Looks like GM will give it another go with Cadillac and Corvette in Europe and the UK, Not sure who they will try and sell them with this time? With Saab now sold GM only had Cadillac as their upmarket brand so maybe this time round they will give it a better go!!
I have heard about the C6 Grand sport for the Europe market which would be great news and nice to see some more cars being sold again! As for service network not sure if this would increase.
Maybe Stratstone will just give it up and leave it to someone else?
Cadillac will be selling the new SRX and CTS Wagon for the Europe market along with the ZR-1 powered CTS-V Coupe


From Autonews-
The automaker will resume distribution of some vehicles in Europe soon, undoing a move made last year when its western European distributor, Kroymans Corp., collapsed.

Instead, GM targeted emerging markets such as Russia and China. GM has established a new company, Cadillac Europe, which will manage importing, distribution and marketing of an unspecified range of vehicles.

They will be sold through a network of dealerships in key European markets.

I Thought Corvettes were still sold through their network of ''Cadillac&Corvette''dealers...There is one just a mile where I live in northern Spain that is still open and has plenty of H3 Hummers, a few Cadillacs and one or teo C6s...Is he maybe working as an indipendent then?

You can still buy them in the UK, But dealers have had no new stock for quite some time.
Not even sure what is going on with Hummer?

Out of interest you may find Bob Lutz's speech on Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show of interest. Depending on your outlook you may think it to be good news.

Hopefully any return of new car sales for the Corvette and Cadillac would be great!
