway patrol cops drove Cadillac CTS 300 sedans after General Motors Holden stopped local production of the Holden Commodore V8, and Ford ceased production of the Falcon V8 as well in 2017. I've spent most of the last seven years in Mindanao Philippines, as I live with my Filipina wife in Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao. Spending a few months in Australia in my hometown in New South Wales in 2019, and nine months in 2023, I was surprised to see the highway patrol cops driving the sedan version of these. Obviously, they were good for chasing down offenders. So good looking too.
Thinking about buying one how’s the back seat? I’m about 70inchs tall and my wife about 64 ( 5’10 and roughly 5’6) need a decent enough back seat to pass her inspection 😅
When GM wants to build a good car, they can build one. It's a shame they so rarely turn their engineers loose. Cadillac could be the Standard of the World again if only GM would stop being so cheap and boring. That's not a tank, it's an M113 armored personnel carrier.
Let me show you my 1973 Coupe DeVille, and I’ll show you a REAL Cadillac! Cadillac has never been about performance, nor should it ever have been. It is about style & luxury. And bigger is better.
GM has stopped making coupes & sedans. They killed all their car brands after their 2009 bankruptcy. Many other manufactures have also stopped making coupes including Honda as they have becoming less popular then sedans

I know a guy that put the ats v in a grand national, his original motor blow up btw
Huge ATS fan. It wore the design language extremely well.
Right?? Is the ATS-V here a pillar=less Coupe?

This is the one. ATS. The V. Coupe. Manual. Black. Gangster.
These cars are timeless. Still beautiful today.
v series cadillacs are some of my favourite american cars

Camaro was built after the ats so the Camaro is similar to the ats. Ats was the original alpha.
@@chriscab8333 Maybe so, But the Camaro’s more well known - and sold a lot better.
I love design language of this gen ATS as well as the CTS
We used to be a proper country

A spitting image of the cts v3. I'll keep my v2 coupe for now
I've loved these for the longest time
It’s crazy you posted this video when im literally researching buying one right now
Same but the rear leg room is throwing me for a loop at the moment
@ yes I purchased a black coupe fully loaded 2016 with 29,000 miles. Love it. I had to drive from Georgia to Michigan to pick it up

I own a ATSV sedan 2016. Has all the packages (HUD, track package, carbon package, etc) Great cars. Mines a manual and has 140k miles lol

dang if i knew this video was being filmed like 5 mins away from my house i would’ve came and said hi! 😂
I got a 2018 coupe manual. I love it.
Sweet!
I think Cadillac still makes really nice cars!
I’ve got a 16 coupe auto with a tune. She’s a ripper.
You don't need a luxury car before 2018 to get a back up camera as many manufactures had already started offering them

Would recommend this as a first time manual car??
When it comes to the back seat part of the review, how tall are you?
5’11
Long live the Aztek

Imagine if instead of Cadillac, Buick sold this car as a Regal...
And instead of the V-series it was sold as the Grand National/GNX 🤔

I love the looks of these cars. When I sat in one at a car show, the rear visibility (especially the blind spots) was terrible.
What car has passed the big frekin bottle test?
About 20% of cars do. Mostly trucks and vans but the new Kia k4 compact does too
That manual gearbox is from Getrag, isn't it? Nice car overall, but I wish they had convertible option.
He said that the gearbox was from Tremec
Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual.
Nice lol. But you seriously need to review a CT4-V and CT5-V blackwing in manual

You can still buy Cadillac sedans.
Not true and Honda is bringing back the Prelude.
