In what many would see resembling the Cadillac CTS coupe, the Cadillac Converj is actually General Motor’s backup for the Chevy Volt. The 2009 concept car can run the same 40 miles as the Volt on electric power and the engine-generator kicks in to recharge the batteries and sustain electric propulsion afterwards.
So what differentiates the Converj from the Volt? Styling — or as GM vice chairman Bob Lutz put it, the sort of razzle-dazzle that might make the Converj appeal to buyers based on looks alone. The four-seater features Cadillac’s familiar angularity stretched to concept-car proportions, with 21-inch wheels in front and 22-inchers in the rear.
But while it seems that the Cadillac Converj promises to be another steal, it all depends on the performance of the Volt. Cadillac could certainly adapt a luxury version, which one analyst we talked to said makes more sense from a pricing standpoint.
