Cadillac Continues Development of New ELR Extended-Range Coupe


We know what some of you may be thinking; since General Motors revealed the production version of its Cadillac ELR extended range hybrid at last month's Detroit Auto Show, shouldn't it be ready to go on sale?

Well, it's actually fairly common for automakers to display production models at auto shows around the world without having completed the final development and testing stages. The ELR is one such example, as it will be another year before it arrives in showrooms.

Spied on the Road: The 2014 Cadillac Escalade


Cadillac's most expensive model series, the Escalade, is getting old and GM knows it. The numbers speak for themselves with the regular Escalade seeing its sales drop by 16.3 percent last year; from 15,079 units in 2011 to 12,615, the long wheelbase ESV by -3.6 percent to 8,083 deliveries and the EXT pickup truck version by -5.0 percent to 1,934 units.

The General isn't sitting with its arms crossed, though, as work on the fourth generation of Cadillac's full-size premium SUV is reaching its end.

Why is This Man Freaking Out Screaming "Kill Me" and "Sprechen Sie Deutsch"? [NSFW]


Just so you don't start thinking that Russia is the only country in the world where crazy things happen on the road, here's a bizarre incident that took place in Rochester, Michigan.

For the record, we first stumbled upon a version of the video uploaded on YouTube today, but upon further research, we discovered an older edition uploaded by a user nicknamed "onetwodo2001" in April of 2011, which we believe to be the original (if we're wrong, send us a message).

The driver with the camera slows down when he sees a white Cadillac DTS that had exited the road at the point where a black Corvette had pulled (?) over.

New Cadillac ATS 3.6 vs. BMW 335i and Mercedes C350 in MT's 6-Cylinder Rematch


Like the VW Golf, the BMW 3-Series has been dominant for so long, shrugging off one newcomer after another, that it practically defined the premium compact sports sedan segment.

This, of course, makes it not only harder for BMW engineers to come up with something better every time there's a replacement due, but it also makes it the car all rivaling manufacturers have set as their benchmark.

Cadillac has made quite a fuss about its new ATS being a bona-fide, Nürburgring-bred sports saloon that can take on the best – i.e. the brand new, F30 3-Series.

Two Cadillac Escalades Following their Boss in a Maybach Collide with Each Other and an Audi A4


Convoys of two, three or more cars following either a government official or one of the wealthy capitalists that emerged in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, is nothing new, but watching these vehicles crash into each other is something we don't get to see very often, if at all.

According to the date displayed on the dashcam video, an incident of this sort happened last Friday, October 19, when what we assume to be the security personnel riding in Cadillac Escalade SUVs were trying to keep up to their boss who was in a black Maybach saloon, while also prohibiting any other vehicles from breaking their formation.

Cadillac ATS 2.0L Turbo Loses Another Test Against BMW 328i, this Time by Car&Driver


The new BMW 328i (F30) has clinched another victory in a comparison test against General Motors' newcomer in the category, the 2013 Cadillac ATS with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, again on its American rival's turf.

After Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman gave the upper hand to the 328i, his colleague at Car & Driver magazine Jared Gall did the same, as he also found the BMW to be a better choice overall.

MT Compares Cadillac ATS Against BMW 3-Series: And the Winner Is….


If there is one car that General Motors' newly launched Cadillac ATS compact sports sedan has to prove its worth to, it is the model that has defined the category in every possible way for more than 20 years: the BMW 3-Series sedan.

And it is these two sport sedans that Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman brings together for a driving comparison in the latest episode of "Head 2 Head". The cars of choice are the Cadillac ATS with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and the BMW 328i.

The latest iteration of the BMW 3-Series, codenamed F30, has a lot in common with Cadillac's second attempt in the segment after the poorly received and executed (Saab 9-3-based) BLS, which was sold in Europe and Russia.

Scoop: 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan Filmed Racing Around the Nordschleife


There's no place like the Nürburgring Nordschleife when it comes to testing and honing the handling dynamics of a vehicle, something that even General Motors has long accepted.

And now, with Cadillac having turned most of its guns directly towards BMW, the wreath and crest brand is increasing its presence on the fabled circuit, which recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Spied in this video is the next generation of the Cadillac CTS that was captured on film being thrashed around the 'Ring.

Can the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Match Up to the New 2013 BMW M5 Saloon? [w/Poll]


From the moment BMW decided to place the M badge on its 5-Series sedan back in the mid-1980s, the M5 immediately created its own niche in the executive saloon segment. In fact, it become so popular that many the Bavarian firm's rivals followed its example in the years that came after the original M5's launch.

Perhaps one of the more surprising challengers was GM's Cadillac CTS-V, the first generation of which was presented in 2004 before it was replaced by the current model in 2008.
