Cadillac 16 Is Alive

The question comes down to:
Do you continue to squeeze more profit out of building cars that no one will buy (like the bean counters have been doing for years)?

Or...

Do you make cars that people want to buy and sell more to increase your profitability?

I hope that they do bring this car out just to go head to head with Maybach and Bentley. They need to do it better than they do... just like the Cadillac of old.

What do you think?

Lutz: Camaro could spawn big Caddy




The Car Connection spoke to GM vice chairman Bob Lutz at the Chicago Auto Show who told them a bigger, badder Cadillac built on the new Camaro chassis could be in the works. Lutz said the reason Camaro's expected on-sale date was delayed was so that the platform could be better integrated with future products.

While Lutz never utters the name "Sixteen" in the conversation, we just have to wonder if the ultra luxury Caddy is what GM has in mind. We reported back in December that GM had absolutely no plans for the Cadillacs of Cadillacs, but maybe, just maybe, Lutz has changed the beancounters' minds and the company will, after all, make real the Sixteen concept.
