1992 Cadillac Allante Base Convertible 2-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
|
I recently purchased this Allante but am now moving to downtown Detroit, where I will not have the room to keep the extra car. My loss, your gain. Terrible time of year to sell a convertible - so act on this deal now! The Good: Pinninfarina style! American V8! The paint looks good for the most part, other than the few issues listed below. The color is vibrant and clear coat is solid and shiny. This is driver, it's got the miles to prove it. 151,xxx. I bought the car in Green Bay, WI and drove it back to Ann Arbor, MI with no problems at all. The interior is not perfect, but is nice for the age. The leather has it's worn spots, but is not torn anywhere. The carpet is clean and undamaged. The convertible top is clean, works perfectly, and has no tears. The A/C blows cold! I have never touched the freon, but the computer keeps saying it should be charged. It works great though! This car has a pretty sophisticated computer monitoring system. It can be accessed with a certain combination of keys. I'm no mechanic, but I am a curious sort so I flipped through all of the options. It seems to report that the engine is healthy. You might be a better judge than I, but it certainly starts and runs like it! She's a cheap stylish convertible for the summer! The Bad: Perfect Allantes go for $10,000. (Can you believe they were $60,000 twenty years ago?) Why is this one so cheap? I'll put the cards on the table and you can decide if the price is right. I'm going to pick apart this car, so you know what you're buying. Please notice none of what is listed below prevents you from putting the top down and cruising! Again, she got me back from WI and hundreds of miles since then. The WI title was a salvage. I challenge you find evidence of what happened. I could not see where it might have been hit. According to the carfax it happened years ago and the owner continued to drive it for years afterward. Strangely, MI did not issue a salvage title. The exhaust rattles a bit at idle. The transmission works fine, but is getting old and shifts slightly rough from time to time. The suspension too has seen some years. It's floatier than it should be. She'll need new tires next season. The cruise control does not work. The CD player does not work - on the bright side you get a free CD if you can get it out of the deck. The passenger window needs help to get up and down. The front of hood has some big chips in the paint. A cable from the latch inside the drivers door frame that actuates the convertible top's boot is broken. It is very easy to actuate manually, you just have to reach inside the car. The antenna is stuck up |

Cadillac's semi-autonomous Super Cruise pushed back to 2017
Thu, Jan 14 2016It looks like General Motors is discovering just how difficult it is to bring autonomous vehicle technology fit for public consumption to market. The company has pushed back the launch of its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology by several months. Originally promised by CEO Mary Barra for a fall 2016 debut, Super Cruise was supposed to be offered first on the new CT6 sedan. Automotive News is reporting that won't be the case, following a statement from GM confirming that the new system would be pushed to sometime in 2017. At the very least, that's a several month delay. GM cited the need to get the system right and keep owners safe, which prevented a firm date for Super Cruise's debut. Product boss Mark Reuss was more blunt, though, telling AN, "It will come out when it is ready." Super Cruise would be one of the earliest examples of driverless tech to be put into public hands, following the introduction of Tesla's semi-autonomous AutoPilot system in 2015. Most other automakers experimenting with the autonomous vehicles don't foresee public sales until early in the next decade, including Toyota, Renault-Nissan, and Volvo. Before Barra suggested a 2016 debut, GM originally aimed to introduce its semi-autonomous system in 2020. Related Video:
Cadillac CTS-V spotted with big exhaust, new grille?
Thu, 20 Feb 2014If you thought Cadillac was content to leave its twin-turbocharged Vsport as the range-topping CTS, think again. Behold, our first good glimpse at the next-generation Cadillac CTS-V sedan, sporting more aggressive styling (somewhere under there), meaty quad-exhaust pipes, and what very well could be a new face for the V-badged Caddies.
Creating an all-new grille design seems like an awful lot of work just for a prototype, so it's very possible that the vertical-bar treatment you see here could make its way into production. Our spy photographers have pointed out that they've seen this same sort of grille treatment on prototypes for the smaller ATS-V sedan, and we've heard V-series models may soon have greater differentiation from the standard vehicles that sired them - that seems especially necessary if Cadillac insists on expanding this whole Vsport range.
Regardless of how its front end looks, the CTS-V ought to be a real monster. Industry sources say we can expect to see a supercharged version of General Motors' 6.2-liter V8 under the Caddy's hood, and considering the current car already makes 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque, we wouldn't be surprised to see a decent increase in both of those numbers. After all, one of the CTS-V's main competitors, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, is currently putting out 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Could this mean a 600-hp Cadillac is on the horizon?
2014 Cadillac CTS
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.
