If the Cadillac ATS can’t be called ATS what would you name her?

Cadillac has consistently said that the upcoming smaller-than-a-CTS 3-series competitor may not be named ATS.  Everyone has been referring to it as the code-name ATS, which has been working, but it turns out that the name ATS may not be available.  So what should Cadillac name the new model?

ATS didn’t make perfect sense anyway, since the new car will not really be an “A” size micro sub-compact, but rather an economy size touring model.

Among Cadillac names, Lasalle was the ‘smaller’ Cadillac.  Lasalle actually was a companion marque, as opposed to a model.  Earlier, Cadillac almost used Lasalle as the name for the Seville when it came as a separate model, but settled on Seville as more fitting.  With 3-letter nomenclature that would make the nee-ATS an LTS (Lasalle Touring Sedan)?  I’m not a fan of the 3-letter names anyway.

My favorite name to bring back for the Cadillac ATS would be the “60 Special”.  I find that name very evocative and intriguing.    The car badges could just show “60S”.  I like the look of the “Sixty” script too though.

What do you think?  If the new Cadillac ATS can’t be called ATS what would you call her?

I have been on a music writing rodeo lately, so I figure I’ll slide in some Cadillac related songs.  Now of course I am not a professional song writer, or musician, or singer, so there are hurdles.  I like to think of it as having plenty of runway.

Cadillac has been a great meme for a lot of tunes already of course.  But since I am fascinated with  song writing, and I have an interest in all things Cadillac, it seems natural to mix the two.

Upbeat Blues numbers with a bit of swing appeal to me as tying to Cadillac’s roots and history while staying forward-looking.    I think my song Cadillac – Baby We Got a Problem manages that.  There is a lot of ground to explore; anything that helps get Cadillac further into the public eye and consideration seems additive for Cadillac and our community here at CaddyInfo.

Cool air and fun Cadillac songs: Cadillac Grandma @phoebeblume

Temperatures in Texas dropped into the sixties in the mornings. Actually getting some open sunroof time and great driving weather for making hp.

Here’s a song by Phoebe Blume called Cadillac Grandma that celebrates a 500 cubic inch Cadillac and her Owner.

I won’t try to categorize the genre for this piece, but stay with it until it gets rolling…

Here’s a subset of the lyrics:

She knows she’s had her fun and her youth has passed
But she can almost re-live it when she punches the gas
Her heart speeds up when she punches the gas
Her heart starts racing when she punches the gas
Punch it, Grandma, FAST!
