Second, the ATS was better than expected and coming very close to the F30. If the ATS was not as good as it is, the F30 would have a stronger case to be COTY.

If I had to pick I would likely pick the FR-S/BRZ. I don't see how you could be disappointed with that car given the purpose it was manufactured for and at that price point.
Most reviews, include MT, state the ATS is ultimately let down by the motor and tranny. They can't overlook those things when it comes to CotY.

I don't think it will be the FR-S/BRZ. If you look at the history of MT's CotY, the typically pick cars with more mass appeal, i.e. cars with a 4-door option. In the past 10 years, only one car (GT-R) has been a coupe-only. And the GT-R is/was way more revolutionary than the FR-S/BRZ.
