Cadillac August Sales Summary
The Cadillac ATS is expected to arrive in showrooms this month. Cadillac is targeting 5K units a month from ATS, although to reach 3 series success will take 9K units per month, so we’ll see.
Bruce. Somewhat off topic, but I’m trying to find out the makeup of the chassis design team for the Sigma chassis. Makeup as in nationality, leadership, etc. Nothing extensive and I’m not interested in names particularly although that would be a nice tribute.
I’m on my second CTS, the first a 2008 and now a 2011. Thanks.
Here some pointers: Jack Horvath, chief engineer on the GM Sigma platform; Jeff Bell, Manufacturing Chief Engineer – Sigma Platform; Ken Morris was CTS vehicle performance manager
Thanks!
