The part of this that really bothers me is that GM does make good large cars, just not for this market. How much would it really cost to Federalize the HSV Grange or Senator (with Cadillac DNA of course) for sale in the US as the DTS/STS replacement. Make it and the G8 alongside the Camaro. You dont need huge volumes on these cars. This move would still give Caddy relavancy on the world stage.

All of us agree GM should put a lot of effort into making itself profitable from small and mid size efficient cars but there are always going to be those that want a large luxury/performance car. The G8 is a solid entry into the mid/large sports sedan market for everyman. But if you want exclusivity, design and technology excellence, the flagship brand (Cadillac) needs to have something to compete with the best of the world. Until Caddy has the A8, S-Class, 7-Series, LS competitor, all it has is the CTS. (The Escalade is nice but needs work and a diet, and dont get me started on the STS.)
