I'm losing count of the Kappa spin-offs :wink

Pontiac, Saturn, Chevy, Vauxhall (UK) and they they are talking Caddy and Buick too?

Here's the latest in the saga of "as the Kappa world turns" :wink

Nomad & Vauxhall not approved yet...

Curve is approved but no one seems to know what it looks like other than it's not the concept car (some reports have it a convertible others are vague)...

I don't think a Cadillac sedan off of Kappa would be a good idea - Cadillac definitely should stay up market, and not make the mistake of chasing too far down the totem poll like M-B has done w/ their C-Class Hatch, or BMW is doing with the coming 1-series.

But, a Cadillac roadster, priced in the $35-42k or so range off of Kappa could be pretty cool. They could use the extra $ to of course beef up the engine, perhaps add something like magnetic suspension, improve comfort and ride quality, and offer a world-class interior. Assuming it drove as well as a Z4, they could easily sell a lot of them if the styling was right.
