Cadillac CTS Production Car: News Leaks in GM's Viability Plan
After a flip through GM’s 117 page Viability Plan, submitted yesterday to the U.S. Government, we came across one little surprise. That’s right, the Cadillac CTS, listed in the “Future Product Launches” appendix.
Up until now we have just sort of assumed that this car would see production, but now it appears to be official.
Little is still known about the CTS Coupe, other than the fact that GM plans to begin production of the car in 2010, likely as a 2011 model. It will come with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (sorry, no turbo-diesel like in the concept car) and will use a six-speed automatic transmission.
Every other vehicle listed in the same appendix is already a known production model. The eight vehicle include: the Chevy Volt, the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Chevrolet Equinox, the Buick Lacrosse and the Cadillac SRX.
With AutoGuide from its launch, Colum previously acted as Editor-in-Chief of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine where he became a certifiable car snob driving supercars like the Koenigsegg CCX and racing down the autobahn in anything over 500 hp. He has won numerous automotive journalism awards including the Best Video Journalism Award in 2014 and 2015 from the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Colum founded Geared Content Studios, VerticalScope's in-house branded content division and works to find ways to integrate brands organically into content.
