CTS-V videos

April 26, 2008 - 5:22 pm

The good folks over at Cadillac have posted some pretty cool, behind the scenes, videos from the engineers developing the CTS-V.

The major lesson you’ll take from these is the work they’ve done to make the car consistent, controllable, and predictable when being driven hard.

I’ve embedded the 3 videos thus far below for your enjoyment.

Forum issues…

April 19, 2008 - 8:53 pm

Update: The hosting company has corrected the issue and forum posting/replying is working now.

I apologize for not catching this sooner…I realized today that the site host has made a change to PHP that is preventing posting in the forums.

I have reported it to them and expect to have everything back to normal as soon as possible.

BTX shows its grill

April 19, 2008 - 12:30 pm

Leftlane News has spotted Cadillac’s new small SUV flashing its grill-work and showing a lot of similarities to the Provoq concept from this years Detroit auto show.

2010 BTXBuilt off GM’s Premium Theta (which, according to LLN, is packing some parts from GM’s Epsilon mid-size car chassis as well), the BRX (we hear it will be BTX) will share this high-end version of Theta with Saab’s new 9-4x crossover.

Both should reach production late in 2009 as 2010 model year vehicles.

Check out LLN’s spy shots and their opinion on what we’re seeing here at:
