A first edition is desired by some because they are the first, even with all the typical first production quirks. Last year vehicles are the most desirable because it is generally recognized that the factory finally sorts out all of the deficiencies, adds the best features, improves the engineering, creates the best handling, and ups the power, to finally get everything right. Then the model was unceremoniously pulled, leaving Cadillac and Allante fans disappointed and collectors left wanting… Want no more, as this Last Year Allante, with only miles will not disappoint. Seven model years earlier, Cadillac offered up the first Allante to help re-capture the Cadillac reputation as a premium luxury car builder. The debut and construction was significant and unique, blending luscious Italian design bodies built by Pininfarina, shipped via special Boeing 747 cargo planes to Detroit for assembly. All Allantes are Front Wheel Drive, bringing something unique to the luxury sporty car world, and backed up by a torquey V-8 and automatic transmission, American-style. By 1993, the drive train was a dialed-in with a one-year only, upgraded 4.6L DOHC (dual overhead cam) V-8 providing 295 horsepower and 290 ft/lb of torque, with a new and improved 4T80-E automatic transmission. The 0-60 times dropped dramatically compared to earlier Allantes; it gets there in only 6.4 seconds. Top speed for the ’93 model increased to 140 mph, and the vehicle remained stable all the way… A new suspension was engineered for the 1993 model, identified as “Road Sensing Suspension” for improved handling. Combined with a revised variable assist power steering rack, the ’93 Allante was the best handling of the production run. With only 4,670 examples built in this year, there are not many in this condition. It still rides like a new Cadillac luxury sports car. Be the next to have the best of the last… This 1993 Allante is a prime example of an original, well cared for convertible with hard top that has seen three owners its entire life. Sold originally in Arizona, it then came to Carlsbad California and now resides in La Jolla Calif.

Cadillac abandons plans for six-digit flagship sedan

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment.
Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.

Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."

GM moving international sales HQ to Singapore from Shanghai

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

General Motors has announced that it will be moving its international headquarters from Shanghai to Singapore, a move that will see 120 employees working from the city-state by the time business opens in 2014. Meanwhile, 250 to 300 of the employees at the Shanghai office will remain in China, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The shuffle is part of a bigger reorganization that will see GM isolate its operations in the People's Republic from its broader international efforts. This sort of divide-and-conquer strategy will allow GM to still react to emerging markets while, according to the WSJ, providing a dedicated management team for the Chinese market. The team in Singapore will be responsible for operations in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, India, South Korea and the Middle East, on top of managing Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, according to a statement from GM.
The shift to Singapore "will help us to create a renewed identity for CIO (Consolidated International Operations) and lead GM's umbrella strategy for the region," said GM Executive Vice President of CIO, Stefan Jacoby.
