Cadillac BLS Wagon Headed to Europe
The much awaited world premiere of the Cadillac BLS Wagon will take place at the IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany this coming September. But I think General Motors' Cadillac luxury division is very excited and released the details of the vehicle ahead of the show. Well, we cant blame them for that.
Anyway, according to Cadillac, the BLS Wagon is scheduled to roll out in dealer showrooms across the European continent in November, shortly after its debut in Frankfurt. The BLS Wagon comes in 4 model trim levels for the customers to choose from. These include Business, Elegance, Sport and Sport Luxury. Moreover, Cadillac said it would be offering a new variant for the BLS Wagon that is capable in running with bio-ethanol fuel.
Check out what Cadillac has in store for out fellow European car freaks! I hope GM will also launch the BLS Wagon here in the US.
