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.
