After just a few years on the market, the China-built Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid will be no more. Likely killed by new trade tariffs between the U.S. and China and probably lackluster sales, I’m not sure it will really be missed.
We know Cadillac is going through a bit of a reorganization at the moment, as it tries to walk back all the #brand stuff former CEO Johan de Nysschen has done over the last few years to focus on SUVs and crossovers. But this image sent to us of an alleged Cadillac key fob is absolutely bewildering as to what kind of…
General Motors seems hellbent on tearing down the house that former Cadillac CEO Johan de Nysschen built, and now, according to the Wall Street Journal, that includes the $1,800 a month Book by Cadillac subscription car program.
Yes, I did an emoji in the headline because a brown Cadillac warrants that. As a loving send-off to the third generation of its V-Series performance models, Cadillac will build 300 special Pedestal Edition models of the 2019 ATS-V and CTS-V. The paint isn’t called brown, it’s called “Bronze Sand Metallic” but it sure…
The Acura Integra was a legendary front-wheel drive, VTEC-engine’d sports car that could pretty much out-handle anything in its class. So this red example for sale on Classiccars.com would still be cool if it were totally stock. But it’s even cooler because it isn’t, thanks to a huge turbocharged, carbureted V8 engine…
When Cadillac isn’t busy trying to sort out its strategy for the future again amid a move back to Michigan from New York, it’s posting a whole bunch of potential hints at what’s cooking behind closed doors in photos on the Cadillac XT4 website, including an XT4 V-Sport and a mystery coupe.
Semi-autonomous features are increasingly prevalent in cars these days but also, as many have argued (including myself) possibly very dangerous. Today, Consumer Reports published their rankings of four of the most widely known semiautonomous systems, finding that Cadillac’s Super Cruise was the best and Volvo’s, well,…
This week’s Meh Car Monday is sort of a counterpart to another recent Meh Car, the Cadillac Catera. Where the Catera was an American brand looking to Europe to find a car that would be more exciting to Americans, the Cadillac BLS was an American brand taking a European car and trying to sell it to Europeans, but…
Tesla without Elon Musk, Cadillac’s reinvented reinvention, Ford’s workers could take a hit, Audi may finally ditch a guy in jail and much, much more for The Morning Shift on Friday, Sept. 28, 2018. Hoo boy it’s Tesla time again.
“There is no city in the world where the inhabitants are more immersed in a premium lifestyle than in New York,” now-former Cadillac CEO Johan de Nysschen told The Wall Street Journal in 2014. And truly, the same can be said of the company’s new hometown, Warren. In Michigan. Just look at the picture above, and bask…
After almost four years since Cadillac controversially moved its headquarters to trendy SoHo in New York City, its new boss has decided to move the luxury brand back home to the General Motors headquarters in Detroit. Because you can never, ever, truly leave Mother.
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…
