When Cadillac announced the CTS Coupe concept at the Detroit Auto Show, everyone expected a coupe-convertible any-time soon. But sources inside GM told Inside Line this will never happen.

The CTS coupe was rumored to be getting a retractable hardtop, an engineering accomplishment already offered on the 3 Series and Volvo C70, and Infiniti and Lexus have already settled on retractable hardtops for the G37 and IS as well.

When queried about the possibility of a CTS convertible, or its early demise, Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell said, "We're pleased to be the subject of speculation. Maybe that's a sign that the CTS has struck a chord with some folks. This issue of a convertible is one of the very rare times where we decline the offer to comment."
