A pink one especially. But since then, the American luxury marque hasn&#8217;t had a whole lot of convertibles. There was the Pininfarina-styled Allante and the recently discontinued XLR, both roadsters, but if you think the General&#8217;s luxury division is eager to get back into the open-air business, think again, as new reports indicate that there are no such plans on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>At least not based on the CTS, anyway. The series has spawned a sedan &#8211; including the all-conquering <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/06\/03\/review-2009-cadillac-cts-v-supercar-performance-everyday-driv\/\">CTS-V<\/a> &#8211; a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/09\/03\/review-2010-cadillac-cts-sportwagon-eats-up-cargo-the-open-roa\/\">wagon<\/a> and even a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/01\/la-2009-cadillac-cts-coupe-vogues-dazzles\/\">coupe<\/a>, but the guys over at Inside Line say they&#8217;ve got the inside line that no convertible version of one of Cadillac&#8217;s most prolific models is in the works. Which is a bit of a shame, when you think about it.
