Volt Concept Being Used for Cadillac

With the Volt being such a success for General Motors, it makes sense that the automaker would want to put the Volt technology into their other cars that could use some sprucing up. And this is just what GM has said that they are going to do. And the technology is going to be used in a new Cadillac model that has just been called the ELR. So when can people expect to see the ELR on the market? 

Most people that are close to the project state that the model would be a 2014 model, thus it would start getting publicity in 2013, not very long of a wait for those that are jumping with joy. So just what is the ELR going to look like? The clearest idea of what the ELR could look like is based off of the Cadillac concept car, the Converj that was a concept car shown in 2009 at the Detroit Auto Show. 

This is not the first time that Cadillac has proposed an electric luxury car, in fact the idea is coming around for the third or fourth time. Thus, many people are wondering if the ELR will actually become something that people can buy. It is a fairly good assumption to state that it will, basically due to the higher fuel mileage regulations that are going to be hitting the automakers, and because GM wants to make sure that they stay on top and keep away that coveted first position from Toyota.

However, GM has confirmed that the ELR is something that will hit the market. Though, they are stating that it is strictly aimed at those that are wanting a luxury car and something that is still going to have good performance, as Cadillac has always had. The ELR is definitely something that is going to have spirits high around GM as many people are going to be looking forward to its release.
