And not being manual was the biggest downfall for the cla 250. the ATS is a tough one to compete with when it comes to the bottom of it.

I agree with that , at least offer a manual in the basemodel. Lexus was smart enough and did that with their lexus IS. MB should take note.

But the usual trend now is that car makers offer manuals a year after the vehicles original release, it's like they're trying to slowly transition people to just automatic transmission vehicles without the option to go manual.

Unless cadillac decides to come out with something smaller than the ATS.

that might or might not be a good idea. but still possible, there are so many smaller Chevy platforms they can use for the smaller caddy
