    Many of us would go so far as to call Cadillac’s Blackwing cars heroic, iconic, and legendary sports sedans. GM’s luxury brand might not lead the realm in the world’s fancy department but it sure knows how to build chassis and a saloon that drives like a much smaller car. But not everyone wants or…

    “I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE” Jeremy Clarkson once proclaimed while cutting down a tree somewhere in the depths of Bolivia. Obviously, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V-Series didn’t exist yet. The 682-horsepower, 6200-pound mass of mayhem and madness defies all logic and sensibility. Its quad tips produce the loudest bellow anyone has heard from a…

    Amidst a flurry of life mayhem I spent a week with the 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport. Having grown up in a household consisting solely of GM vehicles (Tahoes, mainly) the Escalade stood atop the pedestal of what luxury meant, a symbol of making the financial leap from Chevy to wealthy. Years on, the Escalade still…

    The 2023 Cadillac is a full-size luxury SUV packing 682 horsepower from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. It can rip from 0-60 mph in under 4.4 seconds. And it’s also serene, quiet, and comfortable on the inside… until you mash the throttle or blast the 36-speaker AKG sound system. What a silly thing in this…

    Standard of the world. The Cadillac of things. The name Cadillac used to be synonymous with being the best. That is exactly, if cautiously, what I was hoping for from the Cadillac XT4, the Crossover Touring 4, a relatively new small CUV from the brand. Truthfully, I was not sure what to expect. I have…

    Blackwing is one of the coolest names in the automotive world. And on the Cadillac CT6, specifically, it’s already dead. Cadillac spent millions developing a brand-specific engine in the Blackwing. And then decided to kick it to the curb.

    A few weeks ago Cadillac asked if I would like to attend the IMSA race at Laguna Seca as a guest of theirs. They offered me my choice of loaner car for the weekend, and I had already intended to go to the race anyway, so I agreed without hesitation. I chose the venerable Escalade…
