With the reveal of the 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport on Wednesday, the luxury brand announced the Surround Vision Recorder as an available feature on the 2018 CT6. The system isn't exactly on par with aftermarket dash cams, but it does nail many of the basics. The Surround Vision Recorder will record either a front or a rear view while driving, not both, though the driver can change the view on the fly. The driver also has to...

When it arrived as a 2016 model, Cadillac’s CT6 ushered in a new naming strategy for the brand and marked the first use of the lightweight, aluminum-infused Omega platform for large, rear-wheel-drive cars at General Motors.

Tasty margins and a willing audience make full-size luxury SUVs a cutthroat business. And we don't mean it in the "friendly afternoon soccer game way," either. Think Michael Douglas in "Wall Street."

The new Navigator is nearing dealer lots and General Motors would love to take wind out of its sails. Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the incentive is part of a concerted effort to keep GM's market share in an effort to stem a...
