1990 Cadillac Allante. This is a great car, lots of fun. Champagne Frost Metallic with a tan leather interior. 150k miles on her and everything works! Dash is bright, radio plays....everything.
This is a rare girl. Designed by Pinin Farina and built on the worlds longest production line (started in Turin Italy and finished in Detroit Michigan), she is a cousin to the Ferraris of the same time frame. With 23k cars built over a 7 year period, the Allante Owners Club estimates fewer than 12k left on the road. She is a 2nd gen car with the exception of the top which still has manual pull downs (yep, using up parts) which means she is a rare "transition" car. This is a blessing in disguise as the electric ones stink. This beast just had 1300 bucks worth of air conditioning work done at Car Tech here in Indy. They are known as the Cadillac Specialists and really looked this girl over. New hoses, new air and top cables repaired and adjusted. She has new wheels and tires from Discount Tire 2 months ago, plus the factory units. This beast also has the color matched aluminum hardtop with stand.
She has a couple of door dings and a few scratches, plus shows evidence of a bit of paintwork here and there, but her Carfax is clean (no accidents) and shows all local service (Lockhart Cadillac, Tutweiller Cadillac, O'Brien Group). The previous owner had a new transmission put in at 142k (Aamco...all papers). I also just replaced the battery. All receipts come with the car.
The interior needs a couple of bolsters replaced, as well as the arm rest recovered and the shift knob refinished. This was quoted at about 600 bucks at a local custom upholstery shop here in Indy. Also, the soft top was not folded properly and has the dreaded holes from the frame arms. A new top would be in order to be pristine, but she doesn't leak badly. It's good enough to drive with it down and toss it up when a storm pops in.
This car runs and drives great. The 4.5 Caddy pulls like a mule and it handles like a slot car. The Italian heritage shows through, but the Cadillac drivetrain is a winner all the way.
This is a good solid car that looks like a million bucks, but is cheap enough to be driven every day and enjoyed. Hey, it's a car....it's supposed to be driven. But it is an aluminum bodied sports car and that means rare. CarFax lists a suggested price add of $1600 because of complete maintenance history. Look up the NADA and bid accordingly.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico
Fri, 29 Aug 2014It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
Cadillac flagship, possible production Elimiraj, caught testing
Fri, 30 Aug 2013One of the biggest debuts at the Monterey car week, both literally and figuratively, was the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept. The massive coupe made quite a splash with the show's well-heeled guests. Now, we have what might be the very first images of the Elmiraj, or whatever it may be called when it reaches production, out testing.
Don't let that modified Chevrolet Caprice body fool you, this car is about four to six inches longer than Chevy's US-spec cop car, from the A-pillar forward. According to our spy, with the Caprice at 203 inches and the concept at 205, adding a few extra inches here and there fits the bill for the four-door Elmiraj that was hinted at in Jay Leno's Garage.
There are a number of other classic mule signs on this car, including a cover over the fuel door and heavily modified front and rear fascias, each of which serves to hide some significant change from the standard Caprice. Using a Caprice for development also, hopefully, hints at something that big Cadillacs like the XTS have lacked - rear-wheel drive.
2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport
Mon, 30 Sep 2013Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship.
In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for that line by default. But unlike the CTS Vsport, which uses rear-wheel-drive architecture and is focused on driving dynamics above all, the XTS is geared toward a much different customer.
The entire XTS experience is far more concerned with plush comfort than handling prowess, and while this Vsport model certainly ups the ante with more power and some mild suspension and steering tweaks, it's not exactly what we'd call a particularly engaging experience. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.
