Cadillac (Page 6)

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: It’s not looking too good in the public relations arena for Cadillac and GM when the national, now world conversation nows turns toward questioning the existence of luxury car brands after the Cadillac XT6-Gate GM Debacle. Aston Martin’s CEO weighed in with the XT6-Gate to establish six ultra brands, and none of the ones below it like Cadillac will surpass them. But let’s be clear: XT6-Gate is an American problem, not a European one.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: While GM didn’t strike an iceberg like Titanic with the recent Cadillac XT6-Gate Roll Out, XT6’s Super Cruise “Radio Delete” from the options list Gaffe, and Caddy’s the ”Lead Brand” Announcement Kerfuffle with no Caddy BEV for three years, it certainly ran into the reefs too quickly like the Costa Concordia. Although it isn’t a massive blockbusting disaster, it is a serious debacle that needs some changes. And they better do it soon.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: GM President Mark Reuss’ recent announcement of putting Cadillac as the lead brand against Tesla helped everything else but Cadillac. Cadillac just put their third gas CUV into their portfolio right after this announcement! A real all electric car company doesn’t do that! To be taken seriously by anyone you have to be reliable and believable, and that means having honesty, and to be honest, starting with yourself, you have to believe in yourself. Who’s fooling who?

Cadillac is bringing the Escalade's smaller sibling to market and it is aiming to take over the luxury crossover market currently dominated by Lexus and BMW.

A new report with input from General Motors has stated that the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette will not make its grand debut at next month’s 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit – meaning that we will all be waiting even longer for what could be the next generation of the legendary American sports car.

Cadillac is giving the 2019 Escalade a new blacked-out sport edition. It is perfect for the buyer that wants to add some mystery to the luxury SUV.

After announcing earlier this week that the Detroit Hamtramck plant where the Cadillac CT6 is built would be “unallocated” sometime next year, the company has confirmed that the CT6 will be discontinued after 2019, but before it races off into the sunset, the twin turbo V8-powered CT6-V will reach showrooms.

It was around this time twenty years ago that the now legendary Cadillac Escalade started hauling the ruling class and celebritydom on the streets of the big American cities as if they were elegant stage coaches of the Victorian or Edwardian Eras over 100 years ago. So after reading a story about the disastrous 2009 hybrid I decided to do a flashback ode to the iconic 20th century truck that lives on today.

SHOCKING!! It seems Cadillac and electricity mix like oil and water. Never mind the gas versions are crap, plagued with electrical problems, they can’t even make reliable ones that partly run on electricity either! While GM’s CEO Mary Barra has a “zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion” ten year plan for GM’s future, Cadillac certainly isn’t helping with the failures they’ve had with each electric they tried to sell. CT6 was strike 3. Here’s why and what they can do about it:

With some missteps Cadillac is still in a comeback trajectory if they keep away from being a “discount luxury brand.”

If this key fob proves to be real, General Motors is working on a Cadillac based on the upcoming mid-engine Corvette and based on what we can see in the pictures, it definitely looks to be real.

Cadillac is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the special V-Series Cadillacs with a super-exclusive version. Only 300 of the vehicles will be produced.

The President of the United States took delivery in New York City recently of the first of twelve “one-off” handbuilt vehicles which will routinely switch off to be designated the US Presidential State Car, Cadillac One, “the Beast.” Expected to be delivered for his inauguration two years ago, no explanation for why it was apparently late. But with no noteable Secret Service action required lately, its absence wasn’t apparently missed.

The 2018 Cadillac ATS-V doesn’t pack the raw power of the CTS-V, but the new, smaller coupe is the most exciting Caddy 2-door of the modern era, packing solid power, precision handling and all of the premium amenities that you could ask for into this great-looking luxury car.

Cadillac is out with a compact SUV that could strike at the heart of the Lexus and BMW X3 crowd. The 2019 Cadillac XT4 joins the fast-growing luxury crossover segment.

With the continued uptick purchases of trucks and SUVs by US consumers, while global new car sales are slowing down, and gas prices remaining low the last two years, there is now a glut of used EV cars on the market, with bargains to be had if you know where and how to find one for the right price.

The Cadillac Escalade debuted 20 years ago and continues to set the pace for many premium vehicles.We look at some of the brand's advancements.

We haven't yet seen the fruits of the significant directional shift that involves almost every aspect of Cadillac. But Cadillac is on an offensive and may introduce an electric passenger car by 2021. Cadillac EV does sound good and it's very realistic if according to the Cadillac Society.

Hennessey Performance lifts the 640-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V up over 1,000 horsepower at the crankshaft and in the video below, we get to watch and listen as the supercharged luxury sedan works out on the dyno before hitting the track – and hitting some very high speeds.

Velite 6 and Enspire definitely could be comeback vehicles for Buick in the United States.

GM’s race for 20 electric cars by 2023 is underway with two concept cars that most likely will go into production. They’re both Chinese Buicks, for now, one is a wagon, the other, an SUV with the potential to become something so much more.

Cadillac is offering a unique opportunity for drivers who want to push the limits of its performance vehicles, the ATS-V and the CTS-V.

Cadillac is expanding its Tesla-killer autonomous vehicle technology. It will be on all Cadillacs soon and then will expand to all GM vehicles. Plus, GM is adding a new feature that will communicate with everything around the vehicle.

While speaking at the ongoing 2018 New York International Auto Show, Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen stated that the twin turbo 4.2-liter V8 in the new CT6 V-Sport is not going to be shared with the Chevrolet Corvette – although I take this information with a grain of salt.

In a wide-ranging interview on the subjects of electric vehicles, power infrastructure, and international trade, Mary Barra shares her vision of a future with compact EVs in everyone's driveway. However, she opts to drive the largest gasoline vehicle GM makes. Her reason is revealing.

We learned this week that the 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport will feature a new dual overhead cam, twin turbo V8 with a reverse cylinder head design, all of which are expected features of the powerplant in the rumored mid-engine Corvette.

Cadillac announced this morning that the beautiful CT6 sedan will be offered in a new V-Sport trim for 2019, packing all-wheel-drive, a 10-speed automatic transmission and a new twin turbo V8 delivering somewhere in the area of 550 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque.

To show off their 800-horsepower supercharged upgrade package for the Cadillac Escalade, the folks at Hennessey Performance lined the blown SUV up with a new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, with the all-wheel-drive family hauler beating the road course-ruling muscle car.

Cadillac CTS is perfect example of what's wrong with the brand. First gen Cadillac CTS was a good car for a good price, but today's new CTS Cadillacs are very exepensive and GM may want to look into it.

XT4 may be a sign Cadillac’s rebranding is about to take off.
