General Motors Co. will build a new, top-of-the-range Cadillac car — bigger than the XTS — at its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant.
GM CEO Mary Barra is planning to make the announcement Friday, the company confirmed.
The automaker has been installing new tools and equipment at Detroit-Hamtramck for the yet-unnamed flagship car. Production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2015, GM said.
The high-tech car is expected to be a low-volume model — at least initially. GM is not saying if additional jobs will be tied to production of the car, but the addition of new vehicles typically helps secure jobs at plants. The company and the United Auto Workers have been talking for years about adding a second shift at Detroit-Hamtramck.
