Up for sale is this Fantastic 2008 Cadillac XLR Convertible. This Caddy is has only 49,000 miles and is a great, reliable vehicle. The exterior of this high-line vehicle is finished in Cranberry Red and complimented with the Black leather interior. Unfortunately, this car was involved in a light front impact and its being sold with a Rebuilt title from New York. The air bags did not deploy and the frame rails are straight and untouched. The suspension is also all good and the vehicle steers arrow straight and lot drives perfectly. The motor and transmission are also 100% and suffered no damage at all. It will not take much to get this vehicle in great shape again. The vehicle will need 2 headlights, 2 fenders, a front bumper, a grill, a radiator (this one may be fixable), a drivers side door glass, and an upper radiator support (which cost $80 on ebay). The hood is good and suffered no damage. 
This vehicle has a Rebuilt title, so the vehicle can be driven after is it fixed. This vehicle will NOT have no go through any kind of state inspection or anything like that. It can be titled in your name immediately. I am selling it with an open-title as well. This is a BIG plus!
This Cadillac is in perfect mechanical condition and everything works the way it should, and I mean everything! Every single light bulb lights up and every switch functions properly. Even the tire pressure sensors work the way they should.The only thing that will need attention is the convertible top will need to be reset. The top always worked fine but after the accident, and the vehicle sitting for a few months in my garage, the top has stopped working. I am told that the computer for the top will need to be recalibrated and then it will work. It has always worked perfectly in the past, so I dont see it being a problem to get that done. This is a common thing to do on these cars. Every other feature in the car is working 100%.  
The car has 49k on it, which is very low for a Cadillac, especially one this age. This car was maintained top notch and has always had its maintanence done. The oil changes are up to date and Mobil 1 was always used in this vehicle.
This vehicle spent most of its life in the garage, so it was never subjected to a cold or wet climate. So, you know this car was maintaned the way it should and no expense was spared. This car just had its oil and tranny fluid serviced, has good brakes, good rotors, and wiper blades.
This Caddy is loaded up with all the rare options. It has leather heated seats, power folding convertible top, Heads-up display panel, upgraded BOSE sound system with CD player, Navigation, rear parking sensors, power tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, chrome  alloy wheels, real burl wood trimming, memory settings, automatic rain sensing wipers, fog lamps, power seats, power mirrors, power locks, automatic power windows, and all the power accessories that you would expect from a XLR.
The car comes with the original Cadillac key with remote fob. We also have the all the original owners manuals and booklets.
The exterior of the car looks nice and clean, even though the front needs fixing. The paint is in nice overall condition and the car shows well but will need some of the work done in the front, as mentioned. There are no dents or scratches on the vehicle otherwise.
The interior of the car is immaculate. The seats are is fantastic condition and show no wear at all. The wood trims and leather has held up amazingly and it is all intact. The carpets and other panels are all in great shape and all the mechanicals and electricals are 100%. Every single feature in this vehicle is working the way it should. There is no surprises or dissappointments with this vehicle. Its a cool car all the way and will provide someone with a really great value for their money.
This car is being sold as-is, where-is, and there is no warranties expressed or implied. This vehicle has a Rebuilt title from New York. It is YOUR responsibility to find out the laws and regulations for titling this vehicle in your state. If you would like to see the car and test drive it, you are more than welcome to do so. Also, feel free to ask me about the buy-it-now price. If you are located outside my local area, I will assist in any way possible in having the car shipped to you at your cost. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within 24 hours on the auctions end. The remaining balance must be paid in full by 3 days after the closing of the auction unless other arrangements are discussed with me in advance. With that being said, feel free to email, call, or text me at anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and good luck bidding!

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Lansing builds its millionth Cadillac

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Cadillacs are built at plants across North America. The Escalade is assembled in Texas, the SRX in Mexico and the XTS in Ontario. But the bulk of Cadillac's lineup - or the smaller members of the family, at least - are built in Michigan. And while the upcoming ELR will be built alongside the Chevy Volt at the Detroit/Hamtramck facility (which incidentally opened with the Cadillac Eldorado back in '86), the majority of those Cadillacs built in Michigan are handled by the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant.
In fact, Lansing Grand River just celebrated its millionth Cadillac built. The landmark millionth vehicle is a new 2014 CTS sedan in Red Obsession Tintcoat. The facility opened in 2001 and has built Cadillacs almost exclusively since then, assembling the CTS and ATS model lines, though in a couple of years it will also handle production of the Chevy Camaro.

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.
