Gallery issues and SLS interior pics

November 14, 2006 - 10:23 am

Well, we’ve successfully moved the Caddy Edge to a new hosting company.

However, as you may notice, the thumbnails in our image gallery are not appearing correctly.

I will be working to fix this glitch soon. In the meantime, you can still browse images in the gallery (including lots of photos of the interior of the SLS, which should become the 2008 STS interior), you just can’t navigate visually yet.

Thanks to Cheers and Gears for posting these interior photos.

SLSCadillac SLS? ‘What’s that?’ I hear you saying…

Well, the SLS is a new, Chinese specific, model just announced by Cadillac.

It is not yet known if the SLS will become a model for other markets, but since the engineering is done, it would be relatively simple.

The SLS is available with the 2.8l and 3.6l VVT V-6 engines as well as the 4.6l Northstar V-8.

And now, the press release:

Consumer Reports love

November 10, 2006 - 2:01 pm

Consumer Reports, bible for folks looking for reliable products of any stripe, have put out their list of ‘Recommended’ vehicles for 2007.

This year, 3 Cadillacs have managed to make the list. The CTS, CTS-V, and the DTS.


In determining which vehicles it will recommend, Consumer Reports considers the following criteria: 1) Favorable results in the magazine’s performance tests that measure such things as ride and handling, emergency handling, braking, fit and finish, controls and displays, seat comfort, transmission, fuel economy and acceleration; 2) Average/better than average reliability in the magazine’s annual subscriber survey; and 3) Competitive safety performance based on NHTSA and IIHS test results.

Read all about it along with other vehicles from GM that made the recommended list at:

Highlighted by 26” Wheels (Yikes!), custom Strut grille, and highly unusual baby blue paint, the DUB Escalade EXT shows that even the folks who think the Escalade is a bit on the flashy side haven’t seen anything yet.
