I'll get worried if and when GM gives Caddy a FWD car smaller than (or the same size as) the CTS (in the states.) Those cars need the sporting cred, and more importantly the differentiation from Buick and Chevy. But mommy-crossovers and enormous sedans are not mission-critically RWD.

Apparently FWD and big luxury don't mix. Have you ever seen an FWD luxury car be successful in it's class, especially at the pricepoint that it's slated to be in ($50K)? While its obvious that the car won't get any sporty, will it have the tech to sell? Will the car be well received? Either way, I'd highly doubt that the car will even be anywhere near as good as the Park Avenue.
