Cadillac ATS Soon Made In China

Many hopes are pinned on the success of the new Cadillac ATS. It could become a bit more successful when it is built in China. Chinese production will start in late 2013, writes Carnewschina.

The car will be produced by GM's joint venture with SAIC.  Until production ramps up, the ATS will be imported to China. It is expected to debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November. Carnewschina does not have high hopes for volume sales of the imported ATS:

"It will be expensive compared to locally made competition such as the Audi A4L, the BMW 3Li and the Mercedes-Benz C-class. The real battle then, will only begin in early 2014."

The L in the models by the competition does not stand for Luxury. It stands for Long. If you are somebody in China, you don't drive, you are driven, and you want leg room in the aft compartment.
