Thus, an export market Cadillac now wears what many consider to be the world's least wanted tag ...... "Made In China".

The SLS went on sale in China in March. The car has helped to boost overall Cadillac sales in China by 128 per cent in the first nine months of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.

“We’re proud to bring the SLS to the Middle East market, where we believe it will be just as successful with luxury car consumers there as it has been in China,” said Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor.

Based on the STS sedan, the SLS is stretched 100 mm. The additional length results in a luxurious and spacious interior with rear legroom of 1,060 mm. The design of the SLS is unmistakably Cadillac. Diamond-faceted contours echo the geometry of other Cadillac vehicles. Subtle V-shapes, inspired by Cadillac’s shield badge, are a recurring motif in both the exterior and interior design. In typical Cadillac fashion, the SLS interior design and fit and finish deliver an outstanding experience from any seat. Ambient lighting, Tuscany leather and sapele pommele wood accents all give the cabin a relaxing and premium look and feel.

Under the bonnet, the Northstar 4.6 litre V-8 engine produces 320 horsepower, giving the SLS outstanding performance. The six-speed automatic transmission is electronically-controlled. Magnetic Ride Control and StabilTrak, along with a sport suspension, deliver both a refined ride and responsive handling.
