Apparently you're not alone. Business Week has posted its "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years," including a number of models present and past, and the New Beetle is just one of the newer and still-produced models on the list. Others include the Cadillac ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034859_the-smallest-cadillac-ever http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034859_the-smallest-cadillac-ever Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:30:00 -0400 The great thing about covering cars is its randomness. There you are, cranking out road tests, when a Tweet leads you to a site that leads you into YouTube ... and before you know it, there's another story that just fell in your lap. We were doing a little piece on the "Electric Car" video from They Might Be Giants, the expermimental alt-rock ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034651_driven-2009-cadillac-cts-v http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034651_driven-2009-cadillac-cts-v Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:00:00 -0400 While crawling along in traffic or responsibly setting the cruise on a pockmarked Interstate, it's quite possible to forget that you're in the fastest American sport sedan ever, with more than 550 horsepower on tap. That's a huge compliment, as most high-performance cars let themselves be known in ever-present ways, with droning engine notes, ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/cadillac_escalade_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/cadillac_escalade_2010 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:19:00 -0400 2010 CADILLAC ESCALADE STYLING | [9 out of 10] Motor Trend: "downright opulent " Kelley Blue Book: " the audacious Escalade continues to get you noticed " FamilyCar.com: "an even bolder look than its predecessor" Cars.com: "chrome applications emphasize vehicle's luxury status" According to reviewers from across the Web, the plush ...

(Like the Chevrolet Volt, the Converj is powered by an electric motor, which can be recharged on-the-go by a gasoline engine.) Sure, pairing the Cadillac brand and an electric powertrain seemed a little odd, but no one ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034338_first-drive-2010-cadillac-cts-sport-wagon http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034338_first-drive-2010-cadillac-cts-sport-wagon Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:49:00 -0400 The 2010 Cadillac Sport Wagon may be the GM brand's first car with a built-in family-planning moment. "Honey, do we really want more than one kid?" Still, it's far from the horrifying prospect that, say, a Chevrolet Venture might have been, back in the days when GM wasn't very serious about building exciting vehicles for more than two people. ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/cadillac_srx_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/cadillac_srx_2010 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:24:00 -0400 2010 CADILLAC SRX STYLING | [8 out of 10] Car and Driver: "Cabin equals or exceeds anything in the class" Automobile Magazine: " Cadillac didn't take the bland design and mushy suspension bait" Jalopnik: "In person and in a driveway it's actually quite handsome" The 2010 Cadillac SRX might carry a familiar name, but it's got an ...

Apart from the buzz surrounding the 2011 Mercedes Benz E-class Wagon, there's also been news of the Cadillac CTS-V SportWagon and Honda's likely U.S. launch of an Acura wagon based on the popular Acura TSX. Now comes a new rendering of the next-generation BMW 5-Series Touring Wagon, set to appear in ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034115_preview-2013-cadillac-xts http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034115_preview-2013-cadillac-xts Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:00:00 -0400   GM has confirmed that a new sedan will replace its DTS and STS luxury sedans, and the new car could be in showrooms by 2013. GM showed the new sedan being developed under the code-name XTS today at a background session in GM's design dome. With influences ranging from the Cadillac Sixteen show car to today's Audi A8, the new big Cadillac ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1033979_first-drive-2010-cadillac-srx-turbo http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1033979_first-drive-2010-cadillac-srx-turbo Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:00:00 -0400 Let's get this straight, out of the gate: there's no Cadillac SRX-V in the works, and even though this car we're looping around GM's Milford Proving Grounds is following in the well-worn tracks of Corvettes, it's not the chest-thumping Corvette challenger that, say, Cadillac's own CTS-V might be. The 2010 Cadillac SRX Turbo is about top-end ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1033938_2011-cadillac-cts-coupe-comes-next-may http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1033938_2011-cadillac-cts-coupe-comes-next-may Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:00:00 -0400 The delayed two-door version of the Cadillac CTS is coming in May, and when it arrives, the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe will be joined right away by a V-8 CTS-V Coupe, too. A spokesman confirmed to TheCarConnection that the two-door would get the 2011 model year designation, and that it would share powertrains with the CTS sedan and the new 2010 ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022394_accessories-we-want-back-cadillacs-magnetic-shot-glasses http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022394_accessories-we-want-back-cadillacs-magnetic-shot-glasses Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:50:00 -0400 Ever watch one of those old Pan Am ads where everyone on the 707 is wearing suits and ties, or cocktail dresses and high heels, standing around in sophisticated poses ... and smoking like chimneys? We got that same Lost World, never-again-in-our-time feeling when we saw the photo above. Yes, they're an accessory for the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022233_vw-mercedes-honda-modelsand-porschetop-apeal-study http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022233_vw-mercedes-honda-modelsand-porschetop-apeal-study Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:55:00 -0400 Porsche ranks as most appealing nameplate for the fifth consecutive year. That's according to J.D. Power and Associates' 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, which was just released. Yet Porsche only had one top-placing model in Power's study, the Cayenne. Across all models, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class receives ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021998_tough-lux-2009-hummer-h2-and-2009-range-rover-among-most-expensive-to-insure http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021998_tough-lux-2009-hummer-h2-and-2009-range-rover-among-most-expensive-to-insure Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:34:00 -0400 You might be able to swing quite a deal today on one of the most luxurious off-road-worthy barges, but be prepared to pay extra--over and over again--in your insurance premiums. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, 2009 Hummer H2, and 2009 Range Rover rank as the most expensive SUVs to insure, according to the insurance shopping site ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021986_the-new-cadillac-all-wheel-drive-xts-baby-cadillac-too http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021986_the-new-cadillac-all-wheel-drive-xts-baby-cadillac-too Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:53:00 -0400 General Motors has a clear path out of bankruptcy, thanks to a Federal court's ruling this morning that the formation of a "New GM" can take place. What lies ahead for one of the four brands that's on the winning side of GM's Chapter 11 filing? For Cadillac, the future seems to be circling around the core product that's led its revival--the ..]]>
