We already have an exclusive Cadillac engine — the Cadillac Twin Turbo V-6. We are currently developing a new powertrain lineup, which will include a very sophisticated and advanced twin-turbo V-8, as you describe. In other displacement sizes, where it is not feasible to develop a unique Cadillac engine, there will be…

Cadillac is first and foremost a producer of high-quality, advanced-technology automobiles. The Cadillac name is so synonymous with excellence, that it has become a metaphor to express the highest possible standard, regardless of product category. We wish to further reinforce this notion, particularly when it comes to…

Cadillac is expanding rapidly in China, which is now the world's largest luxury car market. We expect to attain over 200,000 units in that market well before the end of this decade. We will focus on the European market only once we have right-hand drive models and diesel powertrains. This will not happen until the new…

No, you can't have them back. I play with them each night in my bath.

Sub-ATS will be rear-wheel drive. In the future, all Cadillac four-cylinder engines will be turbocharged.

Yes, I'm actually answering questions.

Your sentiments are noted. I think the current cars are the best cars Cadillac has ever produced, but it doesn't mean we don't set the bar even higher for future models. The development team is hard at work at addressing many of the issues you refer to. I am very comfortable in the knowledge that the future is full of…

We will have four-cylinder and six-cylinder diesel engines, but not before 2019.

Cadillac is an iconic American luxury brand. America = optimism. Bold = expressive symbol of arrival. Sophisticated = artistic integration of technology.

You nailed it. How am I supposed to answer questions if you are going to answer them.

I hadn't considered that, but now that you've mentioned it, it's food for thought.

I don't like the air quality in California.

We are carefully planning the life cycle of CT6, and this must include some high-power derivatives as well. The lightweight body structure allows us to achieve formidable performance even with a twin-turbo V-6. Imagine how this car would perform with a twin-turbo V-8. Have patience, grasshopper.

I think in the fullness of time, we will get around to developing a high-performance, very-emotive sports car as a halo for the Cadillac brand. But we have so many projects to occupy us through 2020 that this will have to wait a little while.

To start with, if the car is based on Cadillac's Alpha architecture — which it will be — then it can hardly be a Chevrolet Code 130R. I don't know about the tuxedo, but I was thinking a black cocktail dress might be appealing.

Depends what you want to use it for.

With our large dealer body we fragment available sales, and so dilute the profit opportunity per dealer. This, over time, has contributed to under-investment into facilities and people, which, ultimately, impacts the customer experience. One of our challenges is that we have a high degree of variability across the…

Been there, done that. Read the book and bought the t-shirt.

I see Detroit as experiencing a massive resurgence. Until recently, I actually lived downtown and loved every moment of it. We believe in Detroit, that's why we recently announced a new investment of $300 million in our Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant, securing over 1600 jobs. Cadillac has its roots in Detroit, and…

ATS — I agree, it's a great car. One challenge is we launched into a market segment where we have no existing customer base. Every sale has to be a conquest sale, and this takes time.
