    All good news except for the 2014 arrival date; I was hoping for 2012 as a 2013 model.\u00a0 Love that Cadillac recognizes they need to get some weight out, and bring a bit more power to the sport sedan mix.\u00a0 Putting the CTS on Alpha makes a lot of sense if it is flexible enough to support the range of wheelbases needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
