Cadillac ATS Coupe Still in the Works, New CTS to Debut at New York Auto Show
Newly appointed Cadillac global vice president, Robert Ferguson, confirmed that the ATS will be getting a coupe variant as originally planned, although no timetable was shared.
With Ferguson diving into his new position, the exec confirmed that the ATS coupe is incoming and that a wagon and convertible models aren’t going to become a reality. One thing he did admit however is that the ATS is a “great car, and we [Cadillac] need to have variations of it, and we will.”

Clearly that variation means a coupe but out in Europe, the American automaker may be introducing a diesel model as well. It will be a new diesel engine based on current engine architecture and will hopefully attract European consumers to the model, despite the lack of a wagon offering.
Also in the interview, Ferguson admitted that the third-generation CTS will be making its debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show later this year.
