In a visit to my Cadillac dealer today, the owner's son did say at the recent dealer's meeting the question (and joke) was regarding the CTS, "Did we just kill the STS?" The answer of course is yes. Once the CTS gets the new next-gen Northstar V8 in about a year or two, there won't be any need to keep the STS around. At that point, the CTS will be the 5 series competitor it should be with a choice of 2 V6 engines, a V8 and high performance V-series V8. There is a wagon version of the CTS being worked on, primarily for export markets but the US should get it too. A coupe has always been in the rumor bin...hopefully we'll see that next year. After that, Caddy will need a new smaller entry level vehicle for the US and to replace the existing Saab-derived B-series car available in Europe now. And a new larger flagship sedan should replace the STS and DTS on the top end. But apparently the concept car we should expect to see at next year's North American Auto Show will be a new Caddy crossover. Since an SRX replacement is still up in the air according to the rumor mill, I expect that vehicle will be a smaller B-series crossover. It should be interesting and will be a glimpse into what a B-series car will look like. |
