Does anyone know where GM builds the Cadillac cars.

MidLifeinMI

I know several of them are built at the Lansing (MI) Grand River plant. The last time I was in that plant, they did the CTS, SRX and STS there. Since that time they've discontinued the STS, and a quick check says that its spot has been replaced by the ATS. I'm not sure where the Escalade is produced, or if the SRX is still built there.

The Escalade it produced at the GMT900 plant in Texas.

Thanx for you reply. I was looking for a new car for my wife. With all of the union bs going on up there with the right to work stuff, I don't want to buy a car built up there but still want something made in the Great USA>

I have the utmost respect for that.

The SRX is based on the Chevrolet Quinox/GMC Terrain frame, which I believe are built in both Canada and America, but will eventually be built only in the America.

Why Whats wrong with a Car Built by people in Michigan who are Just trying to Protect there Jobs. If you were in there shoes about to loose your long term job,you would fight to save it too. The problem isnt the cars, its loosing jobs to overseas manufactuing [China,Etc] Some of the Best Built cars in the World come from The Great State of Michigan. Please reconsider.

Interestingly enough, the two GM plants in Lansing (Grand River and Delta Twp) have some of the highest quality ratings in the world (not just for the US, not just for American marques). Both of those plants are very modern and tend to involve the line workers (yes, UAW) in the quality and decision-making processes. As a result, my experience is that the workers in these plants take more pride and ownership in the product they build than the stereotypical UAW worker. It's definitely not that way in all UAW plants, but these two are good examples of what can be.

I just wanted to know where they were built, don't want to turn this thread into a Political Thread because it is in the wrong forum for that. It's just I watched those union members (probably hired thugs) hit and assult innocent people just asking questions(news media). I lived in NJ for a long time and was a union member for a long time and want no part of this criminal activity nor the people doing it. I live in NC now a "Right to work" state. Everyone should have the Choice!

Mods Please move this post for me as it looks like it is going to get ugly, maybe to the Political forum. Thank You.

Im Sorry if I gave ya the Wrong impression. Im just paasionate about US Jobs. Anyway The Caddy is a great Choice and I applaud your Choice. I was a union worker for 30 years. Near the end of my Career my union left a bad taste in me .... They ordered me to abandon my Company vehicle [city Bus] I had to remind them it wasnt there Vehicle to Ditch. was a nasty Strike in 2005. Then our union officials {Who implored us to Buy American] were leasing Forign made cars for their "jobs" such as Lexus & Mercedes... With our union Dues. Anyway, from one Jersey guy to Another.. YO! FUGETABOUT IT!!!

assaulting people is going a bit too far. hoods and thugs, just my opinion and it's my money to spend where I please.

You are correct; many people make their buying decisions on different criteria. While doing your research, take a look back in time to the Ford thugs and their physical assaults on members of the then-new UAW (I know it's old history, but it may be appropriate for background). Not saying either is right here; I'm likely done with GM as well for various reasons (disclaimer: I did own an '08 CTS for a while and really liked that car).
