If it gets widened it should get shortened. Just drop the seats for headroom.

wide track= bad at autox
wide track= bad at road race
wide track is more weight and less nimble.

Scissor doors are going to be so passe in the future. they were neat when you only saw a few.

As for Wide Track, wider is better is how the old Pontiac add went.

4th gen = 74.1"

So the 72" of the wide sigma platform would be about what you ideal would be.

I could live with that
The concept is 79" wide, which is way to fat

CTS is on the narrow Sigma, but is moving to the larger AWD capable one. STS is on the wider Sigma along with the SRX.

Re: Overall width; What should we expect?

Ok, so the Caddies are ~72" wide, and the 4th-gen was 74" wide. I'll take 72" wide, please . There's no reason they can't scale down the look of the 5th-gen into a narrower body .
