According to Automotive News, Cadillac has five new EVs on the horizon — beyond the and , which have already been revealed — and most are likely to be built in American Cadillac plants. The electrified Escalade will come from Detroit, a large EV crossover will join the Lyriq in Spring Hill, TN, and two will enter production in Lansing, MI.

The odd one out of the bunch is an XT4-sized EV, meant to slot in below the Lyriq. It, reportedly, will be built in Mexico at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant. The move will likely save Cadillac some dough on a budget-minded model, but could throw a wrench in those cost-cutting plans. Bosses never seem to like it when workers start earning more.

Ramos Arizpe produces the current , and formerly built the Sonic and Cruze. With those two models now dead and gone, there’s likely some square footage in the plant ready to be re-dedicated — an entry-tier electric Cadillac, with costs on the mind, seems like a perfect use for the space.

For $5,500, You Can Fix It Again Tony, Abarth Style
Fiat has an unenviable reputation in the U.S.. The Abarth name here is less well known, but is revered among the enlightened. Put them together and you get something like today's Ritmo. É buono?

For $10,000, I Am Iron Man Aluminum Benz
Mercedes Benz isn't known for unleashing their untamed offspring on the public, however in 1979, they did just that. Today's 450 SLC lightens its load by adding aluminum, but is it worth lightening your wallet? Mercedes Benz has had a long and fruitful racing history, and some of their most...
