Replying to: 62vetteefp (May 07, 2008 7:05 am) The obvious solution is an electric drive with motor generator which GM proposed with the Volt concept car. I think this is the future at GM if they can make it work.

"Certainly not lack of willpower. GM does not pay any gaz guzzler fines and has decided not ever to"   Caddy STS-v & STS V8 AWD both are assessed the Gas Guzzler Tax...

Replying to: rayainsw (May 09, 2008 4:52 am) I don't remember paying a guzzler tax on my DTS. Maybe I didn't look closely or it doesn't have one. Replies to this message: british_rover (May 09, 2008 5:56 am)

Replying to: lemko (May 09, 2008 4:56 am) It doesn't. A mid power level V8 and FWD don't consume enough fuel to trigger the gas guzzler tax.

Replying to: rayainsw (May 09, 2008 4:52 am) I certainly stand corrected. Things changed in 4 years when this rule was in effect. Probably another Lutz decision.

Replying to: rayainsw (May 09, 2008 4:52 am) Don't forget the XLR.   Regards, OW
#4911 of 6098 Cadillac has fastest sedan in world on Nurburgring? by 62vetteefp May 16, 2008 (6:49 am)
Parent General Motors says the CTS-V has lapped the Nurburgring circuit in Germany in under 8 minutes, potentially the fastest documented time for a production sedan.   In recent weeks, the Nissan GT-R and Lexus LF-A supercars did a lap of the circuit in around 7 minutes 25 seconds. The Cadillac CTS-V was timed at 7:59:32. Replies to this message: circlew (May 16, 2008 6:51 am)

#4914 of 6098 cts WAGON/ / SRX by 62vetteefp Jun 25, 2008 (8:40 am)
By Jamie Lareau    June 23, 2008      General Motors will unveil a Cadillac CTS wagon this fall in an effort    to compete with BMW's 3 series and Mercedes C-class wagons.      Cadillac intends to start production in 2009 for global sale. GM has    shown a CTS coupe concept to be produced next year.      Cadillac also plans to replace its current SRX crossover with a    production version of the Provoq concept crossover as a 2010 model. The    current SRX has suffered disappointing sales. Sources familiar with GM's    plans say the re-engineered and restyled SRX will look similar to the    Provoq, a hydrogen fuel cell concept.      When the Provoq was shown in January, Cadillac General Manager Jim    Taylor told Automotive News that a production version could do something    the current SRX has failed to do: draw in female buyers. Taylor    predicted a production Provoq could sell 60,000 to 70,000 units    annually. Last year, Cadillac sold 22,543 units of the SRX in the United    States.      The current SRX is built on the Sigma architecture, also used for the    CTS and STS. The next-generation SRX will be on a new architecture that    is a blend of two GM front-wheel-drive architectures, Theta and Epsilon,    and will likely be powered by a V-6 engine. In size it would be between    the Saturn Vue and GM's Lambda-based crossovers such as the Buick    Enclave.
