Frankfurt — General Motors Co. — which has been exclusively building the limousines that ferry the president around for more than 30 years — isn't talking about the next-generation Cadillac presidential limousine.

Last month, NBC "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno received a toy model of the limo — nicknamed "The Beast" — from President Barack Obama during a stop on the show. "My friend (GM vice president for global design) Ed Welburn designed that car," Leno told Obama.

The newest presidential limousine made its debut just before Obama's 2009 inauguration. It has shiny 16-spoke wheels and a distinctive Cadillac grill complete with the GM brand's crest.
