It died last month when it was announced the …

Although sedans aren’t dead, they’re very ill. Trucks and SUVs have expanded their market dominance to the point they’re running out of uncovered segments.

General Motors makes decisions in a time/space netherworld we mortals know nothing about. While we look upon many of its historic brands with reverence, it looks to them as only names bonked onto an ever devolving line of subcompact mushmobiles. What once stood for performance, style, engineering excellence, or desirable transportation in its simplest form, …

You can’t make this up. Back in October, GM issued a recall of almost 550,000 vehicles for brake issues. It covered Cadillac CT6 sedans, Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 pickups; all from 2019.

Researching your next vehicle isn’t enough on its own.

Cadillac was planning on debuting its new all-electric crossover at the 2020 CES show next month. Now it has announced it is backing out of the show. The reason is that because of the UAW strike it wouldn’t be able to get it done in time. We can only speculate that problems in development made …

The minestrone soup model identification days of Cadillac may mercifully be coming to an end. And it won’t be soon enough for many. The alpha-numeric mumbo jumbo naming practices that has seen an “XT5” sold next to an “XTS” will be dumped as Cadillac dives into the all-electric portfolio it outlined today.  What was supposed …

With the auto manufacturer’s zeal to build everything truck, there is one type of truck they’re not building that seems like a no-brainer. In the US we know them as El Camino and Ranchero. In Australia, they’re known as “Utes.” Whatever it’s called, car/trucks are coming back soon as at least two manufacturers look to …

Once known as the ‘Standard of the World,’ Cadillac has slowly been re-establishing its reputation as an American luxury icon. These days, it’s easy to poke fun at its land yachts of the past, as well as its confusing naming system and low sales numbers. But if you drive its cars, Cadillac really can be …

It’s always fun to look back and see what some of our favorite American cars sold for new, and what that same price would be in 2019 dollars.
