  • 298 drivers break the Guinness World Record for the biggest Cadillac parade

    On the same day of the announcement of production plans for the very modern ELR coupe, Cadillac chose to make a very different announcement, though one almost as special. The automaker announced that a parade of old Cadillacs, including some vintage cars, had smashed the Guinness World Record for the number of Cadillac models in a single parade. A total of 298 Cadillacs took part yesterday in a parade to open the Orleans County Fair in Barton, Vermont. Local, Lorie Seadale originally cooked up the idea of the Cadillac parade as a way to increase awareness of the annual event and as a way to...

    Guilty Pleasure: Cadillac Allanté

    We just honored--if that's the word--a Cadillac with Guilty Pleasure status a few weeks back, but I've been thinking about the fantastic expense racked up by GM by flying the Allanté's Pininfarina-built bodies from Italy to Detroit in modified-for-the-purpose 747s... and the miserable (yet...

    Top Gear USA Season 2 Premiere: Reader Review

    Last night, I ate some frozen pizza (definitely not delivery...) goofed around on my new Android tablet, drove a few dozen miles in the CTS-V Coupe I have in the driveway and generally forgot completely about the season two premiere of Top Gear USA. In other words, I had fun. If you found yourself...

    Guilty Pleasure: 1980-85 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

    Sorry about the lateness of this installment of Guilty Pleasures; I got dragged off to some madness in Michigan and am only now getting caught up on my worship of cars I shouldn't want but do want.

    Why The Cadillac SRX Plug-In Hybrid Was Killed: The Full Story

    Earlier this week, the news of the Cadillac SRX plug-in hybrid's pre-production demise spread quickly, followed a few days later by talk of why, including a source that blamed the battery and a lack of efficiency. High Gear Media's John Voelcker dug deeper to uncover the full story on why it was...

  • 2011 Cadillac SRX

    Nearly a year ago, buzz about a plug-in hybrid Cadillac SRX stirred the automotive Web, and early this year GM CEO Dan Akerson said a plug-in SRX was "likely." Then this week Cadillac, seemingly out of the blue, reportedly killed the program. Why? According to Nick Saporito at GM Inside News, the answer is efficiency, or rather, a lack of it. The SRX plug-in hybrid was to use a variation on the jointly developed Two Mode hybrid drivetrain, equipped with a lithium ion battery pack in place of the standard nickel metal hydride pack. But the efficiency gains from the battery change weren't as...
