People might still be gun-shy to spend a lot of money these days, but lucky for Cadillac, July sales are an indication that auto buyers are willing to put their hard earned money toward a quality product. In Chicago, Cadillac models sold in July 2010 doubled the amount that went off lots in July 2009. This is due to the high performing models that GM works hard to produce, like the Chicago CTS.

Check out the all-new 2010 Chicago Cadillac SRX. With luxury features that fit anyone’s lifestyle, this vehicle is sure to fit your driving needs. Watch the video then give us a call at Patrick Cadillac for a test drive!

The longest-reigning maker of luxury autos in this nation is Cadillac. Plainly, simply, Cadillac makes luxury vehicles for Americans better than anyone, and they’ve done it for decades. So it should come as no surprise that Cadillac has tweaked its SRX to offer the utmost luxury and style in its class. Admittedly, when I took a Chicago SRX test drive last year, I was one of the many that was less than overwhelmed with the SRX design and feel.

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.

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.

After unveiling the new Cadillac Converj Concept vehicle at last year’s North American International Auto Show, the idea of a sporty, electric-hybrid vehicle addition to the Cadillac line-up seemed more of fairy tale.  But with the new Chevy Volt already scheduled to make its way to showroom floors late next year, the new revolutionary electric propulsion Voltec technology will see its debut and possibly spark the next generation of GM electric-hybrid vehicles for Chicago Cadillac showrooms, assuming reception goes swimmingly.

The ATS and XTS Cadillac sedans promise to be the most exciting thing to happen to Cadillac in decades. The XTS is a full-size sedan that looks almost exactly like the Sixteen Concept everybody got so excited about. Of course, that concept was so named because of its massive V16 engine that probably went from 0-60 in something like -2.9 seconds. Naturally, the XTS that likely will head to Chicago Cadillac dealers will come equipped with the more reasonable, but still highly powerful, next-generation small block V8. Continue Reading…
