CTS to get diesel engine for Europe
January 22, 2007 - 8:30 am
In Europe, the majority (58-70%) of luxury cars in the CTS’ segment are powered by ultra-efficient, high-tech diesel engines.
So, a few months after the introduction of the 2nd generation CTS to Europe, Cadillac will add a 3.0l diesel V-6 sourced from Italy’s VM Motori. Expected to put out around 245hp – this powertrain should go a long way to increase CTS’ acceptance in Europe.
“We expect at least 50% of CTS sales to be diesels,” – Dick Braakhekke, Cadillac Europe spokesman.
With the expected addition of a CTS wagon (another body style that is quite popular in Europe, if not so much in the US) – the CTS is poised to make a strong showing in the coming years.

It’s an interesting insight into how Cadillac sees itself and its products and how advertising and PR people try to put that vision into action.
