Platinum Cadillac Escalade - First SUV With L.E.D. Headlights

In case you haven’t noticed, the new 2008 Cadillac CTS is very eye-catching - especially at night. In front, there are vertical bars on the outside of each headlight that gives the front-end a very unusual appearance. It screams “Cadillac” without having to say anything. It’s very clean and classy-looking. Read more
Sneak Peak Into The Future For Cadillac
January 30, 2008
In a recent automotive publication, we find some interesting and revealing information into future Cadillac models. The article discusses how the Cadillac CTS will make it’s way into the Australian market during the fourth quarter of 2008, followed by the CTS wagon and CTC, also known as the CTS Coupe, in 2009.

New Entry Level Cadillac Sedan?
January 24, 2008
With the Cadillac CTS obviously moving upscale, and competitors like BMW with their new 1-Series, AND with the fact that Cadillac technically doesn’t even have a 3-Series or Mercedes C-Class competitor, it’s time for a new, smaller entry level offering.

Beginning in early June of 2009, the Lansing Grand River plant will begin producing between 15,000 and 20,000 units of the new Cadillac CTC, the coupe version of the Cadillac CTS.

New, Larger Crossover SUVs on the Horizon?
January 24, 2008
When Lincoln presented the MKT concept at the Detroit Auto Show, it reminded me a little of the past. Remember when they first introduced the Navigator? Cadillac rushed through the design process and gave us little more than a rebadged GMC Yukon Denali. It was smaller than the Navigator, a five-seater, and used the exact same engine with identical performance to the GMC model. The first Cadillac Escalade was a largely unsuccessful endeavor.

Northstar Ultra Program Cancelled
January 22, 2008
So, the Northstar is finished. Unless I’m mistaken, Cadillacs in 2010 will have the very last Northstar engines. Cadillac says its because of CAFE - but I’m having some trouble believing that. By 2020, automobile companies must have their average gas consumption for all vehicles at 35 miles per gallon. If a company has too many gas guzzling engines, they’ll never meet that mark. Read more
