Autoweek.com got a chance to interview GM’s Bob Lutz at the Paris Motorshow.
Of interest to Cadillac fans is the following:
AW: A super-luxury car – is GM ever going to get that?
Lutz: It’s still a wonderful dream, like the Cadillac Sixteen. Frankly, given the reality of fuel prices, I would say that the priorities have shifted somewhat.
So, it looks like it might be some time before an ultra high-end Cadillac will see the light of day.
Our guess is this has less to do with fuel economy sensitivity in the ultra-luxury market, but that GM now has to redirect resources to get smaller cars done and on the market and that is pulling money away from the high-end Cadillac project.

The good folks over at The Car Connection have spied a disguised 2009 CTS-V in testing.
Look close and you’ll notice the more agressive wheels/tires, bigger exhaust tips, and a modified hood.
The photog even claims to have plainly heard a supercharger whine coming from this car as it rocketed past.
Rumors are all over the map with regard to possible powertrain options – some expect a hopped-up Northstar V-8 (some even claiming no supercharging)...on the other end of the spectrum are folks expecting the same supercharged smallblock that should debut soon in an even higher performance Corvette model above the Z06 and putting out over 600hp. Time will tell.
