The 2013 Cadillac ATS delivers a driving experience that advances the brand's performance legacy with a balance of racetrack-honed control and uncompromising refinement. From the very outset of development, engineers focused on making the Cadillac ATS one of the lightest cars in the compact luxury segment. Its curb weight of less than 3,400 pounds (1,542 kg) is a key contributor to a world-class driving experience and helps make the new sport sedan more efficient.
All-New 2013 Chevrolet Spark - In/Out/Driving Details [HD]
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark mini car is a sporty four-passenger, five-door hatch. It is designed to excite first-time buyers and city dwellers with its bold styling and colors, affordability, the safety of 10 standard air bags, fuel efficiency and maneuverability.
Spark also is the only car in its segment to provide a seven-inch color touch screen radio capable of displaying smartphone-based music, videos, photos and contacts for hands-free calling. Later, an app for full-function GPS navigation will be available.
2012 BMW M5 - F10 - Beauty and Driving [HD]
The new M5 uses the S63 biturbo 4.4 Litre V8 with twin scroll turbocharging technology that is found in the BMW X5 M and X6 M, and the version in the M5 is expected to have an output of 560 hp. turbocharging the M5 has not gone unnoticed, with long time fans of the M series being disappointed that BMW seems to be moving away from traditionally high displacement naturally aspirated high-revving engines. Increasingly stringent international CO2 emissions and fuel consumption regulations are cited as the cause of death of the outgoing model's V10 engine, and the F10 M5 will cut CO2 emissions by 25%. The other advantage of turbocharging is that it generates considerably more low-end torque.
While the X5 M and X6 M currently have a 6-speed automatic transmission with Steptronic transmission, a dual clutch transmission will be used on the F10 M5, dropping the Getrag SMG III single-clutch 7-speed semi-automatic transmission used in the previous E60 M5. A manual gearbox option has been confirmed for the US market only.

The Elan features a 4.0 litre V6 pressure charged engine capable of delivering up to 450 PS and taking into consideration its relative light weight of 1,295kg, the Elan's performance edges on supercar.
From a styling perspective, the Elan is built like an athlete with a muscular physique and perfect poise. It's a thoroughbred, rigid with tension, ambitious and addictive, nothing but best in class will suffice for this car.
It's not enough to simply provide performance and exceptional looks, innovation is also integral to the Elan's appeal. In keeping with the rest of the new Lotus range, the Elan features optional hybrid technology with KERS.
All-New 2013 Dodge Dart - In/Out Design [HD]
The Dart is based on a version of the Fiat Compact platform, like the Alfa Romeo Giulietta but enlarged 1.5 in (38 mm) in width and with a 3.7 in (94 mm) longer wheelbase that is now called the Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) platform. Development took about 18 months to design the Dart on the platform of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta adapted to U.S. requirements.

Autobytel spent an afternoon with Cadillac Lead Designer Christine Park who is responsible for the brilliant interior design featured on the XTS. The 2013 Cadillac XTS is an all new full size luxury sedan from the American luxury brand. The XTS is poised to wear the crown as the most technologically sophisticated vehicle in the Cadillac stable.

The new Cadillac XTS will be replacing the outdated STS and DTS full-size sedans.
The 2013 Cadillac XTS is positioned one level about the current CTS in terms of size and price. The XTS is built upon the General Motors Epsilon II platform. The driver compartment has a sleek elongated look that not only looks great but allows for a large amount of interior space. The overall shape of the XTS is crisp and tailored and the character lines down the sides look stunning. Up front there is a bold chrome grille that screams Cadillac as it grabs your attention. The wheels are 19-inch chrome pieces with 20-inch wheels offered on the Platinum Edition.
The 2013 Cadillac XTS will come in 3 different trim levels: Luxury, Premium, and Platinum. The interior of the XST is not only spacious as previously mentioned but down right beautiful. Cadillac customers demand a very high level of luxury and quality and the XTS continues that tradition. The XTS will be the first vehicle equipped with the revolutionary CUE infotainment center. See more info on the CUE below. The XTS features leather trim and wood accents everywhere. The Head-Up Display features color readouts. The music chores are carried out by a top of the line Bose Studio surround sound system. Besides the vast amount of luxury features and options, the XTS is packed with the latest safety technology.

2013 Cadillac ATS Exterior Walkaround with Global Product Manager Ken Kornas: Part 1
http://www.autobytel.com/cadillac/ats/2013/ Autobytel was recently invited to try out the all new 2013 Cadillac ATS where we had the opportunity to speak with Ken Kornas, the 2013 Cadillac ATS Global Product Manager, at the all new Atlanta Motorsports Park for a thorough walkaround highlighting this luxury car's best features. The ATS is the latest entry into the luxury sedan market by Cadillac. This vehicle really starts a renaissance of new automobiles products that will be offered from Cadillac over the next few years.
What you notice first about the 2013 Cadillac ATS styling is the vertical headlights, the shape and forms that are the evolution of Cadillac's art and science design theme. The crisp lines, proportions, and overall size of the ATS give it a distinct look compared to the other cars in the Cadillac stable. The ATS offers a number of features on the exterior that are striking and very noticeable. Up front the Cadillac distinctive grille is bold yet elegant. The vertical design headlamps now wrap to the top of the fender.
The 2013 Cadillac ATS is targeted in content, features, price, and execution; to the compact luxury car buyer. Some competitor cars that Cadillac is aiming for are the Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4, and the BMW 3-Series.

2013 Cadillac ELR
Electric Concept Car Comes to Life as Cadillac ELR
Luxury touring coupe gets extended-range electric vehicle technology
DETROIT - The innovative Cadillac Converj Concept, a dramatic luxury coupe with extended-range electric vehicle technology, is moving forward as a production car that will be called the Cadillac ELR.
Development of the ELR is just underway, so details on performance, price and timing will be announced later.
The Cadillac ELR will feature an electric propulsion system made up of a T-shaped lithium ion battery, an electric drive unit, and a four-cylinder engine-generator. It uses electricity as its primary source to drive the car without using gasoline or producing tailpipe emissions. When the battery's energy is low, the ELR seamlessly switches to extended-range mode to enable driving for hundreds of additional miles.
"The concept generated instant enthusiasm," said Don Butler, vice president-Cadillac Marketing. "Like other milestone Cadillac models of the past, the ELR will offer something not otherwise present - the combination of electric propulsion with striking design and the fun of luxury coupe driving."
Cadillac selected the name ELR to indicate the car's electric propulsion technology, in keeping with the brand's 3-letter international model naming convention.
The Converj Concept sparked the idea of combining the desirability of a grand touring coupe with electrification, said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, Global Design.
"There's no mistaking it for anything but a Cadillac, an aggressive, forward-leaning profile and proportion showcases a uniquely shaped, modern vision of a personal luxury 2+2," Welburn said.
Cadillac will reveal another new concept car on Thursday, Aug. 18, at a special event prior to the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Cadillac also recently announced it will add two new vehicles to its product lineup in 2012, the XTS large luxury sedan and an all-new luxury compact sedan codenamed ATS.
2013 Cadillac ATS review details
The engine lineup starts with a standard 2.5L four-cylinder; a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder and the V-6 are available. The four-cylinders are next-generation engines, with the 2.0L turbo offered with a manual transmission -- a choice that's unavailable in some luxury cars.
Increased efficiency was a priority for the new four-cylinders. It was achieved partly through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16 percent using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump and, with the 2.5L, an actively controlled thermostat. Cadillac proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis techniques were used to develop an all-new combustion system with a higher compression ratio, which also helps Boost efficiency.
The 2.5L is rated at 202 horsepower (151 kW) and 191 lb.-ft. or torque (259 Nm), while the 2.0L turbo -- the latest in a series of technologically advanced, high-output turbo engines -- is rated at 272 horsepower (203 kW) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (353 Nm). The award-winning 3.6L V-6 is rated at 321 horsepower (239 kW) and 275 lb.-ft. of torque (373 Nm).
At 136hp/L, the new 2.0L turbo is one of the most power-dense engines in the industry, topping engines from European competitors.
All of the engines feature direct injection and dual overhead camshafts with continuously variable valve timing, which help optimize power and efficiency, as well as reduce emissions. And all of the engines are matched with six-speed transmissions, including the Hydra-Matic 6L45 automatic with tap-shift control, and a six-speed manual available with the turbo engine.
The ATS is offered with Cadillac CUE (with or without navigation) -- a comprehensive, in-vehicle experience that merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls and commands for information and entertainment data. It is designed to be unique for each consumer, from the "simple user" to the fully connected "super user."
CUE (Cadillac User Experience), pairs entertainment and information data from up to 10 Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, USBs, SD cards and MP3 players with a vehicle infotainment system that reduces complexity through customized information, voice commands and fewer buttons and larger icons. For example, most of today's luxury cars have around 20 buttons controlling the radio and entertainment functions. CUE has only four.
The heart of CUE is the eight-inch LCD multi-touch sensitive screen, seamlessly integrated into the top of the central instrument panel and a motorized, fully capacitive faceplate at the bottom concealing a 1.8L storage area. The vibrant LCD screen displays CUE's home page, which resembles a smart phone's screen, by using large, easy-to-target icons to execute commands. Capacitive technology refers to using electrodes to sense the conductive properties of objects, such as a finger.
