Cadillac XTS Platinum – Luxury Plug-in Hybrid Concept

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Cadillac is a name some considered to be representative of the world’s finest luxury cars, and symbolizes a self-made success in those who own one.

The Cadillac XTS Platinum concept car has layers of unique materials that make the luxury of the XTS interior unforgettable. In bringing this combination of wood inlay, leather and chrome all together, the materials signify a depth to the luxury.

The uncompromisable XTS includes a soft, padded, and leather wrapped area below the steering wheel to ensure the driver’s knees never bump into a hard surface, even if it were a rare possibility.

The XTS could represent new heights never before reached in terms of luxury, and is clearly inventing new ways to stay on top and live up to it’s heritage. Cadillac has certainly gone to the extreme but don’t get too sleepy thinking about it, just in case they decide to drop a 556-hp V8 from the CTS V Coupe in one or two of these.

The Cadillac XTS is described by it’s interior designer to be the likes of a flower, an orchid with the petals being represented by the layers of unique materials. A symphony orchestra playing would make it all too perfect should luxury and finesse be your cup of tea.

And to top it off, the XTS makes its way into the luxury hybrid category, by offering plug-in capability to any standard household outlet to charge it’s 8 kWh lithium ion battery.

The Cadillac XTS is quite capable of challenging the higher priced competitors of it’s class and offer a level of quality and interior comfort most would expect at prices well above the target $40,000 mark. The XTS is expected to begin production sometime in 2012.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

The 2010 Cadillac SRX has been redesigned from the ground up to feature striking style, powerful performance and the uncanny ability to send European automakers reeling.

Cadillac’s newest introduction strikes a fine balance between the performance-oriented luxury of a sedan and the spacious capability of an SUV. As sleek as it is sensible, the 2010 SRX provides an exceptionally agreeable alternative to high-priced, and in many instances, inferior European imports. The company’s latest simply exudes confidence and modern style, and is aptly primed to shake up a segment in dire need of innovation.

Outside, Cadillac’s SRX is thicker and more muscular than any previous iteration, though it still retains the comfortable, reasonable size that enhances its nimble performance and real-world functionality. Its stance alone, highlighted by available 20-inch alloys, connotes an unmistakable sense of stability and balance. Lines are chiseled into the body and stretched the length of it, slicing through wind like few other five-passenger vehicles can.

Cadillac’s famous craftsmanship is highlighted by the hand-cut and hand-sewn coverings on an instrument panel that features a popup navigation screen with 3D imaging and ambient lighting details. Adaptive forward lighting swivels the headlamps in sync with the steering. Even the scripted Cadillac logos in the front door sill plates light up when the doors are opened.
