凱迪拉克：前景光明的旗艦

????通用汽車（General Motors）旗下的高端品牌凱迪拉克（Cadillac）近來發(fā)出了一些自相矛盾的信號。先是聽說凱迪拉克不會推出一輛基于四門敞篷概念車Ciel的量產(chǎn)轎車。因?yàn)檫@樣一輛轎車的售價(jià)將達(dá)到10萬美元左右，在經(jīng)濟(jì)上是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。后來又有消息傳出，稱凱迪拉克仍在研發(fā)一款頂級四門轎車，以對抗德系和日系高端轎車。今年七月，通用總裁兼CEO丹?阿克森在接受《今日美國》（USA Today）采訪時也確認(rèn)了它的存在。這款車型可能是基于2014款凱迪拉克CTS（上圖）打造的，可提供全輪驅(qū)動。它的定位可能高于凱迪拉克目前的旗艦車型XTS，預(yù)計(jì)將在2016年末上市。

Cadillac: Promising flagship

????The aspiration brand from General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) has been sending out conflicting signals. First came word that Cadillac would not be putting out a flagship based on the Ciel, a drop-top four-door show car. At some $100,000 a copy, the proposed vehicle was deemed economically unfeasible. But then came reports that Cadillac is still developing a top-of-the line four-door to put up against the Germans and Japanese. Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson confirmed its existence in an interview with USA Today in July. The car will be based on the 2014 Cadillac CTS (above), be available in an all-wheel drive configuration, and will be positioned above Cadillac's current flagship, the XTS. Look for it in late 2016.
