Up for sale is my personally owned 2005 Cadillac STS with Navigation. I am only selling this  vehicle because I have two other cars and have no space to keep this.  This car has had routine maintenance and most recently has had a fresh Synthetic Mobil 1 oil change, tune-up, new battry, front brakes, and a brake assist sensor in the last few months.   The car has been inspected by NY STATE and has passed all emissions and safety tests as of January 2014 .   The car has tremendous 8 cylinder acceleration and great shifting throughout the gears, drives smooth, and quiet on the road.    The car leaks nothing and operates through all highway and city driving effortlessly, and with pretty good 27 miles per gallon highway efficiency.  The car has perfect glass and is tinted with 30% tint making this one black beauty stealth machine.  The grill is also a custom installed grill that was an optional upgrade on the sts.  The wheels are free of rash and are beautiful Cadillac Spoke alloys in great condition.     Occasionally when parking the steering wheel gets tight and my mechanic stated that there is an intermittent steering stabilatrack module that is intermittently shorting causing that fault which with diagnostics and replacement of the modules can easily be corrected.  He has further stated that the rack and the power steering and all other steering controls work as they should and there are no leaks.    All the dual climate controls and electronics work as they should including the power windows, door locks, power seats, moon roof, Navigation System, heat and ac, steering activation, on star, Sirius XM radio, and all other electronic accessories and convenience features that make this Xenon head lighted vehicle a Cadillac.  The Radio and Navigation unit was also replaced a few months ago and is brand new and works perfectly.  The interior is free of any rips and tears and is beautifully appointed in deep dark black leather, and with a good leather conditioner will look brand new.  The Tires are decent but I would replace them within 10 thousand miles.  After the hard winter storms we have had, the vehicle has sustained ice and debris small ding damage to the hood, rear deck lid, spoiler,  and the roof.  From about 10 feet away you cannot really tell, but upon closer examination you can see the small dings, which can easily be smoothed out by a good body man, and the rear passenger door has a light hit extending into the rear quarter, again all easily fixed by a good body man, inexpensively.  The two rear tail lights have slight cracks in the lenses but this is not necessary to replace as they passed inspection and work perfectly. The rear spoiler has been pitted and is discolored but can be resurfaced quite easily. The paint on a whole and  the car look impressive though, and with a little body work, it can be perfect Cadillac.  The pictures display a very clean car that needs some body work, runs amazing, and with a little detail will be a pristine black beauty.  The car is sold , AS IS and where is with no warranty expressed or implied and any deposits given are NON REFUNDABLE. Happy Bidding

Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror | 2017 Autoblog Technology of the Year Finalist

Wed, Jan 25 2017

We give Cadillac a lot of credit for being the first to make good on the promise to replace mirrors with cameras and displays. That was good enough to earn the Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror a place on our 2017 Technology of the Year awards shortlist for new features. The idea behind this system is relatively simple; what perhaps took more doing was getting the regulations in place to allow a video feed to replace the government-mandated mirror. The hardware and that rules compliance starts with what looks like a normal rearview mirror – because it defaults to being a mirror until you switch on the display or in the event the system somehow fails. Flip the little toggle at the bottom of the mirror – the one normally used to switch from day to night mode – and the reflection is replaced by a very crisp feed from a camera at the back of the vehicle. This live stream gives you a wide-angle view of what's behind, without obstruction from back-seat passengers, headrests, or any bodywork. The camera is even shielded from weather and has a coating to shed water. What you see doesn't exactly look like a normal reflection, but the quality is good enough and you see more than you would normally with something aimed through today's small rear windows. But because it isn't actually a reflection, you have to make some adjustments. When your eyes are focused down the road, glancing at a mirror gives you a view the same distance away but in the rear. With the rear camera mirror, a glance back requires your eyes to first refocus on the display, which takes a moment. And unlike a normal mirror, which you look through at an angle, this display is angled toward the driver but projecting an image that looks straight back – no matter how you move it, the image doesn't change like a mirror's would. And because it's an image and not a reflection, you can't choose what's in focus and lose your sense of depth perception. It's not clear whether objects in mirror are closer or farther than they appear. And there are other limitations. For instance, while the display balances bright lights and dark surroundings well at night, it is tricked by LED headlights, which flicker at a rate faster than the camera shoots. The result is a distracting strobe effect like you get when you point a smartphone camera at any LED light source. For those with migraine sensitivity, this kind of fast flashing can cause real problems.

Cadillac CTS-V spotted with big exhaust, new grille?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

If 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?

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network

Wed, Jul 26 2023

A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not.  "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche.  In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure.  "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.
