Cadillac recently changed their naming system yet again, and their first sedan to adopt it is the all-new 2017 Cadillac CT6, set to go on sale in the UAE and other GCC countries very soon. We had a chance to drive their new flagship sedan at an event in Abu Dhabi.
The Cadillac CTS-V has been around for about a decade, but GM never quite figured out whether it was a compact or a midsize, and by their own chief engineer Tony Roma’s admission, couldn’t hack it as a rival to either the BMW M3 or the BMW M5, given its compromises to straddle the line. But things are much more focused this time around, with the latest CTS-V growing into a proper midsizer, leaving the compact super-sedan market to the ATS-V, which comes as a coupe too. We drove the company’s little new bruisers at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi this week.
Cadillac has released a few images of the XT5, their newly-named crossover model. The SRX replacement was given a preview at a fashion event in New York yesterday, with the full reveal set to happen at the 2015 Dubai Motor Show in November.
Car production is an honest process, the Americans would tell you. It’s a simple process, the Japanese will say, and the Germans would go on about how intricate and detailed the process is. But when it comes to after-market assurance, there’s just one word dictating their manufacturing flaws; swift recalls. Recalling faulty vehicles is not unfamiliar in today’s automotive scene. As a matter of fact, millions of vehicles have been recalled in the past and you could see it as a sign that cars are getting safer and manufacturers getting serious about their products.

The Cadillac ATS sedan that was launched a couple of years ago was the General’s answer to the BMW 3-Series. And at least in terms of chassis dynamics, it had succeeded. Now there’s a coupe version. We briefly took one for a spin recently.

The LA Auto Show is just around the corner, and lot of new cars are expected to be previewed in the coming weeks prior to their official unveiling at Los Angeles later this month. One such preview is of the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V and ATS-V Coupe.
One little-known fact about us is that our first officially-provided test car was the 2005 Cadillac CTS 3.6. It was a very nice car, but after the initial euphoria died down, we realised it wasn’t particularly well-built and nowhere near as good as the BMW 3-Series we drove after that. Two generations later, the 2014 edition is quite something else.
