For 45k, I'd buy me a new Cadillac XTS with minimal options, which is still probably more equipped then this SS. I get it, low volume, high demand, built so Chevy can run the current car in Nascar. Similar situation to the Monte Carlo AeroCoupe from the 80's. You rarely saw those back in the day. Even rarer now.

Make sure to get the big boy engine or you'll get one of the dumber exhaust setups out there.

Holy crap! Even my wife's 2.5L four cylinder Altima has dual exhaust pipes.:lol: I assume that's a 2.0T ATS? I would imagine the 6 cylinders have dual exhaust pipes???

Yeah, I saw an ATS at the mall the other day and actually puked a little on the carpet they had it parked on. Luckily, nobody but the wife saw it. :D

It seems to have an affect on "centering" the vehicle. The absence of an additional exhaust pipe and the driver will never be able to park between the lines.

That photo makes the pipe look like it's towards the center more then the driver's side. I'm hoping it's just the angle of the photo.

I was thinking it was the 2.0T engine option, but nope. They have duals, and are properly badged. Apparently the one in the photo above is a 2.5L Standard ATS.

It's in the same location as the left side of that dual setup. It looks like shit.

That makes sense looking at the 2.0T now. The exhaust is centered in the middle more then off to the sides. So when it only has one tip it throws it way off looks wise. I agree, that looks like shit. Cadillac could have done better with that IMO. I'd still prefer the XTS over the ATS regardless of exhaust piping :lol:
