Alpha based Cadillac headed our way!!

If the reports are true then Cadillac may finally have a nice small entry level RWD sedan. I for one am in favor of both a turbo I4 and a DI V6 powertrain option. This would be a great entry level Cadillac and if the interior is done right - would not dilute the brand image. Now that gas mileage is so important I think a car like this would work.

And for those that might even think of bringing up the Cimaron disaster...this is not it. This is entirely different than bringing out a Cadillac branded Cruze. If done right on a sophisticated compact RWD chasis - I could see this being one of Cadillac's big sellers. This could go up against the BMW 1 and 3 series.

My wife's current ride - 2004 Mazda6s - V6 with a five speed manual. Back in the fall of 2004 GM forced me to the competition because they didn't offer a midsize sedan with a V6 and manual transmission.
