I have followed the posts and threads on the undercarriage rust issue with GM. I own 2 Cadillac escalades. I purchased Escalade brand new in 2007 and another purchased in 2008 which I traded my 2002(also bought brand new) in for the brand new 2008. Within a year the brake rotor rusted completely and peeled and warranty replaced. Again, within a year another set of rotors or rotors and brakes rusted ... Read More
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/26/rumormill-cadillac-to-get-its-own-volt/ With enormous V8 land-yachts and even bigger Escalades rolling down America's boulevards, Cadillac's doesn't have the most environmentally friendly of images. But that's a perception that the premium GM division is working hard to combat. After unveiling the Escalade two-mode hybrid, reports have begun to surface that Cadillac is considering a four-cylinder model for the American market like the Saab-based BLS it offers in Europe. New emerging reports now suggest ... Read More

We all have our favorites, our own loyalties and preferences. But in a survey of new vehicle buyers released today, only one brand can be at the top. The number one brand in the US in owner satisfaction in 2008 is Cadillac, according to AutoPacific’s annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) study. This study is based solely on the opinions of actual new vehicle owners rating their new 2008 models. AutoPacific adds ... Read More
Hi 996twint. Interestingly, the 2008 Cadillac Escalade's lease rates and residual values are currently exactly the same as the 2007 models' numbers. Take a look at my previous post to see what they are. As a result, given the additional cash incentives and dealer discounts that will be available on them at this point it will be cheaper to lease an '07 model.

Hi robihris99. unfortunately, the $2,000 customer cash that General Motors is currently providing on the 2008 Cadillac Escalade is not compatible with its special lease program. GM is currently providing a cash incentive of $850 on leases of this truck plus an additional $1,000 owner loyalty / conquest cash that is available to just about everyone ($1,850 total).

Hi srf2. The lease rate that you were quoted on the Escalade that you're interested in looks great to me. It's right in line with GMAC's current base rate for a 39 month lease of a 2008 Cadillac Escalade. You never mentioned the selling price of the truck that you are interested in leasing though. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, ... Read More

Short answer: no. GM has decided that the CTS should be a 300C with a better interior; the SRX, STS, and DTS are slated to die at the end of the decade, and the replacement for the latter two will be a rebodied Holden sedan; the Escalade will continue to to be a gadgetologized Tahoe (to borrow a Rockyism); and the XLR will continue to be an overpriced angular body on ...

Her is some interesteing data from July 2007. According to the industry examiners at CNW Research, Cadillac’s fortunes appear to be slipping away at the margins. In the firm’s July installment of their Retail Automotive Summary, their Aspirational Index (which judges a brand’s attractiveness to consumers) reveals that Cadillac’s rising star is beginning to falter. In the mid-Nineties, the marque rated only a 4 on a 10 point scale. With the ... Read More

what do numbers from 2005 have to do with the 2008 CTS which has been on sale since August? If you read some of the consumer reviews on Edmunds you will see that many of the people who have commented cross-shopped and/or owned import luxury brands. Not sure what that says about their age but I suspect its a sign that they are younger than typical Caddy buyers. The other thing ... Read More

Certainly the DTS is Cadillac's biggest sedan. However, the Lincoln Towncar is bigger, if bigger is important. If baddddd is important, then the Escalade is something to consider. I think for the old set, Cadillac is an icon, and the deVille (dts) is iconic. Devilles were best sellers for Cadillac from the late 50's through the 90's. CTS sales are nearly on a par with DTS now and the 2008 CTS ... Read More

That's because instead of the same old trite nonsense that they had been doing before, the CTS was a fresh idea from the ground up, designed by automobile enthusiasts, tested and driven by American and European professionals with accolades. The Catera, technically wasn't even a Cadillac persay. It was a cosmetically engineered car imported from Germany (Opel). It was a mediocre version of the car at best, which may have been ...

Dealers have just started to get the 2008s but my dealer told me they are "keeping them in the back since they still have a lot of 2007s to sell". I talked to a Cadillac rep and was told that the first build date for the 2008s was 6/26/07 for the Arlington Texas plant. The 2008s are coming out somewhat early since the 2007 model year was longer then normal. However, ... Read More
...that Cadillac doesn't think it is already back on top and starts to slack-off again. Cadillac's rennaisance began with the 1992 Seville and Eldorado.

I am a Caddy fan, and I agree with your assessment 95%. Yes, German cars offer advanced technology and refined ride, but are less reliable. The "bells & whistles" make German cars desirable even if reliability is below par. Lets not forget the Germans have lost some of their customer base to Lexus. In 1989 Mercedes & BMW pretty much owned the Luxury segment, and now their fighting for second place. ... Read More

Cadillac, is the Standard of the World with the Escalade SUV, the SRX CUV, and the EXT, is the luxury pick-up benchmark. ;) The 2008 CTS, very well could be the standard of the world in entry/lux segment. Rocky
