The new Cadillac ATS is not winning comparison tests for acceleration.\u00a0 The 3.6L V6 with 321 hp will get the ATS from 0-60 in around 5.4 seconds, which is pretty quick.\u00a0 But some competitors can do better.\u00a0 The 2L Turbo, 272 hp\u00a0 ATS does 0-60 in under 6 seconds — Cadillac says 5.7 seconds.\u00a0 Again, competitors for the 2L are quicker.<\/p>\n
