Unsurprisingly, it looks like Cadillac has stuck pretty close to the concept design with the production ELR.  Given that the luxury extended range EV is pretty small, it clearly hasn't moved to another platform and it's unlikely to have a significantly different powertrain. 

Reshared post from +Automobile Magazine

+Cadillac's ELR is out and about, getting ready for its debut. Think +Chevrolet Volt with more chrome, or a CTS coupe with better fuel economy.

At an event in Amsterdam today, +Ford Motor Company showed off the new Mondeo which will ride on a common global platform with the new #2013FordFusion . While customers here in North America will only get access to the four door sedan that we first saw at the Detroit Auto Show in January, European drivers will also have a station wagon and five-door hatchback version available. Those that know me already know which one I would put my money on it it was available (that would be the wagon). Which would you prefer. Cast your votes by +1 one of the first 2 comments below.
