Cadillac ATS production commences at recently upgraded plant

General Motors has ensured that their new Cadillac 2013 ATS rolls out from a newly upgraded plant which was undertaken at an investment of $190 million. A second shift has been added to facilitate production while 600 additional workers have been added to the company's existing 1643 permanent and temporary employees.

GM Cadillac ATS will be produced at the company assembly plant in Lansing Grand River, Michigan from where CTS sedan, Wagon, Coupe and V Series models are also produced. 2013 ATS is expected to hit dealer showrooms this summer while prices are expected in the $33,990 bracket including destination charges.

The vehicle will be powered by a 200 hp 2.5 liter four cylinder engine which pay push prices a bit higher to $35,795 while the top of the like ATS should reach $42,090. This top end model will be powered by a 3.6 liter V6 engine offering 320 hp automatic with an all wheel drive. Handling is better than expected as Cadillac engineers have ensured weight is considerably reduced giving the vehicle a perfect 50/50 weight distribution and also added a steering rack from ZF.
