That's a legitimate question. I think if they are going to release one, it would be well after the Corvette is released. I'm trying to see how a mid-engine car would fit into the Cadillac product line. Cadillac has a history of failed two-seat cars. With the recent announcements of plant closures and layoffs, it doesn't seem like Cadillac would be given the green light for such a risky project.

Oh really? I, for one, WOULD! What's age got to do with wanting a Corvette? I've owned 14 Corvettes and 7 Caddys over the years and while I can't wait for the ME Corvette to start production, an ME Cadillac would be as cool as a ME Corvette, maybe even better.

I may be wrong but I 'm pretty sure a Caddy buyer is not a C7 buyer and vice versa that was all my point was, and still believe this view of car buyers.
Of course there are exceptions , people with more money buy more cars. Many folks like me can just buy one toy at a time.
Caddy over a new vette lol no way in hell.

Lots of guys on here with CTS and C6/C7 including this guy. At 75, I, along with some friends in the club, have both an XT5 and a C6ZR1. On top of that, I'm shopping for a new C7Z06.
Think you have the wrong impression somehow???

I would happily buy any CTS/ATS V car produced over the past few years. They look good, perform well and have been well received. I am not into the luxury cruisers, but there is no reason to bring them up. No one thinks of the 7 Series when they think of fun to drove BMWs.

I’ve owned two Cadillac XLR’s; one V before I was 50, and also before I bought a Corvette. Bought them because they were unique, didn’t see myself coming at me, like you do with a Corvette. Traded the V this spring for my Z06; first Corvette. Also own a CTS-V coupe, so I’ve own more Cadillacs than Corvettes and am probably younger than most Corvette owners, so I don’t think it’s an age thing.
