Perhaps GM needs to focus more on some light RWD cars. Could a Zeta Buick and/or Zeta Caddy be made light enough with good dynamics for the weekend racer to slap some aftermarket tires and brakes on 'er to have some fun at the track? Maybe the Kappa or NG Kappa is this platform.
All I know is I would like to see more GM cars represented at the track, able to go head to head with BMW and Mazda. BMW and Mazda are represented at the track like a swarm of gnats around your head on a warm summer evening.

If I could afford a RWD Cadillac, I'd take it out for a run once in a while, indeed, if they build the Zeta car, and I can afford it, it too will hit the track, for the shock value if nothing else.
If they don't choose to build this, perhaps they have realized that they've been aiming far too low with Cadillac for decades, and cannot attract the sort of people who always have money. When they were selling 400K a year, did the idea cross no one's mind that at that volume, they're no long really in the business of selling luxury cars? Did not one of them look at Packard's mistakes and learn a damned thing?
