1. For the “structural stiffness increased by 25 percent” mentioned in the press release, the most accurate message is: it is actually the front section of the car (body structure in front of the firewall) increased by 25 percent. The whole body’s torsional stiffness, according to Mr...

In our previous article A Night with Cadillac, I mentioned after the dinner we were riding on a 2015 Escalade back to the rendezvous location, there were something interesting on display.

There are one 2015 Escalade ESV and one 2015 CTS VSport sitting inside the exhibition hall. In this article I will share my personal impression on the 2015 Escalade. All photos are taken live in the Road to Table event in Laguna Beach.

Today Cadillac announced its new plan for naming its product line. The rule is quite simple: all of its current and future vehicles will be name in the format of  “CT[x]” (here x = a number starts at integer “1”, higher value means higher market position of the car).

For example, previously rumor said the upcoming Cadillac full-size sedan’s name will be “LTS”, now its official name is “CT6”. Below is a spy shot of the Cadillac CT6 full-size luxury sedan.

You may recall recently there is another brand also has this dramatic change of nomenclature, yes you are right, the Infiniti. You may also has a feeling that this is a similar strategy – yes you are right again.
