Check out the video for the all new 2010 Chicago Cadillac CTS. It has definitely received a sport face-lift that CTS fans will appreciate. Swing by the dealership to see this car up close and personal!

The wagon is a good vehicle if you are looking for something that drives like a sedan, you like the crossover concept, but might not want the traditional SUV.  This wagon has plenty of cargo space.  It also comes with a roof rack with adjustable bars for transporting a kayak, bikes, or whatever you might need for a long trip.  The good thing is that the rack does not stand out and make the wagon look tacky.  Plenty of cargo and transporting space makes me want to check it out at my Cadillac dealer Chicago.

The design of this wagon is very sleek and luxurious looking, a property that Cadillac employs across the board in new and Chicago Cadillac used cars. When you see one coming your way, take notice of the way the roof-line slopes down, as well as the taillights.  They are around 3 feet tall and come together at the roof-line.  Very distinct.  In the front of the auto, the grille is larger and contains the large Cadillac logo.  All of these put together make for a beautiful wagon!

How does it drive?  The CTS wagon comes in 2, v6 engines.  The base is a 3.0 L, 270 HP and the step up gives 304 Hp and is 3.6 L.   Engines of this power will give you that speed and power you  crave, while toting around your family!  It handles well and has great braking capabilities, features that are found in all Chicago CTS cars.  In fact, the CTS can go from 70-0 MPH in 159 ft- wow!  Moreover, the wagon has smooth steering.   The CTS wagon sounds like a vehicle that would be fun to test drive.

Let’s hope that the lowered price of the wagon gets buyers into their Cadillac dealer Chicago soon to buy this great vehicle

Here’s a great video from Left Lane News about the re-designed 2010 Cadillac SRX:

Definitely with its new design, I would pick the SRX above the Lexus RX and other competitor models. There is still nothing that really makes a driver feel as special as owning a Cadillac. And with some of the design nods to Cadillac’s roots in the 50s, this is a model sure to entice both the classic and contemporary car buyer. While I haven’t yet been to a Cadillac Chicago dealer to check out the new version, I intend for my Chicago SRX text drive to be much more fun than my past SRX experiences. I might even get a few looks from the ladies in the 2010 model.

Profile view of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon

My parents had a wagon when I was a little kid. It was ugly, the vinyl seats melted to my legs in the summer, and we all had to wait for Dad to back it out of the driveway before getting inside to make sure it didn’t scrape the street on the way out. It was so inconvenient it took me two years before I fully believed it wasn’t a joke and I wasn’t on Candid Camera. All I can think about when I look at the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon is how much better it must be to be a kid these days. But before I diverge into my childhood stories, I should start writing about the new CTS Wagon.

With the Cadillac CTS continuing to be so amazingly successful, it makes sense Cadillac would build upon that design. The 2010 CTS Wagon was announced about nine months ago, and will hit dealerships this spring. Its appearances at auto shows have left a lot of people wanting to test drive one, including me of course. Here’s a short video that shows some nice angles of the car in action.

The back is my favorite part so I’ve made sure to include a picture of it in this post. The long, vertical tail lights. The v-shape tailgate. Isn’t it menacingly alluring? I think Cadillac succeeded in making a car of a different style and shape that continued the CTS design. The rear was the most varying aspect, and they did a really nice job designing it.

See? I told you the back end was alluring.

All-wheel drive will be available, as will optional 19-inch wheels and a larger, more panoramic sunroof, add-ons that will make the car especially fun to drive.

The wagon will sport a direct-injection 3.6-liter V-6 that puts out 304 horsepower. The best thing about the engine is that it will achieve the same 26 mpg on the highway as the sedan does.

So anyone who loves the CTS style but has held off for something with more space will have to wait no longer. This is the best wagon yet for luxury and looks.

The Cadillac Provoq Fuel Cell Concept

GM claims to be committed to displacing petroleum as soon as possible, and they seem to be backing it up. Looking at the newly-unveiled Provoq fuel cell concept, you have to think Cadillac is near the cutting edge of green technology. This vehicle uses the lauded E-Flex propulsion system used on the Chevy Volt, but combines it with a fuel cell system and a lithium-ion battery to yield a vehicle that creates no emissions.

Fuel cell development is something I watch carefully, and I believe Cadillac’s use of the E-Flex/fuel cell combination is a major step forward in reducing oil dependence and carbon emissions.

This technology’s progress is imaginatively promising—like 100 times as cool as the breakthroughs in science that brought us key-chained electronic pets. The Provoq is using a fifth-generation fuel cell, which is half the size of its predecessor and produces more power. Going 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds, this fuel cell is improved 30 percent over the previous generation. This concept can make it 300 miles on a single fill of hydrogen, with 20 of those miles coming entirely from the battery. Making gains like this, I can see feasibility for this idea on the horizon.

Design-wise, you wouldn’t know the Provoq was anything but a fashionable, roomy crossover. It shows no extra bulk nor does it intrude on the roomy interior, and it really builds upon Cadillac’s sleek, sharp-edged look. I see this as great news for the brand and for the future of hydrogen-powered vehicles, that Cadillac can create a stylish, luxurious fuel cell at this stage in the technology’s development.

To assist in the vehicle’s efficiency, the Provoq has a roof-mounted solar panel that provides power for interior lighting and audio systems. Another feature aimed at efficiency is a front grille that closes at highway speed to reduce drag. I can just see myself pretending I’m Batman in this thing.

Currently, it seems you have to choose between what’s good for the environment and what is stylish, and, although the Provoq won’t hit showrooms anytime soon, this car certainly marries eco-friendly with luxury.

When might we see it? Although Cadillac has made a vehicle both luxurious and green, the expense of fuel cells and batteries still makes this concept rather cost-prohibitive. But as technology improves to allow more affordability, I expect Cadillac to be leading the way in luxury fuel cell vehicles.
