GM may build small Caddy for Europe.

From Automotive News:

Entry-level car seems less likely for U.S.
General Motors is considering a proposal to build an entry-level Cadillac for the European market, although it's not clear whether it will ever be sold in the United States.


What do you suppose this car might be based on?

This Kappa story could be firming up.

I belive that Epsilon was the basis, but it would only come in AWD. Im sure that the 2.4 ecotec, 2.8 VVT and turbo 2.8 will make its way. There is a picture of the car floating around the internet. This story has been around for some time.

Yeah, as it turns out, this is the same Epsilon idea that's been around for awhile.

I have a feeling that the Sydney show may change some things.

I hope it is AWD only. If Caddy wants to stay at the top as a luxury player it needs to avoid FWD at all costs.
