Cadillac is ready for another flagship, perhaps something along the lines of the gorgeous Sixteen concept that was first shown in 2. Except, once again, the economy isnt ready. Worse, once mighty GM doesnt even have the money to spend on such a project its got Chevy Volts and Cruzes that badly need building. Its been four or five decades since Cadillac built a car that came close to being The Standard of the World the brands tagline until the 1. CTS, and especially the world beating CTS v sport sedan, its rehabilitation is well underway. The first step was, believe it or dont, the King of Bling 1.

Escalade, which made Caddy a must have for sports, music, and Hollywood stars. More important, it dramatically improved Cadillacs chance of being considered for purchase by buyers under 5. The original Escalade made so much profit and gave GM management so much confidence in the brands appeal that the decision was made to invest in the Sigma premium platform, which returned most of Cadillacs passenger car lineup to rear drive and forms the basis for the COTY winning 2. CTS. It was a turning point in Cadillacs fortunes no one expected, and few especially at GM initially understood. Nearly a decade on, Cadillac is still only a bit player in the premium segment selling fewer cars than Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Lexus here in the U. S. and virtually invisible in Europe and Asia. And now, its at a crossroads arguably the most crucial in the brands history Cadillac is off life support, but to prosper it must go global. GM will not measure Cadillacs success only by the number of German and Japanese luxury car buyers it conquests. More important is to grab a share of new luxury car buyers, many of them coming from emerging markets like China and Russia. With the U. S. appeal of the Escalade diminishing in proportion to the rise in gas prices 2. July were down 3.

STS, DTS, SRX, and XLR aging fast, Cadillac is effectively a one car company, almost totally reliant on the CTS. That means it needs at least 1. Problem is, cash strapped GM faces a ravaged economy and the spectre of the 2. Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, right at the very time its luxury brand needs money to take on Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, and Lexus. All this explains why GM is taking a bigger gamble now than it did in 1. Cadillacs in the next five years. But it has no choice. The future of American luxury is at stake. CTS COUPEThe coupe, which premiered at the Los Angeles auto show in November, rolls on the same 1. I/51m55Axsr4L.jpg' alt='The Guess Who Greatest Hits Zip' title='The Guess Who Greatest Hits Zip' />CTS sedan, which saves a lot of development and tooling money, yet achieves coupelike proportions, thanks to a fast roofline and a rear overhang thats 4. Its a strategy GMs Australian designers used to create the Pontiac GTO coupe from the Holden Commodore sedan. All the sheetmetal past the A pillar is exclusive to the coupe. But while that fast backlight looks great, it effectively nixes the chance there will be a convertible version, because GM would have to engineer new structural metal around the rear end as well as new quarter panels and decklid. The concepts rear bumper was redesigned for rear offset crash standards, but the single pipe centered exhaust remains. The engine is the sedans 3. V 6, including the optional 3. The CTS v version will follow within a year after the coupes mid 2. As most of the engine, transmission, and suspension hardware from the sedan virtually bolts right in, this 5. Caddy two door will be a relatively low cost program. AIMED AT BMW 3 Series, Mercedes Benz CLK, Audi A5. CTS SPORT WAGONThis is very much a Eurocentric model. Cadillac initially considered the wagon a niche car for the U. S., with volume in the 3. The entire brand sold just 4. Europe in 2. 00. 7, so even if the Sport Wagon becomes its volume model there, total sales probably will be well below 8. As a result, Cadillac now is talking up the CTS wagon as an alternative for buyers anxious to get out of big, luxury SUVs. Given Americas love affair with the SUV, its unlikely to prove as popular as the next generation SRX see next page. Powertrain lineup in the U. S. will mirror the sedans, which means the 3. V 6, with either 2. All wheel drive also will be available. What about a CTS v Sport Wagon A 5. Platinum Notes 3 Crack. The wagon has a flexier body than those of the sedan and coupe and would require serious recalibration of the suspension. The potential sales volume would be too small for that sort of capital investment. European buyers will be able to buy the CTS Sport Wagon with the 2. VM Motori turbodiesel. But dont rule out a diesel for the U. S., either GM is considering its smooth, innovative new 4. V 8, originally designed for the GMT 3. It fits under the hood of the CTS sedan, coupe, and wagon, so long as Cadillac uses the raised CTS v hood the 4. AIMED AT BMW 5 Series wagon, Mercedes Benz E Class wagon, Audi A6 Avant. SRX CROSSOVERCadillacs crossover switches from the rear drive Sigma platform to the front drive Theta Epsilon GMT1. Styling of the production version, which is expected to make its debut at the 2. Detroit show, will differ little from the concept already seen. Moving SRX off Sigma onto Theta Epsilon buys GM a better interior package relative to the vehicle footprint. It shares the new platform with the upcoming Saab 9 4x, and its bigger than the Chevy Equinox, Pontiac Torrent GMC Terrain, and Saturn Vue Thetas, so its directed squarely at Lexus hugely popular RX midsize crossovers. The SRX will be loaded with far more features and high technology than any of its platform brethren, though not the hybrid powertrain the Provoq fuel cell hybrid hinted at. Engine options are 2.

ALPHA FAMILYEven Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus envy what BMW has done with the 3 Series Making it an affordable, iconic sport luxury model that brings in bags full of euros in profit. Alpha is GMs small rear drive vehicle architecture and launches in late 2. CTS Cadillac sedan aimed straight at the 3 Series. This is where the volume is in the premium segment, both here in the U. S. and in Europe and Asia. This is where the money is made. Cadillac simply cannot afford not to do this car. And it cannot afford not to do coupe, convertible, and wagon variants of the car, just like Benz and BMW. A 2. 01. 2 Alpha convertible is likely to follow within a year. An Alpha coupe is a logical addition, although heres where the picture gets fuzzy. One of our spy photos shows a radical two door hatchback style car similar in concept to the Z3 based BMW M Coupe that bowed in 1. Cadillac may be anticipating an emerging trend toward luxury C segment hatchbacks, which seems a gamble, even for the European market, although Mercedes is a player in the segment with the C Class based CLC. We hear Bob Lutz is pushing hard for an Alpha coupe thats more or less a scaled down version of the CTS.
