Its only one car, and it is an example of the new Platinum trim line (looks like its similar in concept to Chevy having LTZ and SS). I'm sure the base car would have a conventional drive train, powered by the 3.6DI.

Does it take a mechanical engineering degree to modify a conventional car?

The dash display throws me off, otherwise, I really like this Caddy.

If this is the same LLT in our Camaros, could we be seeing 350-295 from the factory soon, with the plug and play? That would honestly be a good thing.

Looks great to me, But isn't this on a stretched Epsilon II platform. The Buick Lacross wieghs over 4000lbs. This caddilac with AWD and etra batteries might wieght 4400lbs!! I don't think the 3.6 V6 will be up to moving that kind of mass. looks great though. I love the black color. It reminds me of a car the Mafia would love...lol the interior just needs to be black aswell.

Wasn't that number a combined value of the engine + electric motors?

What DG said, It's supposed to be big and ...big. It's a flagship.

The color was actually one of the bigger things that made me make the Bentley comment. Not very appealing to me, personally, but it oozes "luxury".

Yes. So unless there's enough room to shoehorn a Two-Mode PHEV system into the Camaro, 304 HP will have to do.
