Cadillac's first attempt at a luxury roadster, mostly to compete against Mercedes. The Pininfarnia-designed body was built in Italy, and the chassis was built in Detroit, which was shipped to Italy for final assembly. Naturally, this made it hideously expensive, and since it was from mid-90's GM it sucked.

That interior, though...and I thought Benz dashes were full of buttons!

Only thing I don't like about it is that it has never been to the track.

Come on ! Why build it if you are not going to use it, so the next guy can get a premium truck and drive the hell out of it ? ! ?
