Just read news report that Cadillac president said it was misreported that the CT6 was going away. The plant where it is built is going away. They could either import the CT6 from China or find another location to build it.
Could Bowling Green become the new home of the CT6 with it being built along side the C8? Would think that there is room there for the dual production.
Yes should have ample capability since the ME wont be producing much.
Please do...show Cadillac who is who,
We are so fortunate to have you around here.
You simply can’t get enough people to complain these days.
I have had it with you. I don't see the rese as well but it I'd have a lot to do to the unveiling and I don't see how to find a way too many people agree to say fiberglass is the Zora Stingray reveal the same chassis that you can't.
Doubt it. The BG plant is going to be used for the FE C8, the ME Zora, and a Cadillac FE GT car based on either the C7 or C8 platform. @ryryokeefe Did this overlay of the patent images of the Cadillac coupe over a C7.
If this Cadillac coupe does happen, it would be very unlikely that it gets it's own platform, and judging by how well it lines up with the C7...
This is just further proof of the 2 car (ME and FE Corvettes) theory.

I also think it's poor form to provide false info as you do above. There is no credible evidence to date to support a dual FE and ME theory.
Of course, if the ME is a flop, it's always possible for an FE Corvette platform to re-emerge some day.
I see again why Cadillac is having trouble selling cars. The car looks great, but the idiots who designed the website think cars should only be viewed from the front.

You must work on your reading comprehension. This is inexcusable. I clearly stated it was speculation, not fact.
the Zora and C8 are the only ones who have a lot to say to you but you don't know how t working in a bunch if I do it right away and then I have a lot.
Doubt it. The BG plant IS GOING [my emphasis added] to be used for the FE C8, the ME Zora, and a Cadillac FE GT car based on either the C7 or C8 platform

You need to work on your command of the English language. Saying something IS GOING to happen is no longer speculation, it's an undocumented assertion. You might try something like, "I think it might," or something to that effect next time.

Well, I like to think I am doing quite well for a native Spanosh speaker that started learning English 1 year and 3 months ago.
That's commendable, and your English is coming along nicely in such a short period of time..
However, you should express your theories in terms of hypothetical scenarios, not documented facts, which you did above. One of the bizarre features of the C8 section here is that completely undocumented assertions are continually repeated by other readers as if they are confirmed truths. They aren't.
Having said that, I'm quite sure I'd botch any message I'd try to communicate in my now very rusty Spanish.

Now that's a bizarre post just above. I don't know what point you were trying to make, but I suppose it is true that more women than men seem to be able to conduct a civil conversation without resorting to flame-throwing, which we were ultimately able to have. He understood my point, and we amicably ended the conversation.
I was at the Detroit Auto show on Saturday and they had a CT6 V Blackwing proto type there. No pricing and the car was locked up. 550 HP & 627 lbs ft. of torque, all wheel drive, 10 speed auto and 4 wheel steering. A luxury performance car for all seasons and is sold out!

That's an intriguing proposition for die hard FE guys... and gals. But a Caddy will be more comfort than track-capable performance (especially a GT). It's funny to pull up to a Merc SL at a light with a dude posing like he's a street-predator. You see everything in L.A.....
SOmeone told me, when I was in Detroit working for our parent company GM, that Cadillac was just a marketing dept. and not a car company. At the time, GM was using the same platform accross multiple brands (Caddy cimmaron anyone?)

IMO... There is a fair chance of a Cadilllac version of the C8. Not because of a leaked key fob or past Caddy attempts at a two seater, but more likely because the new President of GM is a huge Cadillac supporter, because the Caddy Blackwing motor is being built at Bowling Green, and although I haven’t seen any recent reports, the demographics of the AVERAGE Corvette and Cadillac buyers has not all that different over the past 5-6 years.
Caddy has been doing some really cool things of late, from cool looking cars and crossovers in an array of sizes, to the V models and the Blackwing. If GM does throw a Caddy on the C8 assembly line, they could offer both a Corvette sports car and a Caddy GT car, maybe concentrate on the appropriate function, trim, and options for each niche. By sharing the platform, they might not dilute the market for either brand and might in fact increase overall production after the sagging sales of the C7. Hopefully it would attract both younger Corvette owners and simply more Caddy buyers.
Wonder why this got moved from the C8 section to the Other Cars section. It was about the C8 and Bowling Green and excess capacity in BGA. To me that is C8 related.
