And if GM is planning on putting a V8 under the hood, expect the ATS to be the heaviest of the bunch. Even if they don't ... I'd still expect the ATS to be the heaviest of the bunch, GM is known for many things ... but saving weight is not one of them
Your expecting ~3750 lbs or so? That doesn't look like that much of an improvement over the Zeta platforms.
