GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - German Tuner/Builder 'Bitter' To Sell Modified Holden Statesman

I think the market for a Statesman would be weak, the Bitter will do well as a niche car, but Cadillac is probably suited better with the CTS being slightly smaller than the Commodore and a lot more appropriate for the confines of European cities (even that's a stretch). I think there is a big jump in socio economic levels between a prestige compact to a large car. CTS would def. be more suited. Incidentally, anyone know how well (or if) the BLS is selling?
