Now that the ATS and ELR production models have debuted, Cadillac is deciding where to focus its energy as it looks to become a global luxury brand.



Although Cadillac has just unveiled its Chevy Volt-based ELR luxury coupe, it's now more apparent than ever that the American automaker is intent on becoming a global luxury brand on par with the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Along with its new BMW 3 Series fighter, the ATS, and the upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship large sedan, Cadillac is reportedly preparing to round out its future lineup with a small crossover, a seven-passenger SUV and even a BMW 1 Series fighter.

The BMW 1 series does not currently share a platform with any Mini and never has. The 1 series is rear-wheel drive and the Mini is front-wheel drive, except for the Countryman which has the option of all-wheel drive.

However intent you are on commenting, try to sound like you know what you're talking about otherwise everyone is just going to think you're a moron. As is the case here.

BTW, Aston Martin currently uses the Toyota IQ platform for it's small car, called the Cygnet. Idiot.
