New 2012 Cadillac CTS-V

Brash yet richly appointed, the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V is an American sensation in the prestigious high-performance touring segment usually dominated by German brands. Offered in three body styles, the CTS-V delivers viscous straight-line power and confident road-hugging handling; all the while catering the personal whims of a discriminating driver.
Few changes were made for 2012. Rainsense automatic wipers are standard, and new three exterior colors were introduced. The Coupe model also gets side blind-zone alert.
Like the Cadillac CTS line, the CTS-V is available in a 4-door Sedan, 2-door Coupe or Sport Wagon configuration. The biggest difference between the three is storage space with the Sport Wagon offering a generous 53.4 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded down. The Coupe offers just 10.5 cubic feet in its trunk. Styling cues unique to the CTS-V include a larger grille, raised hood, and rear spoiler.
A 556-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 separates the CTS-V from its Cadillac CTS siblings. The most powerful engine in Cadillac history, the 6.2-liter V8 can be mated to either a 6-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters or a 6-speed manual transmission with a dual-disc clutch. The CTS-V is rear-wheel-drive only, and there is a limited-slip differential to help control power launches. EPA estimated fuel economy is 12 mpg city and 18 mpg highway for the automatic and 14/19 for the 6-speed.
Precise road handling with a flair for luxury is also a hallmark of the CTS-V line, thanks to a 4-wheel independent suspension enhanced with shock absorbers controlled by advanced rheological technology. In simple terms, electronic sensors read the road conditions and constantly adjust the shocks for split-second control. Drivers can switch between Tour and Sport modes. They can also monitor the vehicle’s performance with a lateral acceleration display on the gauge panel. The CTS-V relies on huge Brembo brakes and special Michelin tires at all four wheels.
The CTS-V comes fully loaded with eight-way bucket seats trimmed in leather and suede, dual-zone automatic climate control, power adjustable steering column, ambient lighting, and Bose 5.1 surround sound audio with AM/FM/CD/DVD, navigation, 10 speakers, 40-gig hard drive, and USB port. A moonroof and racing style Recaro seats with 14-way adjustability are available options.
The CTS-V has not been crash tested by government or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. However, its near-identical twins, the CTS sedan and Sport Wagon, received five stars in both frontal and side-impact crash tests. The CTS also was named a 2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick. Standard safety equipment on the CTS-V includes antilock disc brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, rear park assist, rearview camera, seat-mounted side airbags, side-curtain airbags, and OnStar.

Once dominated by the BMW M series and Mercedes-Benz AMG cars, the luxury performance market now has a worthy American entry in the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V.

2013 Cadillac SRX

Cadillac moved 56,905 SRXs in 2011, enough to make the midsize luxury crossover the brand’s overall best seller last year. In fact, the SRX has been hot ever since the current generation was introduced in 2009. Cadillac is hoping to keep that momentum up with its updated 2013 Cadillac SRX, which is making its debut at the 2012 New York auto show.
While most mid-cycle refreshes usually center on exterior and powertrain updates, Cadillac's focus for the 2013 SRX was interior refinement. The SRX's cabin is now allegedly quieter (thanks to active noise cancelation technology), more luxurious (new interior color combinations, steering wheel, and shift knob design), and more tech savvy, with Cadillac's new CUE entertainment system standard on all trim levels.
The secret to finding the right Cadillac SRX Spoiler lies with understanding the characteristics this ride’s exterior displays. The SRX is not your everyday crossover.

2012 Cadillac Escalade

 The 2012 Cadillac Escalade ranks 1 out of 10 Luxury Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 89 published reviews and test drives of the Cadillac Escalade, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2012 Cadillac Escalade is  one of the most recognizable luxury large SUVs on the market, and reviewers love that it backs up its bold, blingtastic looks with great performance.
The 2012 Cadillac Escalade comes standard with lots of power, clever interior features and flashy, unmistakable looks, so it’s no wonder it ranks at the top of its class.
Still, auto writers note that while it’s easy to love the Escalade, the decision to buy one can be difficult. Smaller luxury crossovers provide third rows that are more comfortable for adults than the Escalade’s, and many of these models cost less. German and Japanese luxury brands like Audi and Infiniti provide more technological wizardry for a similar price. But no other SUV has quite the same cachet as the Cadillac Escalade.
The Cadillac Escalade does such a good job of combining standard features, bold looks, luxury and value that earned our 2012 Best Luxury Full-Size SUV for Families and 2012 Best Luxury Large SUV for the Money awards. Overall, if you have the money to spend and want to stand out from the crowd, reviewers say the Cadillac Escalade is a great choice.

Cadillac ATS News

With the Cadillac ATS, General Motors is trying to break into the market for small luxury sport sedans now dominated by BMW’s 3-Series. The ATS, unveiled Sunday, a day ahead of the North American International Auto Show press days in Detroit, was designed to be among the lightest cars in its class.
If Cadillac can gain a foothold in the segment, it will be highly lucrative for GM. Cadillac currently doesn’t have a car that can compete with the 3-Series. Last year, BMW sold more than 94,000 3-Series cars, including sedans, coupes, stations wagons and convertibles, according to Autodata Corp. The lowest-price model, the 328i sedan, starts at over $34,000 and decked-out versions can run higher than $60,000. GM wouldn’t reveal the price of the ATS, which will be built in Lansing, Mich., and is due in showrooms late this summer.
Few brands command the kind of respect Cadillac does. There’s more than one reason, certainly, but part of it has to do with responsibility. Cadillac goes through an involved process every go-round to design and develop rides that are not only classy and luxurious, but contemporarily stylish as well. That means it is incumbent upon the driver to make sure that he/she is not settling when it comes to making modifications. Only the hottest fashion in the best quality is what will do the job. Are we seeing a pattern here? For your

Cadillac Spoiler, you can only depend on the finest options available. Otherwise, you’re just cheating you and your vehicle out of what it really deserves. That’s no way to treat a Caddy. At CARiD.com, we’ll help you make sure your vehicle rolls on with classy superiority!
