Thumbs down The first electric Caddy?

Seems GM still has their heads up their rectums...

You get billions to help you retool - what to you build - electric versions of your most expensive vehicles you sell...

Have to admit it's stylish - but a stoopid business ploy, but I could be wrong...

My guess is they can't sell the chevy volt in the 25-30k price range as originally intended. So they put the same tech in this car, so the the cadi name can justify the price. Will it sell? Maybe, but the time this concept becomes reality it may be too late.

I think its a damn sexy Cadillac. Probably the only Cadillac I would ever keep if someone gave it to me lol. Also they may have the right market for electric cars. What they really need to do is release a $5000 good fuel economy low option car. It would sell fast and in fairly large quantities. And is what people need in the current economy

Car disappears and leaves flaming tire tracks. And you end up lost and confused.

I think Caddys look hideous.They all look the same.They need something different as a design theme
