The third-generation CTS sedan is based on the high-performing rear-drive architecture of the award-winning ATS sport sedan, moving Cadillac into the prestigious class of midsize luxury sedans. It will be the segment’s lightest car, enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class. A range of power-dense powertrains underpin its performance, including the all-new Cadillac Twin-Turbo engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.

It will be interesting as newly re-designed 2014 CTS reach showrooms.  Although it has terrific looks and dynamite power plants, it is also moving up market.

Cadillac July 2013 Sales up 16.7%, Car sales up 34%

Cadillac July 2013 sales were up 16% on the strength of flat SRX sales with support from a strong ATS and XTS bullpen relieving CTS sales.

XTS actually edged out ATS sales, which is not where ATS sales need to be in the lineup.  Cadillac still needs to find the path to double or triple ATS sales.

Cadillac June 2013 Sales Up 14.9%

The ATS is now the best selling Cadillac sedan, and the SRX continues to lead crossover/truck sales.  Overall Cadillac sales were up for the month versus last year, but not dramatically enough to declare it a great month — total sales were up less than ATS sales for example.  CTS sales continue to hover awaiting new model in the Fall.  XTS sales have effectively replaced DTS sales.
