Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant builds millionth Cadillac

The millionth Cadillac built at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant rolled-off the line. Fittingly, the milestone vehicle is an early model of the redesigned 2014 CTS sedan, which goes on sale in October.

Lansing Grand River, or LGR as it is known, has been a dedicated
rear-wheel-drive assembly plant since it opened in late 2001. Every CTS ever made has been built there.

In addition to the CTS, the plant also assembles the award-winning ATS sport sedan, the CTS Coupe and Wagon, and the CTS-V high performance models. Cadillacs from Lansing are exported from Michigan to 11 destinations worldwide.

"One-million Michigan-made Cadillacs is a great milestone for Lansing and for luxury car-building in America," said Bob Ferguson, Senior Vice-President Global Cadillac. "Lansing Grand River is an essential ingredient of Cadillac's growth. It is a benchmark for luxury car manufacturing in North America, which takes another step forward today with the launch of the new CTS."

The celebrated 2014 CTS sedan is painted in Red Obsession Tintcoat. The 2014 CTS is elevated and expanded, with more luxury, performance and technical sophistication. The thirdgeneration luxury sedan is larger and more spacious, but lighter because of advanced design and materials. The low mass approach is expected to enable CTS to deliver the most agile and engaging driving performance in the mid-size luxury class.
