		The BLS is also vital to Cadillac's plan to raise its profile in Europe.
		While the BLS does not share its structure with any of Cadillac's other cars, its angular exterior styling, stacked lights and well-equipped interior are consistent with the brand's U.S. models.

	The Truth About Cars \| Cadillac BLS
		In fact, the BLS is another in a long line of badly judged badge-engineering bodge jobs that’ve been ruining The General's brands for decades.
		When the Cadillac V-16 was launched they had a small rally one day driving from the south of Sweden up north to Stockholm.
		Yes, Cadillac can be happy if they stay a force here in the US where the name was invented, made number one in luxury and then trashed by the proctor and gamble people who used to run GM.

	Cadillac BLS 1.9 TiD SE \| Road Tests, Auto Features
		The increasing presence of Cadillac in the European market is part of the effort being made by General Motors to rescue itself from financial meltdown.
		The other is that Cadillac is an American brand, and American cars are still, thanks to their rarity, something of an exotic option for UK buyers.
		More accurately, the BLS is built at Saab's factory in Trollhattan, it uses the GM Epsilon platform shared by the 9-3 and the Vectra, and the engine in the car tested here - the first turbo diesel ever fitted to a Cadillac - is the 1.9-litre TiD unit co-developed by GM and Fiat.

	Cadillac BLS Luxury 1.9 TiD --- MotorBar Road Test
		Cadillac Europe admit that in the UK the biggest problem is to convince customers this time round that the brands are here to stay and that the products are now engineered, equipped and priced to meet European requirements.
		Currently, the Cadillac and Corvette brands are represented by a mixture of right- and left-hand drive model ranges: the executive CTS, the SRX monster 4x4, the STS touring saloon, the XLR two-seat roadster and the Corvette C6 sports car.
		If you like the Cadillac BLS (you won't have to think about it because you'll know how you feel at first sight and for the record, we rather like it), then about the only other thing you'll want to satisfy yourself about before writing the cheque will be the relatively low number of UK dealers.

	Cadillac BLS Review
		The BLS will be available with a choice of 4 engines –; the 1.9 litre, 150 bhp diesel, two 2.0 litre 4-cylinder petrol motors producing 175 bhp, and 210 bhp, and the range-topping 2.8 litre 255 bhp V6.
		Buyers would be tempted by this Cadillac by the thought of “daring to be different”, and by the style and distinctive design of the vehicles, Malcolm Wade, director of sales for Cadillac and Corvette in Europe said.
		Cadillac says it believes Europeans are getting bored with the same old choices, and are eager to find something different.

		The BLS Wagon interior is highlighted by a three-spoke leather steering wheel and an analog clock in the center stack.
		The Cadillac BLS Wagon will be in European Cadillac showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2007.

	Honda-Acura.net - Cadillac BLS - "Baby Caddy" just for Europe
		The BLS won’t be your typical Cadillac in the powertrain department.
		Cadillac's problem for Europe is that the CTS is as big as a Mercedes E-class or BMW 5-series.
		The BLS is still six and eight inches longer than theh Mercedes C-class and BMW 3-series, respectively, but at least it's still smaller than the next step up the model ladder.

	The Cadillac BLS at 2:48AM [The B-Sides]
		Yesterday I took the new Cadillac BLS for a drive and it was far from being crappy.
		The Cadillac BLS I was driving came with a 6-speed automatic and paddle shift.
		I am used to the F1 style paddle shift where you use your fingers to change gear but the Cadillac BLS is the one where you use your thumbs instead.

	Cadillac BLS Sport Luxury 2.8 V6 Auto \| Road Tests, Auto Features
		If the BLS range as a whole represents Cadillac's attempt to come to the people, this is the car within that range which starts heading back towards the company's historic position as a provider of special vehicles for the well-off.
		I was only mildly impressed by the 1.9-litre turbo diesel (seeroad test), and reckoned that the best thing it had going for it was the badge; Cadillac is still, after all, quite an exotic name in the UK.
		This is the only BLS available with the 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine - or you could say that the engine is available only with this trim level.

		Cadillac considers a diesel engine to be vital to the car's success on this side of the Atlantic.
		As well as the new CTS, Cadillac is thought to be considering a convertible or estate version of the BLS saloon.
		The BLS is based on the Saab 9-3, which is available as both cabriolet and estate, so in theory creating a BLS drop-top or estate is relatively easy.

	New Luxury Executive Cadillac BLS and SRX
		Cadillac is temporarily extending the range of the dynamic BLS and versatile SRX with an important new variant: the Executive.
		The BLS is the first Cadillac in the history of the American brand to be equipped with a turbodiesel engine.
		Cadillac’s crossover, the SRX, combines the sporting exterior, dynamic driving properties and safe driving behaviour of a luxury estate with the off-road capability, multifunctional usability and generous version space of a luxury SUV.

		When the BLS goes on sale in Europe, a total of five engines will be available to consumers, three of which are turbocharged gasoline, and two diesels.
		Though it's true that the BLS is based on the Epsilon architecture, the baby Cadillac shares many of the 9-3's unique traits in order to cut development time and cost.
		Even though the BLS has yet to go on sale, there are rumors that Cadillac is considering expanding the range to include a station wagon (like the 9-3 SportCombi) and even a convertible.

		GM’s goal in creating BLS was to compete at the low end of the luxury line against the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes C Class and the Audi A4.
		For starters, GM never planned to bring this version of the BLS to the U.S. Maybe it would have been too expensive once it got here, perhaps it is just not good enough or maybe GM did not want the similar-sized BLS and CTS sitting next to each other in the same U.S. showrooms.
		Of course, it’s a struggle to sell Cadillac’s bigger STS sedan, the SRX sport utility and LXR roadster against Mercedes and BMW on their home ground, but at least they are real Cadillacs.

	Between the Lines: Motor Trend on the Cadillac BLS - Jalopnik (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Despite the warm hotness that is the CTS-V, the words "Cadillac" and "small" go together like "male porn star" and "small." Cadillac obviously forgot to learn that lesson back in '81, when they released the "Cimarron by Cadillac".
		Cadillac remains one of those American things that just keeps getting lost in translation, especially in Europe, where the Standard of the World sold just a couple of thousand vehicles in 2005.
		The BLS hides the fact that it's something of a stopgap conceived after the Saab and sharing a platform with some honest but inauspiciously non-premium machines, the Pontiac G6 for instance.

	GM FastLane Blog: Cadillac BLS Hits European Dealerships
		The Cadillac BLS is an appealing and dynamic addition to Cadillac's global portfolio intended for Europeans who prefer luxury vehicles with stand-out design and precise handling and we're confident that it will be well received by the public abroad.
		The story also stated that the Cadillac BLS is the first Cadillac available with a diesel engine.
		The BLS would give Cadillac a volume model that is larger enough to be considered a “Cadillac” in the U.S. I would like to see a BTS RWD model based on the KAPPA architecture (Solstice) that could compete with the Mercedes C-Class.
