Critics could say, "You don't need government loans if you're producing luxury, low mpg niche cars for the wealthy." or some variation of that.
But, after getting the loans, it could be GM, seeking to return to its heritage, an American success story, coming back from the dead.... ad nauseum. Politics dictate no DTS until after the loan guarantees.

You're probably right as far as announcements are concerned. But the Zeta II DT7 is likely a goner, cash infusion or not. After the drivetrain programs got axed and the design was deemed unacceptable, even the most die-hard Cadillac guys felt that the car wasnt worth resuscitating. When the cash spigot gets turned back on, look for a new platform that is smaller and lighter than the Zeta II - but not before 2014. What will be left of Cadillac's "big sedan" business by then is anybody's guess.
