I think this is a good statement by the author......
"I'm troubled by this plan. For starters, the one thing that makes Cadillac special in Europe is that it is Detroit iron. Today's successful Cadillacs are not conservative or known for "understated elegance."
I think "more options" means money saved by offering an existing model, thefore Detroit making the extra sales, and what they could use that money for, etc.
