Molto interessante! Sarà merito delle proporzioni da TP...

Comunque sembra grandicella, ai 4,80 mi sa che ci arriva

Prenderà il posto della BLS?

Prenderà il posto della BLS?

Teoricamente il suo ruolo è proprio quello

Mah... l'ennesima Caddy col solito stile, per quel che posso capire ora. Mi ha un po' stufato a dir la verità.

Sources familiar with the ATS program say the car's dashboard design will go with a full touch-screen interface, without traditional buttons, switches, or knobs. We'll see if that actually happens

GM's Eight-Speed Automatic Plan

Likely Recipients for New Rear-Drive Tranny Include Alpha Cadillac, Next-Gen Camaro

From the August, 2011 issue of Motor Trend / By Todd Lassa

The new small rear-drive Cadillac, the next CTS, the Chevrolet Camaro, future full-size pickups, and whatever other RWD models GM conjures up in the next few years will benefit from a $204-million investment in an eight-speed automatic transmission plant in Toledo, Ohio. Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson announced the investment and the eight-speed for longitudinal engine use recently, confirming that GM is catching up with the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus. Chrysler will have eight-speed transmissions soon, and Ford has announced a new FWD eight-speed automatic.

Figure on GM's eight-speed to make its way into the new Alpha platform rear-drive cars, which start with the ATS-codename 2013 Cadillac 3 Series-fighter, the 2014 Cadillac CTS and the 2015 Chevy Camaro. The transmission could work in all but high-torque versions of GM's pickups and sport/utilities, as well.

GM is the inventor of the mass-market fully automatic transmission, with varying gear counts through the years. A brief look at the history shows that what the new eight-speed needs more than anything is a cool, post-modern name. In the past there have been:

Hydramatic: four speeds, launched in 1940 Oldsmobiles. It was redesigned for the 1956 model year with a sprag clutch and a secondary fluid coupling, and discontinued after 1964.

Dynaflow: two speeds, 1948 to 1964 Buicks. GM's second fully automatic transmission.

Powerglide: two speeds, 1950 to 1973 Chevrolets, including the 1971-73 Vega.

Jetaway: two speeds, 1964-69 Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick midsize cars.

Roto-Hydramatic: three speeds, 1961 to 1964 Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles.

Turbo-Hydramatic: three speeds, launching in high-torque V-8 powered models from all divisions in 1965. By the '70s, it was GM's mainstream automatic, and it evolved into a four-speed automatic. It is used in some GM models to this day.
