Cadillac Takes Home Two Texas Auto Writers Association Awards

BARRINGTON, Ill. - May 22, 2013 - PRLog -- The 2013 Cadillac XTS (http://www.motorwerkscadillac.com/cadillac-xts.htm) and ATS, which are both currently available at Motor Werks Cadillac of Barrington, have been favorites of both drivers and critics alike. The Texas Auto Writers Association, which is a coalition of journalists covering the auto industry, gave the ATS top honors in the Performance Sedan Category, and the XTS the top spot in the Full-Size Luxury Car Category. The awards were announced at the annual Texas Auto Writers Association Texas Auto Roundup, which lets the judges test-drive vehicles from across the categories. The Roundup took place April 28th and 29th at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

The new 2013 Cadillac ATS (http://www.motorwerkscadillac.com/cadillac-ats.htm) has received more than 20 awards since its introduction last fall, including North American Car of the Year, Esquire Car of the Year, and many more. The compact sport sedan has been widely praised as competitive with every car in the segment.  The Cadillac ATS boasts rear or all-wheel drive performance, three powerful and efficient engine options, a limited slip differential, and an optional Tremec six-speed manual. The Cadillac ATS is both sporty performance and a luxurious and high tech interior.

The 2013 Cadillac XTS has also been critically acclaimed, especially for its technological features. Its well-designed interior, equipped with the high-tech CUE system, landed on Ward’s Top 10 Interiors list, and claimed Connected Car of the Year in 2012. The XTS is billed as the most sophisticated Cadillac ever, with Driver Awareness and Driver Assist systems, which anticipate the future of automated driving.

In a press release, Melody Lee, director of Cadillac brand and reputation strategy said, "The ATS challenges the world’s best performance sedans, and the larger XTS redefines the luxury sedan via advanced technology” She went on to say, “The Texas Auto Writers Association is an influential group in a key market for Cadillac, making these awards all the more significant.”
