Cadillac News
Cadillac is a luxury brand owned by General Motors and one of four remaining core brands after the automaker emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2009. Founded in 1902 and bought by GM in 1909, Cadillac became the premier luxury vehicle marque in the US during the mid-20th century. After losing that distinction from the intense competition of foreign competitors and a number of unpopular models, the brand was reinvented around 2003 with an "Art and Science" design language.

2014 Cadillac ELR leases for $699 a month 1390244280
Most Autoblog readers thought the $75,000 price tag on the 2014 Cadillac ELR was too high. If you can't swing the MSRP all in one go, how does a lease price of $699 a month sound? That's the amount that Cadillac is offering on the official ELR website, with some caveats, of course. First off, it appears that this lease price is for just for "current ...

Report: Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share 1389965400

Report: Cadillac chief says ATS convertible, wagon on the table 1389799740
What we do know is that the ATS will wear at least one more bodystyle.

Official: 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe favors cleanliness over radical lines 1389675720
Though you might not know it from looking at vehicles like the XTS and Escalade, if you take a broader look at history, you'll see that Cadillac models have gotten a lot smaller from the tail-finned highway cruisers of old.
