www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 21, 2007 - 29 Cadillac extends European portfolio with BLS Wagon Cadillac reinforced its commitment to grow its brand in Europe by announcing it will add the BLS Wagon to its portfolio later this year. "The Cadillac BLS Wagon is an appealing addition to the Cadillac portfolio for customers preferring dramatically designed luxury vehicles that offer versatility and performance along with outstanding ride and handling characteristics," said Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor. "This is the first Cadillac wagon in our 104-year history, and we think it will do well in many European markets where consumers desire a high degree of versatility and functionality in their performance luxury vehicles." An international team of designers, under the leadership of Ed Welburn, GM vice president of Global Design, created a BLS Wagon with a wedge shape that is emphasized by the tapered lines of the side windows. The BLS Wagon also features jewel-like headlamps, fog lamps integrated into the body-colored bumper and a wide air intake below the grille. A narrow chrome strip runs along the side windows and the latest LED technology is used in the center highmounted stop lamp, which is prominently positioned in the rear spoiler. Vertical taillamps, another Cadillac hallmark, play a prominent role in defining the elegant rear proportions of the BLS Wagon. The BLS Wagon interior is highlighted by a three-spoke leather steering wheel and an analog clock in the center stack. The circular instruments have white numerals and red needles on a black background. State-of-the-art infotainment systems include high-quality audio units from American sound specialist Bose, among others; a DVD navigation system with touchscreen operation; a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone system with a hands-free kit; and remote controls on the steering wheel. The front-wheel-drive BLS Wagon is offered with a turbo-diesel and three turbocharged gasoline engines. The 1.9L fourcylinder diesel engine, with common-rail direct-injection technology, is fitted with a Auto EVERYTHING maintenance-free particulate filter and delivers 150hp of power. The range of gasoline engines includes two 2.0L four-cylinder versions (175 hp and 210 hp), and a hightech, 2.8L V-6 (255 hp) that features a twinscroll turbocharger and variable phasing of the intake camshafts. The BLS Wagon offers six-speed manual transmissions and five- or six-speed auto- matic transmissions, depending on engine. For BLS models equipped with an automatic transmission, a standard Sport Mode button allows the driver to select a sportier transmission shift pattern. Comfort and driving dynamics The Cadillac BLS Wagon will be in European Cadillac showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2007. Nissan Canada Inc. February sales results Nissan Canada Inc.
