I AM NOT PARTICULARLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT DOING THIS LISTING FOR MY 1966 CALAIS COUPE. YOU SEE, I HAVE A SMALL COLLECTION OF CLASSIC CARS AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY CADILLAC HERE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AS MY DAILY DRIVER TO MAKE SURE IT GETS EXERCISED PROPERLY, AND EVERY DAY I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT I FALL DEEPER AND DEEPER IN LOVE, SO THAT UNLESS I MAKE A SALE EFFORT, I WILL END UP KEEPING IT FOREVER. THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL, BUT STORAGE BECOMES AN ISSUE WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH TOO MANY CARS. WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE. SO HERE IT IS UP FOR SALE, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT SIMPLY CONTINUES TO IMPRESS AND AMAZE ME EVERY DAY, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THE BLACK EXTERIOR WITH BLUE INTERIOR IS AN EXTREMELY UNUSUAL AND STRIKING COMBINATION, BUT WHAT DOES NEED ARTICULATION IS THE FACT THAT THE TEMP GAUGE, GAS GAUGE, FM RADIO, POWER ANTENNA, WINDOWS ALL WORK INCREDIBLY WELL. SHE STARTS, RUNS, DRIVES AS IF THE SUN WERE RISING ABOVE THE HORIZON EVERY TIME I SLIDE MYSELF IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. HER 429 PUTS OUT TORQUE AND POWER APLENTY, SO SHE MOVES LIKE AN OLYMPIC GYMNAST BETWEEN THE WHITE LINES. FOR ME, TURNING THE KEY IS AN INSPIRATIONAL EXPERIENCE. THERE'S NOT A THING I WOULDN'T DO WITH THIS CADILLAC OR A PLACE I WOULDN'T DRIVE. I'D THROW A BAG IN THE BACKSEAT AND DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN A HEARTBEAT. ASK ME WHAT YOU'D LIKE, BUT KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE HECK OF A CAR. PLEASE DON'T BID SO I GET TO KEEP HER! |

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.

2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 18 Jun 2013While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.
