Yes the 3/4 outsold the ATS many times over, also the Camry is the #1 selling car overall and I wouldn't buy one if looking in it's class either.
Looks like the 3/4 series dropped by 25% from 2014-2015 and the ATS dropped by 10%. So the ATS is hated but the 3/4 have a dip because everyone already purchased one and it hit the market 4 years ago, not 3?
Also, I bought a used 2013 CPO ATS, and very happy with what I paid for the car, how it is to drive (handling universally reviewed as best in class), what it came with (forged, staggered wheels, Magnetic ride, LSD) when a comparable 3 series price was far greater. Can you get an LSD or forged wheels on a 3 series and what does it cost? If I drive it to 120k miles (my plan) the odds the overall cost benefit will grow in Cadillac's favor are huge. How many people get rid of their BMW because the warranty is going to expire?
Yes if you care about the badge, it's image as an old persons car, or what other people think I wouldn't recommend looking at one. As a BMW and Cadillac owner I prefer the "why did you buy an old person's car" over the "ah a BMW douche".  . |
You do realize that my posts were jokes in response to other posts? I neither believe that bmw drivers are douchebags or that cadillac drivers are old people cars.
Sales figures show that the brand sells less cars than its competitors, Cadillac is not setting records in really any category compared to its competitors.

ATS sells about 1500-1800 a month. so any slight variation in sales affects the % a lot more than 12,000-15,000 a month of a 3/4 series. I hope you understand that when you compare 2 extreme numbers like that in % terms it is a silly discussion.
You should love your ATS, it is a fine car. The brand is not selling compared to the competition. That is a fact.
