Cadillac gets serious: CTS coupe and wagon coming-and an Audi A3-fighter for Europe

Cadillac thinks it has a winner on its hands with the new CTS and wants to expand the CTS franchise with coupe and wagon variants. The strategy is similar to that employed by Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, which all build coupe and wagon variants of their entry-level sedans. The move will make the CTS more appealing to a broader range of buyers, particularly in Europe.
So where does that leave the Europe-only Cadillac BLS? Built on the versatile Epsilon architecture, the front-drive BLS lacks the sporty handling and powertrains it needs to be Caddy's BMW 3 Series fighter in Europe. (The CTS is perceived as closer to a 5 Series and E-Class in size.) But a Europe-only rear-drive Caddy smaller than CTS isn't likely to sell in the numbers necessary to justify the new platform it needs.
Instead, GM insiders are mulling switching the replacement for the BLS to the smaller front-drive platform used for theOpel/Vauxhall/Saturn Astra. The Astra offers the powertrains and suspension tuning to position this new Caddy as a sporty entry-level model to sell against Audi's A3, BMW's 1 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz B-Class
