This picture is not new, the car isn't either. OK, the car on the left is my '00 DTS, but what is the one on the right? Sure, a Cadillac, but which model?

My guess CTS 2005 or 6?

The MY ist correct, but it's not a CTS! As help: the model is now discontinued; it was also another flop for Cadillac.

So, maybe an EXT "truck". Also a Chevvy flop.

Richard, it seems that you are the sole "playing". I have to give some help: that model was only for the European market. Some help later...

Looks like a BLS, based around a Saab 93 I believe

I would guess a Catera but they were in the states.

You are right! The car was based on a Saab model, sold only in Europe. Bad timing, lack of marketing and other glitches killed the car from the beginning. Then Saab was at last abandonned by GM. In my opinion, Saab will not survive.
After all those years, I still don't understand why GM bought that ailing manufacturer; probably because Ford bought Volvo, Jaguar and Aston-Martin...to resell them with a great lost after some years.
Swissair did the same: the Swiss airline company bought Sabena and other little airlines loosing money and finally went bankruptcy.
