Report: Cadillac to bring BRX, BLS to U.S.

Cadillac is considering adding a small crossover to its U.S. lineup in an effort to gain a foothold in the lower end of the luxury segment. Company General Manager Jim Taylor told Edmunds GM division was considering bringing the forthcoming BRX crossover to America. The BRX has been rumored since last year, but was previously expected to be sold in Europe only. The car would be offered with four-cylinder engines, which Taylor says shouldn't be a problem to consumers, since they "don't count cylinders." Cadillac also plans to sell its Europe-only BLS sedan in America, according to supplier sources cited by Edmunds. Taylor would not confirm the rumors, but sources say the vehicle will be updated for the 2009 model year, and then imported to America. Lastly, Taylor said there were no immediate plans for an S-Class or 7-Series competitor, but such a vehicle is a "necessity," and would arrive eventually.
