I was under the impression that China was a very difficult market to get into due to the Chinese government. Has this changed or did I read wrong?

Will Cadillac be sold through Holden dealerships?

Also I heard that on the China front that the Daewoo badge is the back door into China.

So then they might be selling a car called the Daewoo CTS in China?

More Info:
1. Lutz confirms Cadillac will "probally" come to Australia, though GM's not ready to announce it.

2. The CTSv won't be part of this because it can't be switched to RHD though the V6 CTSs can (though it's not mentioned, it's all but illegal to sell LHD cars in Australia).

3. (A bit of Trivia) Both the STS and SRX are package protected for RHD conversion.
