Cadillac to offer more model derivatives, small Caddy coming shortly

According to Mark McNabb, vice president of Cadillac-Hummer-Saab sales channel, the new Cadillac CTS family shows what Cadillac wants to do with its car lineup – offer more derivatives of each model.

“Look at a CTS and I think you can start understanding where we are going. Look at a CTS [sedan], CTS wagon, CTS coupe — obviously, derivatives off of a platform make a lot of sense from a financial perspective,” McNabb told Automotive News.

The 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon is on its way for this fall while the CTS Coupe is due out in the fall of 2010.

McNaab said that Cadillac will redesign the STS early next decade and will offer a small car positioned below the CTS. He said that the move of offering more derivatives will help Cadillac “compete in a greater portion of the marketplace.”

Yeah... we would all like to see a lot of stuff from Cadillac....let's just hope GM can survive to show is all that... i wonder what company Ed Welburn will go to when GM goes down the hole

The problem is, a base CTS already costs less than a 335i (one of the reasons I actually think it doesn't sell as well as the 5 series, or at least as profitably).

If they design a car smaller than the CTS, its price will go down into the $20,000 range. Problem with that is that no executive wants an "affordable" executive car. The whole purpose of them buying an "executive" car is that they want something premium, not for the masses.

I would really like to see a caddy the size of a 335i with the price of a 135i.

Oh and rear wheel drive with a V-6 or I-4 please, none of this plug-in-hybrid sinergy drive BlueTec TDI ev bullsh*t that every one else has
