CADILLAC are rumoured to be building a new flagship, loosely based on the Sixteen concept of 2002, in a desperate attempt to build both market share and brand awareness in Europe.

To power it, engineers at GM's Holden subsidiary in Australia have come up with a jumbo V12 made from two V6s welded together. Likely to be rear-drive and based on the Commodore platform, Cad's new luxury barge will be "unlike anything GM has ever done before". Maybe they should take a look at sales of the Maybach and Rolls Phantom. And think again.
