After President Obama put GM on a much needed diet -shedding itself of brands it didn’t need, he also stipulated that they do something about their gas guzzling line up or else government money would disappear quicker than Jessica Simpson’s sex appeal.
So the restructuring process began. For Cadillac, the new SRX is now Saturn Vue sized, the DTS and STS are going to be axed in favour of a single model and a new entry level Caddy is expected to be introduced to comepete against the likes of BMW et al.

Here is the first glimpse of the replacement for the aging Arnage – the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne. The new car revives the name that has been dormant since 1992 and is derived from the Mulsanne Straight on the Circuit de la Sarthe of 24 hours of Le Mans fame. The Mulsanne, or the Grand Bentley [...]

That’s all fine and good, but the real exciting news is actually from GM’s most interesting brand of late: Cadillac.
