Cadillac will have another car by 2011! FANTASTIC... take a look at the calender... its 2008, A division with "one car" for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010... nice... They should recycle Pontiac's slogan.. "Cadillac is car" too... We could run with that until 2011 when we change it to "Cadillac is two cars"

5. Not true yet again, where do you get these numbers? Read into some of the posts on this website, one person mentioned a date and it was a good one.
They will have several new models by 2011. Of which a few are in the next few months.

The decision on the future of the STS has yet to be made. The DTS will continue on and will get a V6 and 6 speed transmission shortly. The decision on if/when to axe the STS will be made once they figure out which direction to move on for a replacement. It had been scheduled to die after the 2010 model year.
The Zeta II DT7 is indeed "on hold". However, the likelihood of it being restarted is slim to none. It was conceived to be a large, RWD/AWD sedan with Ultra-V8 and V6 Twin-turbo power. The engines have been cancelled and with $4 gas and GM's financial issues being major concerns, the chances of getting a new big sedan like the DT7 are near nil. The styling of the car also was not met with universal praise, especially for the front end. As of now, the DT7 project teams have been reassigned (not "fired") and several proposals are being looked at for the future. This is CLEARLY a "back to the drawing board" decision. There will be NO NEW LARGE CADILLAC SEDAN before at least the 2014 model year.
Yes, they will have new "models" by 2011. A CTS coupe and wagon are on the way, as is the SRX replacement. The as yet unnamed "Alpha" sedan is due as a late 2012 or 2013 model year car, but there is some movement to speed this up.
