Bruce Nunnally Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 DETROIT - General Motors has approved production of the stunning Cadillac Converj, its extended-range electric-powered coupe based on the Chevrolet Volt's Voltec architecture, a well-placed source says. GM brass wants the car on the road by 2011, making it a 2012 model. This is all contingent on improved finances for GM, of course, which means it's contingent on the government's reaction to the next version of the automaker's viability plan due June 1. It doesn't hurt that the Obama administration has called for automakers to bring more fuel-efficient cars and trucks to market. A production Converj is potentially profitable and would improve Cadillac's green image at the same time.

Bruce Nunnally Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 "There is no change to the status of Converj," said Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell on Wednesday. "It is a concept — a proposal — and it's being reviewed, and the review is not completed." He said he had no timetable for completion of the Converj review. Caldwell emphasized that "Cadillac disputes the report" in Motor Trend. The Converj is not expected to be at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, he said.
