After leaving over half of its European markets on 2009 due to decreased sales projection, Cadillac is now ready to go back this year to the European market.

When General Motors signed up with Kroymans Corp. to help distribute Cadillac, Hummer and Corvette models in 25 European countries, it had envisioned sales of roughly 7,500 units each year under the Cadillac brand alone. In 2008, Cadillac moved just 4,556 units – which combined with the poor sales of the Hummer and Corvette models, led to the bankruptcy filing by Kroymans in March, 2009.

After the bankruptcy, Cadillac was barely felt in Europe, holding on to strongholds in Russia, the United Kingdom and…

Geiger Cars has done it again. Another American brand has been monsterized by the German tuning company: the Cadillac CTS-V.

The Cadillac CTS-V already has a supercharged 6.2 Liter LSA V8 which makes 415 kW (564 horsepower) at 5900 rpm and 747 Nm of torque.

With all this power, the car is now christened as Cadillac CTS-V Brute Force.

The Cadillac CTS-V Brute Force is fitted with a six-speed gearbox. And with the help of the shortened fifth…

General Motors showed a concept version of the Converj last January at the Detroit auto show. We know that the production has been put on hold  because some members of management and the U.S. Treasury Dept.’s auto task force say it is such an expensive model for a company enduring bankruptcy. So, what’s the update? They say other executives are edging through to get the car engineered and funded.

If the car will be manufactured, GM says that it would run on the same system as the Volt which gets 230 miles per gallon in the city. The Volt uses a small, four-cylinder gasoline engine to charge its battery and power…

When you hear the word “Cadillac” what comes first to your mind? Maybe the land yacht of the 70‘s and 80’s, or hoods and decks that are marginally shorter than your average aircraft or hearses or transportation for those awaiting a ride in one.

However, General Motors began crafting a strategy to change the usual perspective of people. They take Cadillac on the luxury marques abroad.

The Cadillac 2009 CTS-V as we quote – is not your grandfather’s Cadillac anymore but a car for all businessmen or car fanatics! The CTS-V stands in stark contrast. In standard guise, the CTS is bold and handsome, utterly modern and instantly recognizable because of its mesh…

Even the leather-stitched interior of the Cadillac CTS V6 speaks of elegance comparable to the Jaguar XJ. This is perhaps the only car that’s both American and German in some aspects making it a unique sedan. Take note of the automated…
