GM intensifying in Michigan for 2013 Cadillac ATS

GM is expanding an assembly plant in Michigan, where it will construct the latest small 2013 Cadillac ATS.

The Detroit News reports a formal declaration will come now for the expansion. GM will spend $190 million in its Grand River Assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan, and will include 600 workers to accommodate the new product.

GM hasn't inveterate that the ATS is the product to be added to the Grand River site.

The 2013 ATS will be the fresh entry-level Cadillac, slotting under the CTS. By the time the ATS enters late in 2012, the Cadillac sedan lineup will comprise the ATS four-door (and possibly a hatchback version), a revamped CTS, and the 2013 Cadillac XTS, a front- or all-wheel-drive large sedan to be built in Oshawa, Ontario.

Grand River Assembly currently builds the CTS lineup and the SRX crossover.

The ATS is being developed with European markets particularly in mind. Cadillac has presented a BLS model in Europe; however the lightly reskinned version of the Saab 9-3 sold inadequately and was discontinued as GM prepared to sell off the Saab division.
