Cadillac version of the Volt hybrid in the works

We reported yesterday that GM is working on a small 4-cylinder Cadillac sedan for the U.S. by 2010. But that’s not the only ‘green’ model coming from Cadillac.

Commence the traditional GM re-badging. They gotta start re-couping all that R&D money spent on the Volt every way they can. We'll probably see a Saturn and Pontiac version of the Volt over the next few years also.

Interestingly, I think that the Cadillac badge doesn't look that bad on the Volt (esp. the concept).

And this might be a re-badged, but there are gonna be some obvious differences. This car is probably gonna be as good as simply sharing a good technology rather than pretending to be something.

GOOD JOB incorporating that technology, hopefully it will look sweet and aggressive and not like the POS looking prius and new honda hybrid.
