Hard to find 2005 Cadillac STS V8 (320 hp) AWD (125,000 miles) with Navigation, Adaptive Cruise, Heads-up Display, Keyless Entry with push button start, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, Remote start, and 300-watt 15 Speaker Bose Surround Sound system with MP3 capability. ONLY ONE LIKE THIS SELLING IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY (just search 2005 STS with V8, AWD, Adaptive Cruise, and nothing will come up!) 

For those not familiar with Cadillac Heads-up-display, this is a really cool feature and one of the main reason I bought this particular car; it actually projects a hologram type of image out in front of the driver just above the front edge of the car, thus allowing you to see important info without having to look down or refocus your eyes. It shows speed, climate control, navigation information, radio information, and RPM and gear info when in manual shift mode. This car is loaded with every option except engine block heater. 

Just some of the more expensive options are: 18" wheels, Magnetic Ride Control, Intellibeam (auto high beam), Magnasteer, DVD Entertainment System, Xenon High Intensity headlights, memory seats, heated/ventilated front seats, heated back seats, heated steering wheel,  power sunroof, rain sense wipers, auto headlight cleaner, rear spoiler, tire pressure monitoring system, new tires, recently tuned up, drives great; will easily go another 100,000 miles (tune ups on this engine are scheduled every 100,000 miles!) Everything works great. Body is in great condition except for small passenger door dent (hard to see in pictures). Clean carfax.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

Cadillac teases camo'd ELR ahead of Detroit debut

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

With the 2014 Cadillac ELR being introduced next week at the Detroit Auto Show, General Motors has revealed another picture of its luxury range extended electric vehicle. Last month, we saw a dark, teaser photo showing some of the body detail for the electric coupe, but this recent photo shows the Cadillac in full camouflage testing in California back in September.
If this car looks familiar, it's because our spy shooters got a jump on GM by catching the car in action and providing pictures from all angles. There are still no official details for the ELR yet aside from the fact that it will share the Voltec system with the Chevrolet Volt, but we'll finally see the car unveiled in Detroit a week from today.

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
