<title><![CDATA[Cadillac CTS-V : V POWERFUL]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Cadillac is aiming high with its CTS-V super saloon. Steve Walker reports.As a general rule, it's best to avoid getting into a `mine's bigger than yours' type of contest with the Americans. They'll invariably take things to such an extreme that everyone else is forced to back down before it all gets a bit silly. These are a people that love large in all its forms so it makes sense that the American car brand best known for its upscale ostentation should be represented in a sector of the market where overkill is essential. Say a big howdy to the Cadillac CTS-V super saloon.The Germans have been happily indulging in their own private game of performance saloon one-upmanship for a long time now. The concept of packing as much power as will fit into an everyday executive saloon car has turned into a matter of honour for BMW, Mercedes and Audi. The result has been a succession of monstrously quick cars, the latest crop all offering something north of 500bhp. Audi looked to have finally gone as far as anyone would dare with its 572bhp RS6 but the arms race could be about to start hotting up again with Cadillac's entry into the fray. The CTS-V is the performance version of the Cadillac CTS executive saloon, a car that has largely gone unnoticed by UK buyers since its arrival on these shores. If anything can deliver the oxygen of publicity to the lesser models in the range, you'd bank on the CTS-V. Power comes from a 6.2-litre V8 engine which develops 556bhp. It can't match the power output of the mighty Audi RS6 but it does eclipse that behemoth when it comes to torque. The RS6 develops 650Nm of twisting force at its peak but CTS-V smashes that figure with 747Nm. It means that this full-size executive car can cover the 0-60mph sprint in 3.9 seconds - faster than a BMW M5, an Audi RS6 or a Mercedes E63 AMG. With no speed limiter to speak of, the manual version of the CTS-V will hit 191mph."there's no denying that the CTS-V makes a compelling proposition on paper"Where the CTS-V will be expected to fall down is in the handling department. The Americans have a history of cars that can fire themselves down a straight like a bat out of hell but behave more like a rhino on roller-skates when presented with a corner. The CTS-V could be an exception, however. The car has achieved a lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under eight minutes, breaking the barrier that is generally held up as the golden standard for serious performance cars. The Nurburgring is widely regarded as the truest test there is of a car's handling capabilities and more poignantly, it's home turf for the German manufacturers which the CTS-V is so intent on putting the wind up. The dimensions of the CTS place is above the compact executive contenders like BMW's 3-Series and the Mercedes C-Class in terms of size but it's a little smaller than executive cars like the 5-Series from BMW and Audi's A6. This sits the CTS-V in a similar position within the performance saloon market, larger than an M3 or a C63 AMG but smaller than the M5 and RS6 which are closer to it in terms of the power they offer. Where it leaves no room for doubt is in its styling where the angular lines of the CTS and accentuated with deep spoilers and side skirts, the wheelarches packed with oversize alloys. The CTS-V also incorporates Cadillac's MRC Magnetic Ride Control technology which uses electro magnets to instantly adjust the firmness of the suspension according to the mode selected by the driver. When you let the CTS-V's fearsome powerplant off the leash you'll have a few seconds of unimaginable drama before your thoughts turn to stopping again. Thankfully, the brakes should prove more than up to the job with their six piston callipers acting on 380mm discs at the front and four pot callipers with 373mm discs at the rear. Hydraulic brake assist, four channel ABS and a dynamic rear brake proportioning system will also add peace of mind to the process. The CTS-V might occupy the middle ground between compact executive and executive rivals in terms of its size but in terms of power and price, there's nothing mediocre about it. The CTS-V undercuts Audi's RS6, the car that comes closest to it in terms of brute force, by around £18,000 and is only £5,000 more than a BMW M3, yet has a power advantage of 140bhp. There is, however, a major sticking point for any UK customer considering the purchase of a CTS-V and that is the car's availability exclusively in left hand drive form. With only a very few models coming to these shores, it's likely that enough people will be happy to put up with the steering wheel being on the wrong side in exchange for the exclusivity and all that power. The equipment count on the CTS-V looks suitably high. The Recaro sports seats adjust in 14 different directions and are finished in a mix of leather and suede. There's a voice activated infotainment package with iPod connector and a 40GB hard disc that lets you store music and mapping data for the navigation system. The CTS-V's engine isn't the most technologically advanced unit you'll come across and this along with its size and prodigious power output doesn't bode well for fuel economy or emissions. You just don't buy a car like this if mpg is anything other than a fleeting concern so it's probably best to gloss over the issue altogether and get on with enjoying the CTS-V for what it does best - going fast. Cadillac would probably like us to think of its CTS-V as a thoroughly modern, highly technologically advanced super saloon that beats the Germans at their own game. We're probably more inclined to view it as another in the long line of all-American muscle cars with rather more performance than finesse. The reality is sure to be somewhere in between but there's no denying that the CTS-V makes a compelling proposition on paper, where its price, pace and power knock spots off its rivals. The left hand drive configuration of the CTS-V will be a tough one for many buyers to come to terms with but otherwise, the car will be an intriguing option for anyone with £60,000 to spend on an executive car that accelerates like jet fighter.Facts At A Glance CAR: Cadillac CTS range PRICE: £56,495 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 20 [est] CO2 EMISSIONS: 380g/km [est] PERFORMANCE: 0-60 3.9s Max Speed 191mph [est] FUEL CONSUMPTION: [3.6] combined 18mpg [est] STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: twin front and side airbags, stability control, ABS [est] WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: length/width/heightmm 4860/1842/1400 [est]]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Cadillac CTS Range : GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - In the past, UK-bound Cadillacs have been depressingly easy to poke fun at. With the latest models that has changed and the CTS is the most convincing of the lot. Andy Enright reports.Many car manufacturers would give their eye teeth for an easily recognised brand, but sometimes your name can have negative connotations. Cadillac is just such a brand. Mention the name to any car enthusiast and they will tell you that the company has never produced anything particularly relevant to British drivers.Think back to the last time you saw a Cadillac on British roads. I'm not talking about eight-litre behemoths from the 1970s with their chromed fins and mid-life crises at the wheel, specifically dealing instead with the new era cars imported by General Motors since 2004. You'll be excused if you can't think of a single occasion because only 700 were shifted from dealerships in that time, which means that each car has around 357 miles of UK road before it chances upon another. Despite massive promotional spends, Cadillac has never really had the right mix of products to appeal to British motorists and the tiny dealer network hasn't helped in this regard either. With the CTS, however, Cadillac at last has a car that stands a realistic chance of shifting a few units. It'll still be an individualistic choice but it's a marque that's now being taken increasingly seriously. First it's time to ditch any preconceptions. Think Cadillac and you'll probably think of a hulking great car that takes corners about as eagerly as a bulk freight carrier. The CTS is cut from different cloth and while it's certainly not a car that relishes being taken by the scruff of the neck and flung at a set of mountain switchbacks, it's a decent steer. A rigid body, 50:50 weight distribution, rear-wheel-drive and multi-link rear suspension might suggest that this is a BMW, but if you can't beat them you may as well copy them. The CTS rides well and is not unathletic in its handling, but it's not the sort of car that makes the driver forget its size."It feels an honest product and looks great inside and out"Two mainstream petrol engines are offered to British buyers. The entry-level unit is a 2.8-litre V6, good for 208bhp but the more satisfying option is the 306bhp 3.6-litre V6. Both powerplants can be teamed with either a six-speed manual, which really doesn't suit the nature of the car, or an automatic which does. The other option is the 6.2-litre V8 which gives the barnstorming CTS-V model its huge 556bhp and 0-60mph acceleration of under four seconds. This second-generation CTS is a clear evolution of its razor-edged predecessor and the design has aged very well, the car still looking more like an escapee from a motor show than a common or garden executive hack. If anything, the styling is even more extreme than before, the wheels being teased further towards the corners of the vehicle to improve agility and passenger accommodation with the wheel arches gently flaring over them to suggest a toned muscularity. As Audi has demonstrated, a big, bold grille does wonders for raising the profile of your wares and the CTS doesn't shy away from advertising who built it. Inside it's a bit of a revelation. Yes, there are some scratchier finishes than you'd expect to chance upon in an Ingolstadt product but it's attractively styled and has much more of a personality than the reheated Saab innards that its little brother, the BLS, serves up. The entire dash top is covered in stitched leather and the V-shaped centre console, deeply cowled instruments and ostentatiously chunky steering wheel give the CTS genuine showroom presence. The refreshing thing about it is that it is clearly an American car but has been bullied into offering European style quality. The class-leading infotainment system includes a fully retractable multi-function eight-inch touch-screen VGA display.Â This is combined with a 300 watt 10-speaker Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround sound system which not only offers full iPod integration (developed in conjunction with Apple engineers) but also includes a 40-gigabyte hard drive and CD player with MP3 file compatibility.Â A DVD player and TV tuner provide further viewing pleasure for occupants when the vehicle is parked. The CTS is not an inexpensive car to run. An indicator of how far it has to go in terms of efficiency and engineering comes when comparing the CTS's 3.6-litre engine to the powerplant found under the bonnet of BMW's 530i. Both engines will get the cars to 60mph in 6.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 155mph, but due to having 183kg less to haul about, the BMW does it with 268bhp where the Cadillac needs 306bhp. This translates into fuel economy figures of 36.7mpg for the car from Munich and 23,5mpg for the Caddy. Emissions? 182g/km for the BMW and 285 for the CTS. That would be forgivable if the CTS were a markedly bigger car but open the boots and there's 520 litres of room in the 5 Series and 373 litres of bag space in the Cadillac. This might make depressing reading if you're a Cadillac dealer looking at selling somebody the benefits of the CTS over the comparably priced 530i SE and it shows the benefits of BMW's massive research and development budget but it also fails to recognise that for some customers at least, the sheer `want one' factor of the Cadillac CTS is going to outweigh any Top Trump-style comparisons. Cadillac has been forced to face up to some hard and uncomfortable truths in the last four years and the British arm of the business is nothing if not completely candid about the size of the task that confronts it. The CTS is the very best weapon in the portfolio of Cadillac products and it remains a little off the pace of the best of its German rivals. That's not to say it's set to continue Cadillac's run of dismal sales. What the big Caddy has in spades is likeability and that goes a very long way. It feels an honest product and looks great inside and out. What's more, it has an image that is hard to pigeonhole, which may well be an advantage for those who have established ideas of what a BMW, Audi, Mercedes or even Lexus or Jaguar driver looks like. Take a look. You may well be extremely surprised.Facts At A Glance CAR: Cadillac CTS range PRICES: £26,430-£56,495 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 15-17 CO2 EMISSIONS: [3.6] 285g/km PERFORMANCE: [3.6] 0-60 6.3s Max Speed 155mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [3.6] combined 23.5mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: twin front and side airbags, stability control, ABS WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: length/width/heightmm 4860/1842/1400 [est]]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Cadillac Escalade : DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE BOX THAT I GOT]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Andy Enright probably wouldn't pass muster with Jennifer Lopez but at least he can now drive the car that would turn her head - Cadillac's Escalade."When you rolled up in the Escalade, saw that dub you gave to the valet, knew that it was game when you looked at me, pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling." So goes the song. Jennifer Lopez knows `Rolley bling' when she sees it and although my Casio `waterproof to 50m' bling probably wouldn't impress her that much, at least myself and other UK motorists can now buy the car in question; Cadillac's behemoth Escalade. It's become something of an urban legend.Yep, the Escalade is one vehicle that is steeped in hip hop and RandB culture. Owners include Queen Latifah, Shaquille O'Neal, Ludacris, Fat Joes and Mad Child from Swollen Members. Other celebrity owners who just want to look the part include Ben Affleck, Calista Flockhart, Adam Sandler, Justin Timberlake and Pink. It featured in JLo's "Love Don't Cost A Thing" video and has become the exemplar of conspicuous consumption. It even forced the vehicle line manager for all of General Motor's full-sized 4x4s to ask; "is this a tasteful amount of bling?" and the sales brochure refers to the optional 22-inch alloy wheels as rims in a nod to the car's target audience, many of whom would view 22 inches as way too weedy, replacing them with 24-inch Dub spinners or something equally jaw-droppingly awful. The standard Escalade will be more than enough for most UK buyers not to need Tim Westwood yelling through their letterbox offering to pimp their ride in that bizarre accent that's half Lower East Side and half Lowestoft. Aside from the big alloys, there's a huge 6.2-litre V8 engine that's good for 409bhp. Only available in left hand drive at around £50,000 in both Elegance or Sport Luxury variants, the Escalade will doubtless be a handful to pilot about city streets but it will look suitably imposing in the process. The Escalade has been on sale for some time in the US but the version we get is the latest model, new from the ground up but sharing similar dimensions to its predecessors. In case you were wondering, the Cadillac is 5.14m long, 2.01m wide and 1.92m tall. That is one sizeable chunk of real estate. By contrast, a Range Rover measures 4.95m in length, 1.86m in width and is 1.86m high. Everything really is supersized in the US. Believe it or not, this is viewed as a manageable size for a big SUV in the States, with vehicles like the Infiniti QX56 and the Lincoln Navigator being another couple of belt sizes bigger again. Mind boggling."The Cadillac Escalade has more street cred than a whole dial full of pirate radio presenters"Neither of these cars has quite the firepower of the Caddy, one reason why the gangsta rap types love it so. Featuring an additional 200cc of cubic capacity over its predecessor, the engine also features an aluminium block for the first time. Although to European eyes it's a little weird seeing relatively advanced features like variable valve timing in conjunction with old-school pushrods, it's a recipe that seems to work reasonably well, the latest Escalade being not only quicker but also less thirsty than the old car. Still, all things are relative and the 19mpg highway fuel consumption and 15mpg city figure will doubtless be enough to have your sanctimonious next door neighbour with his Lexus RX400h hybrid shaking his head in weary resignation. It would be your turn to roll your eyes when you get seven or eight people inside the Escalade. Okay, you'll probably be going to the drive-thru rather than a drive-by but if you need plenty of space and don't mind paying for the privilege, the Escalade certainly scores on that count. Given its showy reputation, it's surprising to find that the interior of the Escalade is comparatively restrained. It's almost traditional to point and laugh at American car interiors as most of them are made of the same plastics used to divide the top and bottom layers in a box of Milk Tray but the Escalade is a welcome diversion. I guess you could have one trimmed with chandeliers, 42-inch plasma screens and refrigerators that dispense Cristal champagne and Courvoisier but for those of us that don't employ an entourage, it's really rather agreeable inside the Escalade. The press information makes great play of the European-style grained patterns on the dashboard as if Cadillac have only just twigged that quality as well as quantity is a legitimate design criterion. The two-tone dash is simply but tastefully done while the soft touch plastics and a set of white and blue electroluminescent dials look the part rather more than the rather inevitable walnut inlays. The column-mounted gear lever does smack a little of the sort of hire cars you used to pick up at LAX and return a week later filthy and reeking of discarded Jack In The Box takeaways. The Bose 5.1 Surround Sound audio system is, however, almost beyond reproach. Big vehicles of this ilk have never performed all that responsibly on crash tests, often coming out rather well from frontal impacts but leaving the unfortunate they crashed into rather the worse for wear. Cadillac has looked to improve this factor of the latest Escalade and has fitted collapsible brackets to its front frame rails that will deform more effectively in front and offset collisions, giving other cars and their occupants more of a sporting chance. Weighing in at 2,639kg there's a lot of physics at work here. By contrast, a Range Rover V8 is a mere slip of a thing at 2,440kg. As well as StabiliTrak stability control, there's also rollover avoidance, three row side curtain airbags and a sensor that identifies rear end impacts and primes the seatbelt pretensioners. Rear park assist is fitted as standard and the navigation system links to a rear facing camera. Other features include a remote start function that will even heat or cool the interior of the Escalade to a chosen preset so that when you get to the car, it should be pleasantly amenable for an evening with friends spent `capping fools'. There, I've gone all ghetto again. There's something about the Escalade that will make you feel as if you're playing a role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Buying any car in this price bracket is largely about playing a role. I just don't think I have what it takes to carry off a Cadillac Escalade. I'm blaming the Casio.Facts At A Glance CAR: Cadillac Escalade PRICE: £47,100-£50,100- on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 20 CO2 EMISSIONS: 383g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-60mph 6.8s / Max Speed 105mph (electronically governed) FUEL CONSUMPTION: (combined) 17.4mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front, side and curtain airbags / stability control / ABS with EBA / traction control WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE ?: Length/Width/Height 5144/2007/1927mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Cadillac SRX : THE CADILLAC WITH ADDED SRX APPEAL]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Guardian Readers Will Hate It But Cadillac's SRX Offers An Interesting Alternative To The Usual Big 4x4 Suspects. Andy Enright ReportsIt's easy to get a little patronising when it comes to American cars. Big, unsophisticated things that slug back fuel and trip over themselves at the first sniff of a corner, these so-called `Yank Tanks' have traditionally lost something in translation when shipped across the Atlantic. Just about the only market sector to have escaped this rather sneering attitude is that of big 4x4s, vehicles that sell in multitudes Stateside and enjoy some success here.Although the most familiar name to many will be Jeep, a more prestigious brand is looking to muscle in on the action. Cadillac, that most quintessentially American auto manufacturer, has established itself across the pond with big 4x4s such as the Escalade, one of the most namechecked cars in rap and R'n'B singles, and is now offering the slightly more accessible SRX in right hand drive seven-seater form to British buyers priced from £28,100. At first glance, the SRX looks not unlike the larger and more luxurious Escalade, with slab sided flanks and bold, edgy detailing around the front lights and grille area but its stance is quite different to the pumped up look of most 4x4s. Instead it adopts a low-rider look that's almost akin to a big MPV-style vehicle. Those who buy 4x4s for the commanding view of the road ahead will feel a little disappointed by the SRX's car-like altitude. The flipside of this is that the SRX features a lower centre of gravity than most competitors. This, in turn, should translate into the sort of handling that has escaped many big 4x4s, but the SRX is set up for comfort. Turn in a little too enthusiastically for a corner and the body will wallow, the slow steering not doing a whole lot to heighten the experience. It's worth stating that the SRX's handling capabilities are surprisingly good for a vehicle that weighs this much, but it doesn't move the game on in this respect. Although the car's cornering capabilities aren't going to worry the likes of BMW, its ride quality is near the top of the tree. The SRX absorbs typical motorway expansion joints with a hushed composure and renders potholed B-roads a complete irrelevance. It's easy to find yourself parked atop kerbs without even realizing you've mounted the pavement, such is the absorption of the SRX's springing."The Cadillac SRX isn't exactly short of road presence"This being an American car, a diesel engine is not on the menu. Buy an SRX and you're going to have to get used to pouring unleaded down its neck at a fair rate, as neither of the two engines is particularly economical. The entry-level engine is a 261PS 3.6-litre V6 with a 5-speed automatic transmission, offered in `Elegance' or, for £4,000 more, `Sport Luxury' guises. Most buyers will doubtless go the whole hog and plump for the single 330PS 4.6-litre V8 version with a 6-speed auto `box, priced at £37,100. This delivers some serious straightline speed, dispatching the sprint to 60mph in 7.4 seconds, the bluff front only failing to punch a big hole through the airstream at 140mph. This Northstar V8 is one of the best engines ever to hail from the US, offering plenty of low-end torque as well as the ability to play the sporting card with some conviction. Both the engines available feature variable valve timing and utilise an electronic throttle. The lack of a diesel is a big handicap in the British market, as an economical 3.0-litre diesel version of the SRX could convert many buyers looking for something a little off the beaten path but which won't crucify them in terms of fuel economy. Most drivers will be lucky to average much more than 15mpg from the SRX V8. Cadillac themselves seem a little unsure of how to pitch the SRX, referring to it as variously a "driver's utility" and a "luxury utility" although the closest conventional term for the vehicle most Americans would understand would be `station wagon'. Where the SRX scores is in offering a good blend of abilities in areas that buyers of these vehicles typically demand. It doesn't attempt to offer any serious off-roading ability. In fact the US version offers all wheel drive as a costly option. Likewise, eight inches of ground clearance and limited wheel articulation aren't going to make this behemoth a rock hopper of note. The brakes of the SRX are well worthy of note. Helped by a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the braking system offers some serious punch. Big brake discs of nearly 13-inches in diameter are backed up by a very slick anti-lock braking system that's virtually imperceptible when pushed into operation. General Motors' Panic Brake Assist system offers an additional safety net for when you need to stop this two-tonne vehicle in a hurry, applying full braking power when an emergency situation is detected. And so on to the SRX's cabin. It's at this juncture of any road test concerning an American car that things tend to go horribly wrong. Yoghurt-pot plastics, clumsy design, seats wide enough to house an elephant seal and lousy ergonomics are what we tend to expect. The SRX tries in this regard: recent improvements have included softer surfaces, flush-mounted switches and controls, along with enhanced storage capacity. It still has to be said however, that many of the plastics are still very low rent and the overhead console, grab handles and centre binnacle don't feel up to the mark when forking out around £30,000. There's no shortage of electronic gadgets to play with but most are marshalled by a touch screen display which often requires three or four menu choices to get things done, diverting your eyes from the road for an unacceptable period of time. Although it may be fiddly to operate, there can be absolutely no faulting the sound quality of the Bose stereo fitted to the test car. Rich, deep and with prodigious reserves of power, this was one booming system. At 2960 mm, the SRX has one of the longest wheelbases in its class, providing an unusual amount of rear legroom. For the UK, this is a seven-seater and offers a spacious cargo area. The rear and middle row seats can be folded down, increasing the cargo volume to over 1960 litres. In order that the cargo bed can still be used whenever required, the third row seats can be power-folded into the floor at the touch of a button. The Cadillac SRX lacks the last few per cent of finish some buyers will look for and its lack of a diesel engine option will also preclude it from the shortlists of many other prospective purchasers. Just as well then that Cadillac aren't aiming for big sales for this model in the UK, instead realistically targeting the sort of low mileage urban driver who might otherwise be tempted by something a little out of the ordinary. If you can afford to run it, the SRX certainly lives up to that particular billing.Facts At A Glance CAR: Cadillac SRX PRICE: £28,100-£37,100 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 17E-18E CO2 EMISSIONS: 332-396g/km PERFORMANCE: [V8] 0-60mph 7.4s /Max Speed 140mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [V8] (urban) 12.1mpg / (extra urban) 22.1mpg / (combined) 16.9mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front and side airbags / ABS with EBA / traction control WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE ?: Length/Width/Height 4950/1845/1721mm]]></description>
