Cadillac may not have a New York City building named after it like Chrysler does, but the General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] luxury division now has its own house in the Big Apple. Just what does that mean? Taking up the ground floor of the division's New York City headquarters is a 12,000-square-foot permanent exhibition called Cadillac House. It's designed to show off the brand's style in a multi-use space. Although there will be plenty of Cadillacs present, the automaker hopes they will be more part of the background than the space's main draw. ALSO SEE: American muscle doesn't meet top IIHS...

Texas tuner Hennessey Performance's new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V performance packages once again blend the company's penchant for power with a more refined, luxurious package. Only this time, they are faster and more luxurious.

To get to that point, the Houston-based firm made some modifications to the stock supercharger's pulley system and added a high-performance induction setup, long-tube stainless steel headers, stainless steel mid-pipes...

Cadillac’s Escalade is big and brash and that’s exactly what its customers are demanding. Those customers are also happy that the vehicle features body-on-frame construction, as opposed to car-like unibody construction many rival full-size luxury SUVs rely on. These attributes won’t be changing when the Escalade is redesigned, according to Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen. What will be changing, though, is the level of sophistication and technology.

Cadillac CT6 To Get A V-8, But Don't Expect A V-Series Model
Cadillac has a new line-topping model in the CT6. It's sized like a BMW 7-Series, but doesn't offer V-8 or V-12 power like the 7-Series and other large German sedans.
