Europe is known for its lavish luxury cars; Bentley, Mercedes, BMW, and Cadillac? This may just be the case with the establishment of Cadillac Europe. The design of the entity is to market and distribute a few select models from the Cadillac lineup to European customers.Cadillac it making its first European splash with previewing the Cadillac CTS at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The CTS is slated to arrive in Europe later this fall.
Also being presented at the Geneva Motor Show are the CTS Sport Wagon, CTS Sprot Sedan, and the CTS-V. Cadillac is also introducing a mid size luxury crossover called the SRX for the 2011 model year. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is also jumping ship, also being previewed at the motor show.
Does Mercedes, BMW, and Bentley have a new competitor in their neighborhood? By the looks of the Cadillac CTS-V and CTS-V Coupe, I would say they may have a hard time keeping the 556 horsepower, supercharged 6.2L V8 engine under control.
