Well the 130R is on the Alpha platform so Caddy already has the ATS which should get a coupe version down the road. Haven't heard much about the 130R though. There's another RWD platform on the way (Omega), which will be for larger, premium cars and crossovers. We'll see a flagship Caddy sedan and possibly the next Escalade or a Buick. GM did just trademark the Riviera name - I'm looking forward to a nice Buick coupe.

GM did send it on the international Auto show circuit. Lots of talk and rumors about it heading down under as a revived Torana. That would be appropriate since the first talk of an Alpha platform was on the Torana concept. It also seemed to do well when showed in China. Spread it around the world to help keep it at the entry level cost it should be at in Chevy’s line up.
