Recently I posted a Cadillac Converj Catchup<\/a> article for those of you not keeping up with developments.\u00a0 Also, you can check the index for any articles that address Converj here<\/a>.\u00a0 The Converj will use a similar Voltec powertrain, (formerly knows as E-flex), and base chassis as the upcoming Chevrolet Volt, but will be specified, built, and tuned for Luxury Performance as a Cadillac.<\/p>\n

We know that the Converj will look like this on the outside:<\/p>\n

And it should be noted that this design has proven very popular as a path for Cadillac, so we may see the same design influences on other models.<\/p>\n

But what about underneath the skin? Here is the Voltec Powertrain that is being pioneered on the Chevrolet Volt and will be featured in a tuned, Luxury Performance variant in the upcoming Cadillac Converj:<\/p>\n

So is the Converj just a Cadillac version of the Volt? Yes and no.<\/p>\n
