Cadillac Launches New Hybrid Car

Want to hear some astonishing news? Cadillac’s gorgeous Converj concept is supposedly in line for production in a hybrid series. You can go change your pants now. Many have been begging GM for more details about the vehicle ever since it was unveiled in the Detroit show earlier in the year. There have long-been rumors about its production. According to Detroit News, production for this concept has been given the green light. With the rather long wait, one has to wonder if Vice Chairman Lutz had to bend a few arms behind the scenes to get it to go.

The Converj is very similar to Chevrolet’s Volt. It’s an extended-range car. This will not only earn you some serious environment-friendly credibility and fantastic mileage for an all-American car, but it will also out-class and out-style many similar green cars.

It may function very similarly to the Volt, but when you compare the cars physically, you can see why most people would definitely prefer the Converj. It’s sexy, stylish, sleek, sophisticated. It’s really got the Cadillac feel to it that we’ve all grown accustom to expecting from them.

It can go roughly forty miles before the gas kicks in, which isn’t anything too spectacular when compared to other concept green cars. However, as it is a Cadillac hybrid car, you can bet there are going to be a lot of upscale touches here and there to make it stand out in a crowd. GM’s quite pleased, as it sunk in over a billion bucks to create some pretty swanky systems in the Volt.

They plan to recouperate their costs when selling the Caddies. While other green cars are targeted at Average Joes, The Converj is targeted at a much more upscale set of people. While no one is sure of the price, since GM is setting the Volt under 40k, we can expect the Converj will be well over it.
