Id rock it, if Caddy produced it. And good job with the Volt powertrain. Even though its still a Concept (an idea), its nice to know that a luxury car company has plans to put its most advanced technologies in its vehicles (jab at the tepid at best HS250 
).

Yeah, but the main reason would be the development costs in a time where GM is out of money. Especially for what would be a low volume car.
Unfortunately, we're going to start seeing less model choices as automakers struggle with profits (even Toyota!) which will force them to produce mostly high volume vehicles with few "niche" specialty cars.

They could have just asked Toyota if it were possible for the cost, lol. If it was, Toyota would've done it first.

looks awesome, they conned me with the Volt concept though. I expect this Caddy to wind up looking like a Kia. Too bad cause both the Volt and this concept would have made me a believer, now? Nah, I'll stay with Toyota's Hybrids.

GM would be stupid not to build this car, with or with a hybrid engine....oh wait...Wagoner and Lutz are at the wheel.
A agree with the previous poster that the proportions and stance heavy Gallardo influence, which is a very good thing. This Cadillac will certainly bring a lot more folks into the fold if it ever hits the dealerships.
