I'm not gonna care what this thing looks like, I wouldn't buy it over a 128i/135i or 328i/335i. I don't want another Cimarron I lost interest after I read front wheel drive, if cadillac wants to compete with its german rivals is should be RWD.

Acura as well w/ the TSX & TL. I think even the Infiniti I35 sold well ... so this may be a safe move. Not every car in a luxury lineup has to be sport/performance oriented ... they could use a nice sedate ride especially when you consider how well the before mentioned cars sell.

Front wheel drive is for small cars and non-luxury cars.

Cadillac spent years moving front drive platforms out and rear wheel drive platforms in. Now they are going to go the other way and give up the luxury car credibility it had regained.

Well, I guess I really don't care anyway as I am not likely to become a Cadillac buyer.
