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.

Cadillac News

A Direct Rival to BMW 3 Series Unveiled.
New luxury sports sedan, the ATS was presented at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show as a direct rival to the BMW 3 Series. According to the auto maker, the ATS will not just compete, but beat the current segment leading vehicle.
One of the notable updates is the weight reduction, which was the key in car's development. It resulted in the improved performance and efficiency, yet more nimble driving overall. Such parts as the magnesium engine mounts, “natural-fiber” door trim panels, and the aluminum hood also resulted the vehicle's balance. Cadillac ATS accessories.
The other significant improvement is the addition of the optional 270-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. As for the design, the newly built ATS's overall shape is similar to the CTS's, yet featuring design cues from the new XTS flagship sedan. The prominent two-piece grille was widened and toned-down on the chrome. The auto maker equipped new ATS with such safety and convenience technologies: blind spot monitoring, intelligent brake assist, lane departure warning, hill hold assist, full speed adaptive cruise control, a collision alert system, a back-up camera, and adaptive forward lighting. While the vehicle got adjustable Magnetic Ride Control suspension as standard equipment as well as a ZF variable electric steering system and 17-inch wheels, Brembo brakes and 18-inch wheels are optional.

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. Since it presents some smooth lines and a luxurious overall presence, you can’t just go and latch onto some generic-quality piece and screw it into the back the moment you get it. You have to handle with care and recognize what your SRX is meant for. That means the style, the sophistication, and most of all, the class. It also means the Cadillac SRX Spoiler that compliments the look perfectly! We’ll help you get on board with the stirring image upgrade you’re looking for.

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!

Cadillac SRX Grille Guards

When we tested the then-redesigned Cadillac SRX in 2010, we had one big complaint: The 3.0-liter V6 managed to get the job done, but it was outmatched by the overall heavy weight of the vehicle. We wondered why the SRX didn’t just come with GM’s corporate 3.6-liter V6. Now it does.
The 308-hp, 3.6-liter V6 replaces both the 265-hp, 3.0-liter base V6 engine and an already-discontinued-due-to-slow-sales 300-hp, 2.8-liter, turbocharged V6. Otherwise, the SRX remains much the same. It retains the plush, well-finished interior and relatively agile handling we enjoyed before. It also has the same impaired driver visibility.
Our SRX AWD Luxury Collection has no options and stickers at $43,085. That sum buys a rather well-equipped compact luxury SUV.
We’ll find out what impact the new engine has on acceleration and fuel economy as we thoroughly test the updated SRX.
Protect the luxury… Cadillac Grille Guards are a crucial part of your vehicle’s exterior. The front-end is a main attraction. Should it really be left out in the open, vulnerable to all of the mishaps that so often occur? At CARiD, we don’t think so, which is why we present a vaunted selection of top-quality Cadillac Grille Guards for you to choose from. Comprised of brute-tough Stainless Steel and prepared to take on all the heavy-duty responsibilities your vehicle calls for, a Cadillac Grill Guard is the perfect remedy for a front-end that feels too exposed. Whether you drive around in an ultra-urban metropolis or cruise the country’s most rural roadways, a Cadillac Grill Guard is always a great idea.
CARiD.com’s inventory of Cadillac Grille Guards is full of first-class options. All of the Cadillac Push Bars and Bull Bars we offer come from the biggest names on the block including Westin® and Romik®, so you can rest assured that the quality is completely without rival. Cadillac Grille Guards are available in Polished Steel and Black Powder Coat to add onto the luxurious image your ride is known for. You’ll also get user-friendly instructions as well as all the necessary components you need for a DIY installation. Don’t wait around. Give your Caddy protection that never goes out of style!

2012 Cadillac SRX

The 2012 Cadillac SRX ranks 6 out of 8 Luxury Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 43 published reviews and test drives of the Cadillac SRX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
With a new 3.6-liter V6 engine, reviewers now love everything about the 2012 Cadillac SRX: its powerful engine, upscale interior and bold exterior.
Most car reviewers said the 2011 Cadillac SRX’s interior amenities exuded luxury, but disliked its underpowered, standard 3.0-liter engine. Those opinions have changed for the 2012 model year, as Cadillac has fitted all 2012 SRX trims with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that test drivers call smooth, powerful and quiet. Paired with good performance are a head-turning exterior and an exceptional interior that reviewers still call luxurious, comfortable, high-quality and spacious.
But there are a few things test drivers don’t discuss much. One is the 2012 SRX’s low fuel economy ratings. Second, the Cadillac SRX is expensive. Pricing hasn’t been released for the 2012 model, but like last year, GM requires shoppers to upgrade to higher trims to gain access to coveted amenities like heated seats, sunroof, navigation, a power tailgate and a reviewer-liked cargo management system that has a cargo fence and under-floor storage. Last year, adding these features easily increased the 2011 Cadillac SRX’s bottom line to more than $40,000.
However, those are the types of prices shoppers looking at luxury compact SUVs should expect. Most models in this class start at between $33,000 and $35,000, just like the 2012 Cadillac SRX, and adding tech features makes them pricier. That said, if you can afford to pay a premium for your next SUV, reviewers say you won’t be disappoint with the SRX’s new engine and plush interior.
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.

Cadillac Escalade in Drag Race

Cadillac really is ready to challenge all comers in the luxury automobile segment, then Mercedes-Benz is a great target to shoot for. As such, perhaps it's not surprising that Caddy put together a video showing how it can easily dispatch one of the German automaker's products. The battleground is a straight stretch of asphalt with a starting line, finish line and hit-the-gas-now light tree. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a little bit of America versus Germany automotive action, no? Problem is, from our vantage point, Cadillac isn't exactly fighting fair.
General Motors' luxury arm picked out a Mercedes-Benz C300 as its desired target. There's really nothing in Cadillac's stable right now that lines up directly with the C300 (the CTS is too large and the ATS isn't here yet), so the American automaker decided to trot out... an Escalade.
Now, we're all for vehicles of different shapes and sizes lining up in one-on-one motorsports combat, but there's nothing fair about this fight. The C300 is an entry-level luxury sedan powered by a modest 228-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine (it's not even the most powerful 'regular' C-Class – that distinction belongs to the 302-hp C350). In the other line sits a gurgling, much more expensive luxury SUV with its 6.2-liter 403-horsepower V8 power plant loping eagerly under the hood.
Why not put an Escalade Hybrid up against an SLS AMG? If the 'Slade managed to beat that, then we'd really have something to talk about, eh?
Cadillac vehicles are well-known for their ultra-comfy interiors and refined attributes, a fact not lost on the general public. After all, no brand is as synonymous with American luxury as this iconic heavyweight. Keeping the inside of your Caddy sharp means protecting it every way possible. CARiD.com is here with premium-made Cadillac Floor Mats that do the job. Right here is where you will find the improved line of defense between your carpet and those “mini-disasters” that pop up from time to time. We’ve got you covered with the highest quality and most styles you’ll ever lay your eyes on. From WeatherTech® Cadillac Rubber Mats to Lloyd® Luxe™ luxury Car Floor Mats, you have all the options you need to protect your ride with comfort and class.
Our entire inventory of Cadillac Mats can be counted on to provide outstanding security against spills and stains while also keeping your vehicle’s luxurious profile right where it should be. That’s because every top-tier manufacturer is represented along with the ultra-modern materials, the newest styles, and never-ending comfort your feet need to feel at home! Custom Embroidered Cadillac Floor Mats, All-Weather Mats, Universal Carpet Mats…the list goes on and on. Your vehicle’s “living room” should be clean and elegant. This is the place to make sure that it is.

Cadillac ATS

Following months of rumors and spy shots, General Motors has released the first teaser image of its upcoming Cadillac ATS sedan. The new ATS sedan will slot beneath the CTS in the Cadillac lineup, taking on vehicles like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The ATS’ design is clearly inspired by the CTS sedan, highlighted by crisp lines and bulging wheel arches. An up-swept character line is visible near the car’s rocker panel with large wheels giving the car a planted look.
Up front, though, it appears as though the ATS was influenced by the XTS Concept. Unlike the CTS’ headlights, the ATS’s appear to flow more into the car’s fenders, giving a more swept-back look. XTS-like fog light opens also look to be a part of the ATS’s front-end treatment.
The ATS’ will ride on an all-new RWD-AWD architecture dubbed Alpha. Although GM CEO Dan Akerson labeled the architecture as Cadillac-specific, it is believed the Alpha platform will underpin the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro as well as a sporty sedan wearing the Bow Tie badge.
Like the larger CTS, the ATS will be available in sedan, coupe and wagon body styles, although the Euro-rival will also be available as a convertible.
The big news powertrain-wise is that the ATS will get a turbocharged four-cylinder. The entry-level ATS is slated to come equipped with a 270 horsepower version of GM’s turbocharged 2.0L engine, backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to those eight cogs, the 2.0 ATS should return 22/32mpg.
An up-level 3.6L model will also be available, boasting 330 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. It too will be mated with an eight-speed gearbox, returning economy of 20/30mpg.
An ATS-V model is certainly possible, but it remains to be seen what engine what stuff between its fenders.
Currently, production of the ATS sedan is slated to start in July of 2012, followed by the coupe in July of 2013. All ATS models will be assembled at the automaker’s Lansing, Michigan, assembly plant. Expect pricing to start in the mid-$20,000 range.
Cadillac ATS is the best combination of luxury exterior design and ultimate interior comfort. Whether you drive on busy streets or along winding roads, as a driver you want be proud of your vehicle. With CARiD.com accessories and parts you drive the nail. If you need to change the faulty parts or want to provide your car with more individual look, here you can find a wide selection of Cadillac ATS Accessories that include glittering grilles, dash kits, chrome trim, floor mats, spoilers, Cadillac license plates and more.

The SRX's exterior features a multi-piece shield grille and Cadillac's iconic vertical headlamps, wîth light pipe technology and available adaptive forward lighting technology that turns the lamps in the direction of the front wheels.
The SRX has a wide stance, minimal overhangs and wheels pushed to corners. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard on the Base and Luxury Collection and 20-inch wheels are standard on Performance and Premium Collections.

SRX Crossover

Cadillac unveiled the next-generation 2010 SRX Crossover today, featuring a completely new design and more-efficient, high-technology engine choices. The new SRX is a mid-size luxury crossover coming to the North American International Auto Show next week.
'The all-new SRX is a fresh and compelling crossover aimed squarely at the priorities of luxury buyers,' said Mark McNabb, North America vice president, Cadillac/Premium Channel. 'With new technologies for increased efficiency and safety, the redesigned 2010 SRX Crossover focuses on both the emotional and pragmatic sides of the luxury consumer.
The 2010 SRX is designed for efficient performance, including the choice of two high-tech six-cylinder engines that are new to Cadillac – the smallest-displacement engines it offers in North America. A new, 3.0L direct injected V-6 engine is standard and a new, 2.8L turbocharged V-6 is optional. Both engines employ technology that helps produce strong performance that is typical of larger-displacement engines. Direct injection enables a 25-percent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions. Fuel economy in the mid-20s on the highway is expected, but testing isn't complete.
No one beats CARiD when it comes to Cadillac SRX Accessories and parts.

Cadillac Escalade ESV

The 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV is the largest model within the Escalade family of luxury SUVs, offering the most space for passengers and cargo. With its extreme expression of power, size and utility, its appeal depends on your perspective. Environmentalists might consider it a brash and wasteful road hazard. Suburbanites could see it as a sweet way to roll with lots of friends on a big Saturday night. Large families with something to tow could use it as their go-to vacation mobile. Our take? The Escalade ESV is indeed all these things.
Sharing much of its DNA with the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, the Escalade ESV is 21 inches longer than a standard Escalade, seats up to eight and is able to haul up to 137 cubic feet of cargo with the second-row seats folded and the third row removed. The ESV offers the same basic layout and features as its shorter brother, but adds more luggage room behind the rear seats and the option of a third-row flip-down DVD entertainment screen. In addition to unmistakable Cadillac styling, the ESV also boasts a quiet, finely trimmed cabin, sophisticated adjustable suspension and a brawny but smooth 6.2-liter V8.
Yet there are downsides. Its maneuverability, braking performance and fuel economy are most comparable to ocean liners. You might expect this from such a big vehicle, but you might not expect the need to physically remove the third-row seat should your load require the ESV's huge, available cargo space. Almost every other large luxury SUV has a fold-flat third row. Of course, the Escalade ESV costs more than its brethren, too.
For those who would prefer something less ostentatious and who don't require the Escalade ESV's extra-large capacity, the Infiniti QX56, Land Rover LR4 and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class are less cumbersome to drive and great luxury SUVs in their own right. If you do need something extra-large, the Lincoln Navigator L is an alternative, though it lacks the power and prestige of the Cadillac. There's also the subtler but equally capable GMC Yukon XL Denali. But for those who want it all, it's hard to go wrong with the 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV's unique combination of presence, pampering and performance.

2011 Cadillac Escalade

Not to be outdone by its technological advancements, Escalade also has a full array of safety features: Front row-dual stage airbags, head curtain side airbags for all passenger rows, front row thorax airbags, and front row seat pretensioners.
A vehicle of this size and stature is certainly not for everyone, and that is why the automaker also delivers the likes of the Cadillac SRX,but Escalade and especially Escalade ESV still have their place and their buyers. Time will tell what their life expectancy is given the ever-constant fuel economy struggles but for now they are here, they are big on luxury and big on the road and they are … 88 thousand dollars.
Thrills. It's why we enjoy driving. Sure, we all have to get from A to B, but every now and again it helps to wring a little bit more juice out of the machine to make sure we're still alive.

Cadillac Air Intakes

And now for something completely awesome: the 2010 Hennessey V650 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon doing terrible things to expensive tires. John Hennessey's love affair with all things Cadillac is no secret; his wife's daily driver is an HPE700-equipped CTS-V sedan. We've also seen Mr. Hennessey's insatiable lust for showing off his cars embarrassing more expensive metal.
This time, though, the car in question doesn't need to dust a Porsche off the line to prove its mettle. No, the V650 does a fine job of that on its own. With exhaust cutouts, an increase in boost from 9.5 to 13 psi and a quarter mile of open track ahead of it, the car burns its tires through first and second gears without skipping a beat. If we had to guess, we'd say it could keep going through third, but the tires deserve just a little mercy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqjbm78O5QY&feature=player_embedded

#AA-250-253 - Cadillac CTS-V 2009 & UP, CAD Air Intake System by AIRAID®. The intakes of this series use the stock air filter location, but give it a boost with a larger air inlet to keep more cold air flowing through the 360 degree AIRAID® Filter. At the same time Cold Air Dam seals directly to the hood, separating the hot engine area from the air inlet to ensure that only cold air is supplied to the engine. The kit includes the Roto-Molded X-Linked Polyethylene intake tube that is less affected by the engine heat (compared to steel or aluminum tubing). All of these factors guarantee the horsepower and torque increase, as well as improvement on fuel consumption.

Cadillac Escalade News

The Cadillac Escalade has become a favorite of the hip-hop set and with high profile individuals everywhere since the full size luxury SUV first debuted in 1999, essentially as an up-level GMC Yukon. Now in its third generation, the Escalade still shares underpinnings with the Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe, but it features unique exterior styling, a more luxurious interior and a more powerful engine compared with its platform mates that allows it to compete with prestigious rivals such as the Mercedes Benz GL-class and Infiniti QX56.
All Escalades are powered by a 6.2-liter Vortec V8 with variable valve timing, good for 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque, and are equipped with a 6-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission with driver shift control. Rear wheel drive is standard, while all wheel drive can be selected as an option.
The Escalade comes standard with a full leather and wood trimmed interior, a Bose 5.1 surround sound system, and a road sensing suspension that features computer controlled real-time damping. The second row can be configured with either a bench or bucket seats.
An Ultra Luxury Collection package is optional, featuring extras such as heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, and a DVD navigation system. Also included are niceties such as power folding second row seats, a rearview backup camera, and enormous 22-inch 7-spoke chromed aluminum wheels sure to satisfy customers looking for extra bling.
The Escalade's safety features include dual front impact airbags as well as side curtain airbags for the first, second, and third rows. To prevent collisions, the Escalade is equipped with a StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation and traction control that applies brake pressure or cuts engine speed to regain traction.
