News about Cadillac alpha

Sounds like this is alpha. Has anyone heard of plans to produce other cars on the platform? It will be very annoying if Cadillac claims sole ownership of another RWD platform.

Do not want the Saabillac. Don't really want the BLS name either. Will the touring version be BLT? Will it come in "Mayo Creme Metallic"?

Yes! And a baconic beige interior.

Seriously, though. I'm all for a Caddy alpha that is a "real" Cadillac, but the BLS is just sad.

The current BLS is FWD so it probably wouldn't look exactly like the Euro model if a RWD model came out.

Done right (as in not like the Cimmaron), I can't see why a 4 cylinder Caddy couldn't make a go of things, given the current climate and some name other BLS would certainly help.
