GM Delays 2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe

Production of the Cadillac CTS Coupe, which debuted as a well-received concept at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, has been postponed until next summer, according to GM spokeswoman Joanne Krell.

The CTS coupe was originally one of three vehicles scheduled to debut this summer, in a sort of Cadillac advent. The other two vehicles, which are still scheduled to go into production this year, are the 2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon and 2010 Cadillac SRX crossover.

"We made a few changes to the overall portfolio," Krell said. "Obviously we are in a challenging economic time, and one of the changes is to move the coupe back a year. Instead of coming out this summer, it will come out next summer."

The coupe was initially scheduled to make its production debut at the Los Angeles auto show last November, along with the redesigned 2010 Buick LaCrosse. Although the LaCrosse was delayed until the 2009 NAIAS, the CTS coupe failed to make an appearance in Detroit.

Krell said GM doesn't know if the CTS coupe will be a 2010 or 2011 model due to the delay.

Oh no, next we'll find out it'll have a b-pillar.

I thought that they cancelled it a little while back. At least it is only a delay...

Boo! I wanted one in May '10. Might end up with a Volt afterall then...

Well that's good. I thought it had been canceled outright.

Thank God! That car is ugly as sin. The rear needs to be reworked to look more like the converj concept and less like a stink bug.

I guess this makes sense...

Personally, I'd rather have the coupe than the wagon, but whatever.
