Given the enormously impressive CTS-V package, who can blame them?inline_mediumwraptextright28543591/features/news/1003_2011_cadillac_cts_v_sport_wagon2011-cadillac-CTS-v-sport-wagon-front-three-quarters-driver.jpgTrue

Read moreGeneral Motors has to have the most underrated navigation system in the business. We have other automakers advertising various touch pads, voice recognition systems, and scrolling wheels that are supposed to make finding a destination on the fly easier – assuming the vehicle doesn’t lock out the nav screen altogether when you’re moving. But in this Cadillac, all I had to do was press the blue OnStar button. That called up this innovative device called a “human being,” who found my destination for me and sent turn-by-turn directions to my vehicle. I never had to look away from the road and didn’t need to read the owners manual to find the correct voice commands. This feature is available, by the way, even if you don’t have a nav system (the directions come through your radio display). In case I’m not being clear enough, this is a HUGE step up from most competitors’ telematics, and yet I’ll bet very few consumers know about all its features. GM’s new marketing chief – whoever that happens to be this week – must make a more concerted effort to share OnStar’s virtues with customers.inline_mediumwraptextright32629821/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_cadillac_srx_turbo_awd_premium1003_03_z+2010_cadillac_sRX_turbo_aWD_premium+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

When Susan Docherty was marketing manager for the Escalade SUV in the late 1990s, Cadillac was shifting its brand positioning to what it called “art and science.” It worked pretty well, too.
Read moreCadillac’s 110-year trek from its initial existence as the Detroit Automobile Company has been a long, hard trip. From rising to be the “Standard of the World” it fell to the depths in the Cimarron era and is again on the way up, attaining, if not yet the pinnacle of the motor industry, at least genuine respectability. The XTS Platinum concept shown in January closely foreshadows a promising new addition to the range that will replace both the front-wheel-drive DTS and the rear-wheel-drive STS. It benefits from an exquisite interior equal to any luxury car’s but suffers a major weakness: the pug-nose, front-wheel-drive look imposed by the transverse-engine platform.inline_mediumwraptextright26875931/features/by_design/1004_cadillac_xts_platinum_concept_design_analysis1004_01_z+cadillac_xTS_platinum_concept+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

The Cadillac CTS coupe is a car for realists. Sure, it looks like a concept car that took a wrong turn leaving the convention center, but, in fact, it’s an entirely logical and even conservative step in a brand renaissance that’s changing course. After a decade in which Cadillac reached for the stars with sexy halo models and pie-in-the-sky concepts like the Sixteen, General Motors’ luxury division is adjusting its ambitions to reflect new realities. So, whereas Cadillac’s last two-door car, the now-defunct, Corvette-based XLR, was an ambitious, low-volume sports car with an oversize price, the CTS coupe is a natural progression of the brand’s most successful model. Since it shares its sheetmetal from the cowl forward and almost all of its mechanical components with the CTS sedan and wagon, the coupe is an easy way for GM to target a segment currently dominated by BMW, Infiniti, and Audi.inline_mediumwraptextright26855348/reviews/driven/1004_2011_cadillac_cts_coupe1004_04_z+2011_cadillac_cTS_coupe+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

ASSOCIATE EDITOR JONATHAN WONG: And the hits keep coming from Cadillac. Following all the great CTS variants to spill out from Caddy, it continues the trend with this SRX Turbo.
Read moreCadillac’s SRX has grown beyond its sporty wagon pretensions and is now targeting the heart of the luxury crossover market. The strategy seems to be working, as it’s already selling much better than the outgoing model (which, we should note, won a few Automobile Magazine All-Star awards in its time), and yet, it seems Cadillac isn’t quite ready to give up on having some high-roof fun. To that end, the premium model featured here has ditched the wheezy base 3.0-liter V-6 and standard front-wheel-drive configuration in favor of a turbocharged, 2.8-liter V-6 producing 300 hp and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive – the same setup found in the Saab 9-3 Aero and Opel Insignia OPC. Given these macho specs, we thought it was time to measure the SRX against the best in its class, which, in our estimation, means the Audi Q5. The Q5 won our three-way crossover shootout last year and has since become a well-regarded member of our Four Seasons fleet for its sporting demeanor, handsome exterior, and, yes, Audi-like interior. Does it have what it takes to fend off the brasher and more powerful Cadillac? Read on for our impressions.
