The new model, which made its world premiere at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, in Monterey, California last week, is expected to arrive in Cadillac’s UK showrooms in autumn 2009.

In the UK, the model will include features such as a fully integrated infotainment system with 40-gigabyte internal hard drive and pop-up navigation screen. US models will be available with 3.6-litre V6 engines but UK engine and transmission options are yet to be finalised.
