I don’t know if you saw the news yesterday (you were probably busy, it’s FINE, no no, we get it), but Cadillac has decided that the 550-horsepower CT6 V-Sport, which was supposed to sort of be a diet version of Cadillac’s full-fat high-performance “V” line, is now just going to be called a full-on CT6-V. That sounded…
Sit down, kids, because I’ve got some good new and bad news. The good news is that Cadillac has plans to expand its performance-focused V-series sub brand. The bad news is that the era of two perennial Jalopnik staff favorites is coming to and end. Update: GM reached out and said that the ATS-V and CTS-V actually will…
A collusion investigation regarding diesels, our robotic future, an American renaissance and more await you in this is The Morning Shift for Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018.
In the 1990s, Cadillac was in a transition period, attempting to move from making soft, luxuriant motorized living rooms to making more modern, better-handling cars that could, maybe if you really squint and take some pills, have competed with BMWs or Mercedes. This was a sort of adolescence for modern Cadillac, and…
The 2019 Cadillac XT4 is late to the game. It is only Cadillac’s third crossover entry on Day 6,419 of the SUV/crossover onslaught and comes at a time when probably most of Cadillac’s competitors are far ahead in the Big Cars race. So it’s got some catching up to do. Fortunately, it’s a luxury crossover with an…
There was a period in the recent past where it looked like the future might be powered by diesel engines. With a generally greater fuel efficiency than your standard gasoline engine, the automotive industry today could have been massively different. Then, Dieselgate happened and manufacturers got a little hesitant…
Late last month, a 75-year-old Cleveland man got stuck in his hot Cadillac XLR for 14 hours after an issue with the car’s electrical system rendered the power door release buttons useless. The ordeal had the man convinced he was going to die, the Washington Post reports.
I grew up in Michigan, which is Canada Lite, and made a lot of bad decisions fueled by the kind of canned Canadian swill they call beer. I certainly had a lot more of the Labatt variety than Molson, but they’re basically the same when push comes to shove. If I’d had access to a Cadillac Limo and a sno cat, I probably…
“We goin’ ridin’ on the freeway of love in my pink Cadillac,” the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, sang in her hit 1985 song “Freeway of Love.” So it’s only fitting that over 100 Cadillacs are lining up right now, just outside of her funeral in Detroit on Friday, NPR reports.
General Motors has finally allowed Cadillac to build its own engines again, rather than use already existing ones from the other brands. The result was the twin-turbocharged, 4.2-liter “hot-vee” V8, which will be found in the 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport. Here’s how it will be different than the other V8s.
While the regular Cadillac ATS wasn’t much of a success despite being a good driver’s car, the ATS-V remained a favorite of this website. The ATS sedan is being discontinued but the ATS-V coupe will live on for 2019 with a price increase, one that sort of saves you money if you like carbon fiber.
Genesis, Hyundai’s new luxury brand, recently launched the third member of its lineup, the 2019 Genesis G70 luxury sports sedan. It’s a wonderful car, but its presence orients Genesis’ current trajectory eerily in the direction of Cadillac’s: heavy on sedans and too light on the SUVs and crossovers that everyone is…
A Florida-based coachbuilder that specializes in turning hard-top cars into convertibles got its hands on a 464-horsepower Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, and morphed it into something amazing—a convertible. Here’s how the company did it, from reinforcing the unibody to custom-forming the top to yield the perfect shape.
A design patent granted on July 3 to GM Global Technology Operations for a “VEHICLE BODY EXTERIOR” shows images of an athletic, sleek-looking coupe that many believe will be the all-new Cadillac CT5 Coupe. While we’re not certain of that, it is an interesting design that will give Cadillac a type of sporty car it’s…
The first Cadillac Escalade came out in 1999, and it was a bland, pointless Lincoln Navigator competitor that was basically indistinguishable from a GMC Yukon Denali. But the Escalade’s first revision, with its chunky fender flares and face like a knight’s helmet, remains a glorious moment for luxury SUVs.
So often we tie our cars to the great events in our lives. This is my story.
The one million dollars that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo granted to Cadillac in order to renovate its SoHo headquarters didn’t sit well with everyone. GOP gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro criticized the governor today, calling the grant “preposterous.”
Cadillac, the crown jewel of American luxury cars, is staying in New York City after all.
Dearest One True Space Boy Elon Musk: I have located a suitable vehicle to act as your next test payload for when you want to shoot another car into space. It is a Cadillac SRX, but I think everyone will agree that it needs to be fired directly into the sun after a two-and-a-half-foot-long snake crawled out of one of…
