Two Cadillac models, both of which would be produced in Lansing and
could be rolled out as early as 2009, awed attendees of the Detroit Auto Show
this week.
According to excerpts from the article:
The world's largest automaker showed off the 2009
Cadillac CTS-V - the high performance version of the redesigned CTS sedan that
will be made at the Lansing Grand River plant - at the North American
International Auto Show. The rollout had been expected.
But GM surprised the gathering of world media with a
concept vehicle also based on the entry-level luxury car. The sporty CTS coupe
concept would be made at Lansing Grand River, alongside the CTS, SRX crossover
and STS sedan.
Also on display was the Cadillac Provoq, a fuel cell
concept vehicle that will serve as the basis for the product that replaces the
SRX, Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor said.
An SRX replacement is expected for the 2010 model year.
The Provoq made its debut last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas.
The CTS-V is the only one of the trio that is certain to
go into production. Workers will start building it in September, and it is
expected to hit dealer lots later in the fourth quarter.
