Perhaps too little too late. GM needs to engineer each model very carefully especially on public money. I heard the new SRX crossover looks good, has excellent interiors but is an iron mountain to move, sluggish and handling going haywire... Original SRX was a great handler, how could they mess that up.

That RWD Cadillac ATS-3Series fighter it will be quite an waiting worthy car, how about the XTS? WCF guys, you have seen the concept, how about a little more details.

The CTS sells so well because it's a chopped version of the huge STS (and indeed high quality), so it will be interesting to see what a small platform Cadillac would be like. I'm presuming it will use the delta II platform version of the Chevy Cruze. Does anyone else think they screwed up the new SRX (too tiny and not enough style)?
I'm scurrrd.

They already sell this vehicle in Europe, its called the BLS and its a base model below the CTS

Well, your close, but that BLS is FWD and it's based on the SAAB 9-3, while the ATS will be a whole new car and it will be RWD, thank God for that.

a rebadged daewoo! That's what completely kills me about GM. Mention above, "Buick brand is coming out with a new LaCrosse which is said to be a completely-redesigned luxury sedan with "advanced, intelligent personal technologies and safety. See, the new LaCrosse isn't new it. Its a slightly tweaked Opel Insignia. Also, the "New SRX" It's just nicer and more improved Saturn Vue, aka Opel Antara. I'm constantly getting in and out of vehicles especially GM cars. I work GM dealership in the U.S. and I see it everyday. A decent amount of their cars/trucks/suv's are all the same, just with different badge them. I hope everything works out and goes to plan for GM, I really do. The only thing I can say is whatever GM has done with there business in the past with operating/engineeing/designing/ or whatever. Has put them far behind others in the race.

No it will be a new car, not the BLS. It will be a rear wheel drive car on a totally new platform. They proved with the CTS that their not stupid when it comes to competing with the likes of BMW and Lexus. Just look at the CTS-v. Can't wait until the ATS-v kicks the M3 all around a track like the CTS-v did to the M5

They haven't really changed as a company. Stop thinking that more cars is better. Make fewer cars and just make them better. They just keep pumping out new cars that are just as sh*tty as the ones before. If you spend the time and make a good car it will sell.

Well, when DTS and STS get killed and they are replaced with only ONE model(XTS) you have fewer cars, however they can't rely only on the CTS to bring them sales, they need 2 or 3 sedans to be the backbone of future sales in their pursuit to offer better cars and to steal some costumers from the germans and the japanese. It's not really a big deal, let's compare it with the BMW lineup and we will have 3 Serries - ATS, 5 Series - CTS, 7 Series - XTS, SRX - X3, next gen smaller Escalade - X5. Hopefully Cadillac won't make abominations like the X6 or the 5 Series GT. Now I'm not saying that Cadillac is better then the BMW or BMW then Cadillac, I was just comparing the look of the future Cadillac lineup with the BMW one.

25 models in 2 years, well if they can atleast have one decent one out of the bunch then ill be impressed because so far many GM cars are rubbish. but! some are good lets hope some of thoes 25 are capable of meeting the grain.

It's all about the execution of the product, which has been GM's biggest pit fall in the US. This is a good road map but it will all depend on how well they carry out the plan. Wait and see.
