Wait a second. Somehow I have trouble imagining that they could build a $60,000-70,000 car in such small numbers and make it economically feasible. No way.

Look at BMW: world prodution of 7's is 30,000 to 40,000 units annually. Mercedes S is over 100,000 units.

Cadillac's going to compete with them, charge less, and build only 5,000 units a year?

Sorry, that just doesn't add up.

(Though, now I"m having an intersting thought here: they are going to do 20,000 units of the Pontiac Solstice and sell 'em for a mere $20,000 a pop. They're actually doing that. Has GM managed to repeal some fundamental law of automotive economics?)
