The first 2013 Cadillac ATS compact sedan rolled off the line today at the Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Michigan.
General Motors hopes the ATS -- which arrives in dealerships in August and is the brand's first compact sedan in three decades -- will compete favorably with the BMW 3-series.
The ATS will have a new rear wheel drive-based design that shoots for a more "nimble, quick and fun driving performance," GM says.

The plant also produces the CTS sedan, wagon and coupe as well as V-series performance models for each vehicle.
"The new Cadillac ATS represents an investment in Lansing and our workforce," said Tony Francavilla, Lansing regional plant manager, in a statement. "A successful launch needs a great process and a great product, but at the heart of it all are the people, and the care they put into each and every vehicle."
