2013 Cadillac XTS Sedan: First Official Image Published on GM's Site by Mistake

An official photo that was published allegedly by mistake on Cadillac's public site earlier today, gives us our first glimpse at the production 2013 XTS luxury sedan, one week ahead of its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The picture was captured before it was removed from the website by a reader of Jalopnik, which then confirmed its authenticity with Cadillac.

The production model is almost identical to last year's XTS Platinum concept study that was displayed at the 2010 Detroit motor show. In fact, from this angle, the only noteworthy styling changes appear to be limited to the headlamp and fog lamp assemblies and the larger and more practical mirror housings.

Here's another chance to take a look at the upcoming 2013 Cadillac ATS, GM's answer to the executive compact sedan segment dominated by the likes of BMW's 3-Series, the Audi A4 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Our scoop photographers captured the 2013 Cadillac ATS while testing in Europe.

Mystery Scoop: Is this the 2014 Cadillac ATS, a Future Buick or Something Else?

Maybe you can help us out here. A Carscoop reader, who prefers to remain anonymous, nabbed these photos of an identical pair of camouflaged prototype sedans at a tollbooth in Ohio.

The photos were shot from a distance with a cell phone camera, so it’s difficult to tell the brand and make of the vehicles. Our unnamed reader told us that the front end looked like a Cadillac but the rest of the car reminded him of a Buick, and we’ll agree with him.

VIDEO: 2014 Cadillac ATS Compact RWD Sports Sedan Spied Out Testing

A prototype version of Cadillac’s upcoming BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class rival, dubbed the ATS, has been caught on video during road testing. Though still heavily camouflaged, it appears that the Detroit firm’s compact, rear-wheel drive sports sedan will continue with Cadillac’s Art and Science design language.

The new ATS sedan will be positioned below the CTS, taking its place as the Cadillac’s entry-level model. The introduction of the ATS will allow the next iteration of the CTS to grow in dimensions to better compete with Germany’s executive saloons like the BMW 5-Series and Audi A6.

The engine lineup of the ATS is pretty much speculation as of right now, though a supposedly official document that leaked onto the internet in January made word of three engine choices including a 270HP 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 330HP 3.6-liter V6 and a 470HP 6.2-liter V8 for the range topping ATS-V.
