General Motors announced that Clay Dean will be the new global design director of Cadillac. Dean will be instrumental in the designs of several new Cadillac products planned over the next few years, including the highly anticipated sedan to be slotted below the CTS.
Dean, 46, joined GM in 1988 and has been design director for small and mid-sized cars since 2004. Dean has worked on three GM architectures and led designs of the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky roadsters, Chevrolet Cobalt small car, Chevrolet HHR wagon and the new Chevrolet Malibu sedan, according to Automotive News. Dean was also responsible for this year’s North American Car of the Year, the Saturn Aura.

If memory serves, the model below the CTS would be the Cimarron. Imagine how much of a joke a Cadillac rebadged Cavalier would be today. I might be wrong, it might be a rebadged Chevrolet Aveo. Who knows, If they made it in Mexico, they could call it the Cadillac Chacarrón.

Oh yes… a Cimarrron joke…. good lord man that was 20 xxxxing years ago. If you want to get real technical the CTS actually holds the Cimarrons slot right now. Besides, by 87-88 the Cimarron was a pretty nice car. Nicely appointed and drove nothing like a Cavalier. But I forgot, this is LLN… where people don’t actually have to drive cars to pass judgement on them. Why don’t you just go pop in your Madonna cassette and jack off to your Molly Ringwold VHS collection… idiot.

The new small Cadillac will be based on the new RWD Alpha platform that will also underpin the next generation G6. It will also replace the BLS in Europe and will likely carry on with that name.
GM appears to be serious about building fun RWD cars. It is not impossible for this car to be really good, especially in “V” form.

Molly ringwald was smoking hot. There was some slasher flick she did that really showed off her naboos.
Lutz supposedly keeps a picture of the old Cimarron in his office to remind himself ‘never again’. A car below the CTS will start bumping into Chevy and Pontiac territory; lets see how they pull it off…

I agree with Commodore. The 2008 CTS is amazing inside and out. Whoever was responsible for that should be head designer.
