This is a NO Reserve Auction, dont't miss your opportunity to own a great car with lots of potential.Classic Bustle Back Cadillac Seville.  Cadillac was taking chances in the 1980s switching to front-wheel-drive adding technology like fuel injection and of course creating cars like this stunning 1985 Seville. The design didn't catch on with everyone for those few who appreciate the design it's the epitome of 1980s elegance and style. The influence of Rolls-Royce styling is undeniable and the clipped trunk recalls the designs of Hooper in the 1950s when it was called razor-edge styling. The Seville's broad front end and spacious greenhouse actually works better than most of the frumpy Rolls-Royce designs. This is an excellent survivor with great body lines and the stainless trim that stretches the length of the body and further emphasizes the trunk. And no car from the early '80s is complete without a lot of chrome including heavy bumpers. The blue cloth interior is simply spectacular in a 1980s kind of way. This is what luxury looked and felt like 30 years ago and to be honest it's pretty cool. Tufted  seats lots of stretch-out room deep pile carpets and enough sound-deadening for a radio station mean that it's as comfortable and hushed as an English gentlemen's club.  Everything was standard equipment on Cadillac's top-of-the-line machine including power windows locks and seats automatic climate control a tilt column and cruise control. And lest you think that abbreviated trunk profile hampers cargo space guess again because somehow the trunk is quite cavernous. Cadillac's 4.1-liter V8 engine is smooth and torquey if not a tire-shredding monster. It moves the front-wheel-drive Seville with ease and goes about its business unobtrusively and actually pulls down .decent fuel economy.  The front-wheel-drive system has proven itself over the decades and the traction offered by the system will impress you should the weather turn nasty.  The all-independent suspension rides well there's a disc brake at each corner  this car is still an awesome highway cruiser for road trips. Handsome Chrome Wire Wheels are a nice touch.  Not a lot of these have survived so if you're one of those guys who loved the look perhaps this is your chance to own a car with great potential.  The drivetrain is in very good condition, it has been well maintained over the years. I have owned this car for over 10 years.

Cadillac abandons plans for six-digit flagship sedan

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment.
Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

Thu, 30 May 2013

Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.
