GM planning to launch Cadiallac CTS in India!!

Hi friends!!
General Motors India (GMI) is gearing up to launch Cadillac range of luxury cars in India. The US carmaker has, however, put off its plans to introduce Hummer in the country and are now vying for the luxury space.

“The company was planning to launch SUV Hummer earlier but its entry now seems distant as consumer sentiment has changed. So, we have zeroed in on the Cadillac CTS sedan, which was showcased in the Auto Expo last year,” GMI president and MD Karl Slym said.</BLOCKQUOTE>

The Cadillac CTS would compete with Mercedez Benz, Audi and BMW which together sell 6,000 cars in the country annually. The Cadillac CTS that was showcased in India came with a 3.6-litre direct-injection V-6 VVT engine delivering 311 bhp of power. The partly handcrafted car had large 18-inch wheels and was expected to cost the consumer Rs. 50-60 lac.
GMI has already announced the launch of Cruze sedan around June-July , which will compete with Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Sonata in the premium car segment. It will also launch a small car that will complement Spark in the compact segment. :)

Its really good that Cadillac is hitting INDIA.

But dont you guys think that 50Lakh is too high when compared to Benz, Volvo, VW or Nissan

It looks good and seems like a great car. But as zinam said, doesn't it seem expensive, 50-60 lac INR.

the car is handsome but cadillac is an unknown name in india unlike BMW & merc. how many volvo XC90 or volkswagen toureg or audi A6 do you see on the road?

yes raj very true, nice car to arrive but along with is the sad news that no official launch of Hummer as for now..
