2012 Cadillac CTS V Coupe
One of the selling points of Cadillac’s superb coupe and sedan was that even modestly-engined models could be ordered with a row-it-yourself gearbox. Buy a Performance or Premium package CTS with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine, and you could select either a six speed manual or a six speed automatic. Even base, 3.0-liter equipped cars could be ordered with a manual transmission, which gave Cadillac bragging rights and the ability to counter sales of European sport sedans. Competitive products from Audi and BMW gave buyers the option of a stick or a slushbox, and including a manual transmission option was key to Cadillac’s market positioning (even if most buyers opted for the automatic). That’s changed for 2012, and if you’re looking to buy a 3.0-liter or 3.6-liter Cadillac CTS with a manual transmission, you’re out of luck. Insufficient demand for the manual transmission has forced GM to cease production, since it’s simply not cost effective to build cars that customers don’t want to buy. Since there’s no significant difference in other mechanicals between the 2011 and 2012 cars, you may still have luck shopping dealer inventory for a manual-transmission-equipped 2011 CTS coupe or sedan.
The change doesn’t impact Cadillac’s CTS-V models, which continue to be available with either the six speed manual or the six speed automatic transmission. Even the CTS-V Sportwagon can be ordered with a manual transmission, making it the only 556 horsepower, row-it-yourself station wagon on the market today. Ironically, the CTS-V’s record Nürburgring lap time was set in an automatic-equipped car, with the transmission in “Sport” mode. Sure, the automatic is faster, but it’s no where near as satisfying to drive.

Cadillac Ciel Gets production form
Cadillac Ciel. Who does not remember the compelling Cadillac Ciel Concept from last year?! The brand brought with it an ode to their meter convertibles from the 60s and 70s such as the Eldorado and Deville. Everyone saw him like going into production, including GM. And now given the green light whatsoever.
There is however a snag. It is not that the Ciel Concept (almost) unchanged later in the showroom. GM is looking for a new flagship for Cadillac and just wants to design elements of the Concept Ciel use that shape. As a concept for the future flagship of the American luxury brand, parent company a sedan in mind.
That the choice was made for the sedan and not a pomp-pomp-and-carriage Ciel is not without reason. Cadillac has an image builder in the U.S. market is not necessary, but a formidable competitor for the S-Class, 7-series and A8 which is increasingly gaining ground in the USA. With the new XTS can only resist, but when it comes to cachet even thinks that the worst of Cadillac must dig against the strong Germans. A model above the XTS, the heaviest weapon against the invaders.
Offensive
Anyway Cadillac is working on a model offensive to where luxury and comfort-seeking American and European drivers to convince it to provide the number-one brand. Thus, the ATS open the attack on the 3-Series, A4 and C class and are also the all-new CTS plus XTS up against the E-segment of the Germans and the Japanese (class of the BMW 5-series). A new Escalade is also in the making and as icing on the cake, we can expect showroom version of the ELR, the Volt in Cadillac.

Cadillac Kills The SRX Turbo
Fun is fun, but if nobodys showing up for the party, well.....
GM Inside News says its confirmed that Cadillac is dropping the Turbo model of its SRX crossover. Goodbye, 300 horsepower. But also goodbye, 15 miles per gallon city. Which might have a lot to do with it. As might the publicity garnered last spring when more than one of those turbo engines did its impression of a grenade after suffering the indignity of being fed regular fuel rather than premium.
