You want a 2 door coupe Vette or Camaro

You want a 4 door sport sedan Cadillac has it.

Seen a nice Black CT5 V yesterday it looked sharp I bet the price was too
I realize that it won't happen. Its very obvious, as even the current lines you mentioned are having their own problems surviving in the market.

I was just saying that it could have been different if the handling of the G8 was more successful 13 years ago. We could have carved an additional spot for an attractive sedan that doesn't necessarily require you to spend a fortune on it. Now, anything that has a lot of content will cost you. A v8 Camaro, or a Corvette costs a good coin. You do get your money's worth out of them, however; But they are still expensive. The problem is that if they continue to not sell we will lose even the few players that we have left that have any sense of content and desire. Forbid it that the automotive market will become a market solely of crossovers and hybrids, but it certainly looks like it is headed in that direction.
