Some people didn't believe me earlier when I spoke about Sigma transmissions. So here is the link. Sigma transmisions for some of Cadillac's Sigma platform cars are built in FRANCE. The highly anticipated release of the 2008 Cadillac CTS will have it's transmission built in FRANCE Realizing these and other sweeping changes, even a diehard foreign origin car guy like me may soon purchase a Caddy. click--> Facts about Sigma Transmissions

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 17, 2007 5:33 am) While the 8-6-4 engine was a maintenance hog, I think that the replace engine, the 4100, was far worse for Cadillac's reputation. The 4100 had a design flaw that resulted in about 25% of the engines to fail. This design flaw was in production for about 3 or so years before it was figured out. |

according to GM's website, is built in the USA, not France.

Replying to: displacedtexan (Apr 16, 2007 4:00 pm) I agree with that. I've picked cars very carefully and enjoyed the making of the decision. I might choose the Lucerne model of the Cadillac again, but I certainly can pick whatever I want from the ones listed. I notice doctor's parking lots in hospitals and branch hospitals as well as certain offices (not a random survey) contain a mixture of cars mentioned along with Avalon or two and lots of GM SUVs from Chevs, GMCs, to Cadillacs. |

Replying to: poncho167 (Apr 16, 2007 1:07 pm) Both the Allante and Reatta were aimed at the two passenger luxury car market. I am sure GM expected to sell them to GM owners who wanted a two passenger luxury sporty model. I don't think they expected to owners of European luxury sporty models to trade them for one of the GM models. |
