Shane&VanessaUK Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Cadillac is being relaunched in the UK for the fourth time in a dozen years, on a limited scale with just one dealer and a few service points. But some models will be available with right-hand drive. The models adapted for driving on the right will be the CTS and the CTS Sport Wagon. But the CTS-V saloon and all variants of the coupé will be available in left-hand drive only. Read Autocar's first drive of the new Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Plans to build right-hand-drive examples of even the regular coupé were abandoned when GM went bankrupt, along with a diesel version. Besides the CTS range (prices for which start at £40,897), Cadillac is also offering the 3.0 V6 SRX SUV from £45,707 and the huge Escalade SUV, including the £71,489 hybrid. GM hopes to sell around 2500 Cadillacs across Europe through 40 dealers, according to Caddy boss Wolfgang Schubert. But he declined to estimate how many would be in the UK. The range will be available from GM US specialist Bauer Millett in Manchester; a London premises is planned, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I returned a week ago from a 2 week tour all over the UK. I watched closely everywhere I went and never saw a single Cadillac. When I was in London in 2007, I saw a showroom with a couple of Escalades. I REALLY want to import a Cadillac BLS turbo diesel. (LHD of course, maybe from Germany) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane&VanessaUK Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The BLS is little more than seriously restyled Saab 9-3 (an already aging model back in 2006).. and that was derived from the Vauxhall Vectra... two common and boring cars reps use (travelling salesman) in europe. Shocking thing is, we could sell our 2001 65,000 miles STS and actually get a 2007/2008 BLS I must say I like the look of the BLS Station wagon though, but don't think I'll ever buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
