Cadillac Model Lineup
|
Cadillac CTS
|
Seeing the import brands gaining ground in the near-luxury category, Cadillac made a countering move in 1997 with a repackaged rear-drive Opel known as the Catera. The stealth-aircraft-inspired styling of the CTS is a blend of both forward-thinking design and traditional Cadillac style.

Wheels. Audacious, chromed, crazy-large wheels. You walk up to Cadillac's new Escalade and tap the remote to unlock it, and your eyes are immediately drawn to the optional twenty-two-inch wheels.

We had already named the Cadillac SRX an Automobile Magazine All-Star before we decided to live with one for a year. Then, halfway through our Four Seasons test, we named the SRX an All-Star for a second time. That should give you a clue about what we think of

Cadillac STS
|
Cadillac's current-generation STS was the first to use a rear-wheel-drive chassis, which at last put it on equal footing with big-name players such as the Mercedes-Benz E-class, the Lexus GS, and the BMW 5-series. That's very tough competition and, at the midp

Cadillac XLR
|
The XLR-V is Cadillac's most expensive model to date, costing some $23,000 more than the next priciest Cadillac, the STS-V, and it's a huge risk for a division still in the midst of mustering a credible threat to the European luxury marques. But the focus cann

Cadillac Company Overview
One of the oldest marques in the world, the Cadillac Automobile Company was founded in 1902 by several former Ford supporters and engineer Henry Leland. The name is from Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, Michigan. William C. Durant, founder of Chevrolet and General Motors, purchased the company in 1909 and placed it on top of his multi-car pyramid.
The brand was synonymous with advanced and precision engineering both in the U.S. and the world. Cadillac pioneered such technologies as manual transmission with synchronizers; safety glass; and innovations as standard electric start and V-8 engines.

One of the oldest marques in the world, the Cadillac Automobile Company was founded in 1902 by several former Ford supporters and engineer Henry Leland. The name is from Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, Michigan. William C. Durant, founder of Chevrolet and General Motors, purchased the company in 1909 and placed it on top of his multi-car pyramid.
The brand was synonymous with advanced and precision engineering both in the U.S. and the world. Cadillac pioneered such technologies as manual transmission with synchronizers; safety glass; and innovations as standard electric start and V-8 engines.
The late Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties shook the luxury marque. The 1973 fuel crisis, government regulation, style changes, and increased competition from German and Japanese automakers pushed Cadillac further from consumers' want lists. Cadillac tried to regain its technological edge, for example, with the variable displacement engine, the V8-6-4, which would shut down or activate cylinders depending on driving conditions. The technology proved unreliable, however.
The Cadillac Cimarron, on the other hand, was aimed at younger buyers eyeing the BMW 3-Series. Unfortunately, most perceived it to be a fancier version of sibling Chevrolet's Cavalier (which it was).
Cadillac's fortunes began to turn in 1999 with the release of the first generation Cadillac Escalade, the marque's first SUV. But sales skyrocketed with the introduction of the CTS in 2003: the sedan's sharp-lined "Arts and Science" origami designs made it a stand out among competitors. Other vehicles, from the XLR roadster to the revamped Escalade, share in the new design.
Cadillac recently announced it is developing a coupe version of the CTS as well as a wagon.
