70 Percent Of Cadillac ATS Buyers With Trade-Ins New To The Brand
Cadillac’s U.S. sales were up by 37 percent in October, fueled by gaining momentum on the West Coast and by demand for the all-new XTS and ATS sedans. Now in its third month of sales, the XTS found a home with 2,000 new buyers last month, while the ATS saw sales climb steadily in its first...

The purpose of front and rear bumpers on automobiles is self-explanatory: at low impact speeds, bumpers are supposed to absorb energy and prevent body damage to a vehicle. In that regard, they’re passive safety devices, coming into play only when a low-speed accident occurs. The best kind of bumper, then, would be an active one that prevented you from having a collision in the first place. Enter Cadillac’s Front and Rear Automatic Braking system, which acts as a “virtual bumper” to prevent accidents instead of just minimizing accident damage. Available on ATS, XTS and...

2012 Cadillac SRX: Driven
The 2012 Cadillac SRX seems at least in one respect to be going against the grain. As a number of luxury vehicles have had engines downsized—and even the BMW 5-Series is going four-cylinder, for instance—Cadillac has instead swapped a larger engine, with slightly worse gas mileage, into its SRX...

General Motors has issued a recall for 47,000 Cadillac SRX models, due to an issue with the crossover's side aribags. According to a post on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the head airbag on the passenger side will not inflate in a crash if there is no passenger in the seat. That could leave a right-side rear-seat passenger in a vulnerable position in a front- or side-impact crash. Dealers will reprogram the airbag sensors in order to remedy the problem, at no charge. Notices will be mailed to owners beginning today. The issue affects 2011 SRXs...

Jewel Is Alive And Well, Thanks To Her Cadillac SRX
We haven't heard much from Jewel in a while, and many of us were beginning to think that she might've headed off to a retirement Vanagon somewhere in Alaska, bringing her chapter in American pop music (and her brief footnote in American poetry) to an end. But now we know that Jewel is still alive...

Cadillac SRX To Get Bigger V-6
Earlier this year, Cadillac dropped the 2.8-liter turbocharged V-6 engine option from its SRX crossover. There was some curiosity about the move, since the 2.8-liter six offered much improved performance compared to the 3.0-liter V-6 that is currently standard equipment in the SRX. Well, wonder no...

Just a few weeks ago we reported on GM deciding to ditch the 2.8-liter turbocharged engine in the Cadillac SRX and stick with its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V-6 as the luxury crossover’s sole engine option. We now have an update on those reports, with news today claiming the 3.0-liter V-6 will also be replaced with a single 3.6-liter V-6 codenamed the LFX. You may recall that the LFX is also reported to feature in the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, and now GM Inside News is claiming the engine is also destined for the 2012 Cadillac SRX. The new V-6 engine’s full codename is “LFX...

Cadillac Cans The SRX Turbo, No One Notices
So a turbo V-6 Cadillac sounds like a great idea, right? How about if we stick a fairly tall, soft suspension under it, give it a crossover body and pair it with an automatic only? Not so much, eh? That's apparently what buyers of the Cadillac SRX felt, as well, as the 2.8-liter turbo model saw a...
