Cadillac and Corvette back in the UK
By Stéphane Schlesinger on 14 October 2005 | (1) Comments | Permalink
After a failed attempt between 1998 and 2003 (only 3,000 cars sold), Cadillac and Corvette are being relaunched in the UK. This time, Cadillac's range seems more competitive, including the Sweden-built executive sedan BLS, the luxury saloon CTS and the huge SRX, an enormous SUV. Even if those brands are still part of GM, they will be commercialised by an independant importer, the Dutch run Kroymans group.
They assume they number of dealers will amount to 20 by the end of 2008, which should allow to sell 7,000 cars over this period.
Prices will start at £20,000 for the BLS (available with an excellent diesel engine designed by Fiat), £24,850 for the 2.8 V6 CTS and £ 29,850 for the 3.6 V6 SRX.
As for the Corvette, it's been separated from Chevrolet and form an independant brand within the GM galaxy. The 186mph 400bhp C6 coupe is priced at £45,850 and the convertible at £51,850.
Fortunately, this time, these cars will come with a right-hand drive (excepted the SRX before 12 months and the Corvette) even if the BLS is not expected before May 2006. Then we'll see if the it can actually take BMW's remarkable 3-Series.

Corvette Blue Devil to take on Viper?
By Stéphane Schlesinger on 30 June 2005 | (1) Comments | Permalink
Even if the Z06 already delivers 507bhp, Chevrolet is still seeking to increase the power of the Corvette. Even if the company still has not acknowledged it, a 600bhp supercharged Corvette nicknamed “blue devil” is to be released at a price that might reach $100,000, but not before 2007. This Corvette, whose body may be partly made of carbon fiber, was caught on test on the Nürburgring track. According to Autoweek, GM vice chairman Bob Lutz confirmed there would be “something beyond the Z06”. Keeping up with its tradition, the Corvette might outpower such prestigious European supercars as the Aston DB9 or Ferrari 612 at half their price or so.
