Wordless Wednesdays: What’s This?

Your guess is as good as ours, but we would like to think that it’s the skeleton of the upcoming Cadillac ATS. What do you think?

  1. I’m thiking ATS way way two much ART and SCIENCE SWAGGER to be a Chevrolet.
    Lookit you can even see vestigial tailfin at the rear even without taillamp assembleys, even the “A” pillar looks way way too far back for FWD, it seems to insersect behind the front axle not ahead of it like a FWD. The wheels look like somthing somone from work would purchase at TIRE RACK to dress up a 2nd generation Mitsubishi Eclipse.
    I would like to believe that this is a Malibu, too; but if this tight little rear drive sedan is a Chevrolet that my guess would be Chevelle, and only available in an alternate universe.

  2. I’m not sure, but it isn’t a Malibu. If you look at the trunk’s bodylines, then you would see the lines are going up slightly while the Malibu’s is flat kind of like a Volvo. The backside is also way to slanted inward at the top aiming forward. Plus you can see the Malibu’s taillight on the side – unlike this. Finally, the doors on a Malibu end in a sharp point, not rounded, at the taillights.

  3. I forgot to tell you about the rear doors Alex, they don’t look like sharp like the Malibu’s, but they are kind of smoothed out and at this angle, the rear looks similar to the current generation Impala and I’m sure that the new Malibu has more angular shoulders like the Camaro, and has a rounded fuel door. This concept sedan has softer angling by the shoulders and has a square fuel door. Or it could be the next generation Cadillac CTS, because of how the same rear doors are similar to the current midsize CTS and Cadillac said the next gen CTS would grow to the stretched version of the upcoming Alpha Platform, a full size sedan platform. What’s weird is that I’m 14 and I know enough to pass as a 23 yr old man who loves his GM soo badly!

  4. It doesn’t seem to check out as the new ‘Bu, or the exoskeleton of the Cruze from the look of the rear door cut… but it’s hard to tell how much of an overhang is left up front, making it difficult to suggest if it’s actually something Alpha-based or not. But the rear half does seem to strongly suggest it.

  5. Ow come on, you can even see the transmision tunnel on the floorbord, looks like there is room for an Allison 6sp/Spicer 6sp for a possible 1000hp/2500lbs/ft 455ci varient. Although the wheels do SCREAM………IMPORT! they do so in an American sort of TIRE RACK way: a real european car would have real BBS’s and would’nt have tailfins, although Merceidies Benz had tailfins back in the 60’s. As for the front overhang, it do’snt look too much, to me the front end; undressed as it is looks like the last two generations of Ford Mustang. Could’nt be a Falcon? no, not with tailfins. Maybee a Volvo or Citroen or somthing, they have tailfins sometimes?
    No i’m stickin with ATS, maybee someone at GM’s desighn house has an account at TIRE RACK?
