Teaming up with Italy’s VM Motori, the car is expected to have a 3.0 liter V6 diesel engine that will produce up tp 245 horsepower.

“We expect at least 50 percent of CTS sales to be diesels,” said Dick Braakhekke, Cadillac Europe spokesman.

watch caddy's sales double. instantly. people who buy this sort of car use them as company cars, and company car tax is based on CO2 emissions, which diesels emit less of.
