General Motors is recalling the 2009-2010 Cadillac CTS AWD and the 2009-2010 CTS-V models due to an issue with the front passenger-side knee airbag, although it doesn’t seem like much of an issue in the first place if the front passenger isn’t a blithering idiot.
While some say that car sales are picking up around the world, the recession is busy taking names and beating up stragglers in the automotive marketplace.

Cadillac has developed a station-wagon version of their CTS luxo-sport sedan. The midsize estate is really targeted towards the hatch-loving European market, where GM expects 60% of all CTS sales to be of this big-assed variety.
Since one of our readers, Ali Z.Tabrizi, brought up the Cadillac BRX in a message to me, I figured I’ll use this vehicle to introduce the new incarnation of the Future Car Preview section, now rolled into this blog itself. As for the pictured Caddy, it is the Provoq concept, which was supposed to become a new crossover called the Cadillac BRX. The word now is that this will simply replace the slow-selling CTS-based SRX, thereby becoming the 2010 Cadillac SRX.
