2007 Cadillac XLR-V
June 7th, 2006
The 2007 Cadillac XLR-V is the most expensive Cadillac 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 cannot be on whether or not a $100,000 Caddy should exist-since one indisputably now does-but rather on whether it lives up to the lofty expectations created by its six-figure sticker price.
2006 Cadillac DTS
March 3rd, 2006
With the introduction of the 2006 DTS, the last remaining vehicle in Cadillac’s lineup with a real name is the Escalade, which in a short period of time has built enormous value thanks to the entertainment industry’s fascination with it. Eldorado? Gone. Seville? Dead. DeVille? Meet its replacement, the DTS.
2006 Cadillac Escalade
February 22nd, 2006
Cadillac wasn’t the first automaker to blend a pickup-truck cargo bed with a sport utility vehicle, but the full-size Escalade EXT is one of the most luxurious examples. Dropping the midgate panel quickly changes the interior layout from five-passenger seating to additional cargo capacity. A sliding load floor is installed on 2006 models.
Cadillac created a new niche for itself in 2002 by borrowing a concept from Chevrolet and giving it the full luxury treatment. Chevrolet had already launched its Avalanche, and Cadillac followed with the Escalade EXT, which blends the luxury cab of an Escalade sport utility vehicle with the cargo bed of a pickup truck.
