Caddy BLS

From the German article, it says 1.9 diesel from Fiat, 2.0 turbo and 2.8 V6 twin turbo making 275hp.

Re: Caddy BLS

Its an entry level car for Caddy for Europe only.
It does look VERY good. IMO, Saab should be in charge of ALL interior design.
It would be nice if this car came to the US, but there could be a backfire right when Caddy is coming back.

Re: Caddy BLS

That looks very nice. And that is the interior the CTS should have. What platform is it based on? I heard it was based on Epislon, but hopefully it isn't FWD, but maybe AWD

Re: Caddy BLS

Very nice! I really do like the interior. Also, if you notice, it actually has a different steering wheel.

Re: Caddy BLS

I see a lot of the Acura TSX in the body lines. I like it a lot!

I'd rather have the BLS over a TL, both are FWD, but Turbo DOHC 2.8L > N/A Honda V6.

A can't say it enough, that Diesel 1.9L needs to come to the USA

Re: Caddy BLS

Its a great looking car less that horrible grill . Both the new DTS and now this car have that huge open egg crate grill now , hopefully this ugly theme doesnt carry to the newer Caddy models . Thats the only gripe I can see , looks wise .
