The big announcement out of the Detroit headquarters ( soon to be NYC ) of Cadillac is that it is naming it's flagship model, which is due out in 2015, the CT6. Not to be negative about the great brand of automobile, but they could have come up with something better. This is a disappointment for us at Auto Reports USA.
There are a few names that come to mind that could have done the job enabling Cadillac to pull from it's iconic past:
Fleetwood
Brougham
DeVille
Seville
Phaeton
This is to be the flagship model. You do not hear of a Rolls Royce, or a Bentley with names such as CT6, so why should Cadillac? The new Cadillac chief Johan de Nyssche, who is previously from Audi and Infiniti must know a thing or two about the auto industry, but his approval of naming the big Caddy CT6, is questionable.
Lets hope Cadillac consider a better name for the rear wheel drive flagship and that it can give the S class, A8, 7 series and Bentley a run for it's money and at least looks like the gorgeous El Miraj concept.
