I want to see a ATS-V sedan.

I wish we could calculate some dimensions on that car - assuming those are 18" wheels.

It looks familiar to me, like some other car (in silhouette). Maybe an Audi? I even see a little of the Malibu Maxx there as well.
Guess I'd need to see more pics and better pics to determine if I like it or not.

Me too. The design of this car was described to me afew years ago, and in my mind I pictured it having more agressive proportions.

That's it! I know the back end reminded me of another car, but I couldn't put my finger on it. That is definitely a lot like the Malibu Maxx!

I bet that's the FWD small Caddy that was scrapped a while back. Looks like a Delorean and a CTS got it on.

Not quite Malibu Maxx but much more Audi A3 like, IMO.

The shape of it looks like the Volt to me. I don't think this is the ATS.

For me the front isn't bad. However I don't like that hatchback look at all. I'd rather see a 4-door coupe.

Ummm...looks like a Caddy version of the Malibu Maxx.

Edit....Yup...Didn't read page two where other people said Malibu Maxx.

The Cadillac styling language doesn't translate well to the Aveo/Chevette/Maxx, which is what it looks like to me. Blech.

Bob Lutz just got back to me, and he said this pic has nothing to do with Alpha.
