I hope not...
They are throwing out that CTS Coupe, which is pretty cool... But really, how hard is it to keep everything the same and cut out 2 doors.
Way to go design team!

Don't forget that GM is going to make CORVETTE a dealership on that name only. Yes when you someone wants to look at a new Corvette they will have to go too the Corvette dealership. I read it one of my car mags. and their looking for the $100,000 price tag on the new Vettes. It could happen by 2010.

Actually, that makes sense...the only dealer I've ever seen where the 'Vettes don't get lost in the ambiguous starter GM's is at Kerbeck in AC, NJ. I was there 2 weeks ago and at least 40 of them jammed their parking lot...as well as another 30 inside the show room.

That's just a bad idea all around, Cadillac should be the one with the best performance vehicles above all other GM brands, and the very idea not having Cadillac be a sports car builder back in 1953 was, and still is, plain idiotic.

If Cadillac had the marketing for the Corvette it would have been a luxury sports car and would have been much more expensive. I suspect that it would have failed.
 
On the otherhand, in the current market place, Cadillac probably does need some sort of sports car for image purposes. However, a clone of the Corvette does not seem like quite the right image to me. I think that if Cadillac could do something with the basic Camaro platform and design a sports car using that platform as the basis, then they might have something.

Maybe they could do something like the Allante again, but do it right this time.

Isn't that what the XLR was? But yeah, do it right. And issue loud proclamations against whitewall tires and landau bars.
