As for the ATS.. My biggest hope is that it will get the proper drive trains to seriously compete with the German competition... I think these configurations would properly address BMW for instance:


2.0LdiTurbo 300HP, 3.6LDi 330HP, 3.6LDiTT 450HP Vseries
ATC (Coupe)/and ATC Convert
Mild Hybrid with Li-Ion (BAS II) Available on Aseries
Optional AWD available thru out the range

(This should also be the engine choices for the SRX as well)

I don't see a need for a V8 if the V6 is TWIN-TURBO to compete with the M3. If the C63AMG is the goal... then the torque of an LS3 might be the savior. 460HP is then a must IMO
I think the SRX is getting a 2.8L Turbo...that's what I'd like to see included in an optional "sport" package for the ATS coupe.
