'Vette-powered Escalade or XT5 - Which Is the Future?

Has Cadillac lost its way? Today, Automotive News reports that Cadillac's Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus said the company's goal with its newest vehicle, the XT5 "... is to gain the attention of fashionistas, rather than cater to car buffs and auto journalists. Because in his view, younger customers are less interested in the technical details of cars, and don't read car magazines as often as they used to." We're not sure anyone reads any "magazines" anymore, but Mr. Ellinghaus at least seems to have a direction for the struggling luxury automaker to head in. Except that Cadillac is not heading that way according to Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman, who reports that the next car-buff Cadillac will be an Escalade powered by the same engine as the Corvette. This follows the new CTS-V, which is targeted at car buffs and is powered by an engine like the one in the Corvette.

When Chevrolet spilled the beans on the 2016 Silverado yesterday at the State Fair of Texas, a curious detail stood out to us. Silverado is saying goodbye to the halogen headlamp. Even base WT models will now come standard with HID headlights.

Is The Dash On Your GM Truck Cracked? New Lawsuit News. 1 2 3 4 7

Teaser Paragraph:

9/9/2015
A newly filed lawsuit in Wisconsin says that GM knew it had a problem with cracking dashboards. ABC News has reported that the suit alleges GM tried to find a cause other than its manufacturing and materials to blame the problem on. GM is also not covering the repairs of trucks out of warranty since this is not a safety hazard. However, there are reports that GM dealerships are offering to pay half of the cost of repairs. We do not have that from GM directly.

Air Lift Updates Its Self-Levelling System

By Gorehamj

September 24, 2015

How many times have you seen a truck towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load and the rear-end of the truck is fully compressed onto its suspension stops? Self-leveling systems can prevent this and keep a vehicle more stable while towing. Air Lift has just introduced its new SmartAir II system.

Followers 0

The system works with air bags to detect when a vehicle is not level and to bring it back to level. The dual path system can even regulate left and right springs independently. The kit comes with a pre-assembled wiring harness, electronic sensor system, compressor and an illustrated instruction manual for easy installation. The system doesn't work with all suspensions, so check with the company to see if it will work with your truck.

We recently reviewed two AirLift's products, the RideControl and WirelessOne. The new Smart Air II is an intelligent step up that will manage air pressure for you.

Do you use an air suspension while towing?
