The grand opening event celebrated Cadillac and Corvette’s breakthrough into the European marketplace. The Experience Center covers an area of 2,000 square meters (approx. 21,500 sq. ft.) and includes a 700 square meter (approx. 7,500 sq. ft.) showroom and an ‘innovation wall’ offering an overview of the many notable innovations of Cadillac/Corvette. The first Cadillac and Corvette Experience Centers opened their doors in July 2004 in the German cities of Stuttgart and Dusseldorf. Since then, nine more centers have opened to the public ( Athens, Breukelen, Madrid and Warsaw), with more than 35 more planned in the coming years in key cities throughout Europe. |
