Why is This Man Freaking Out Screaming "Kill Me" and "Sprechen Sie Deutsch"? [NSFW]


Just so you don't start thinking that Russia is the only country in the world where crazy things happen on the road, here's a bizarre incident that took place in Rochester, Michigan.

For the record, we first stumbled upon a version of the video uploaded on YouTube today, but upon further research, we discovered an older edition uploaded by a user nicknamed "onetwodo2001" in April of 2011, which we believe to be the original (if we're wrong, send us a message).

The driver with the camera slows down when he sees a white Cadillac DTS that had exited the road at the point where a black Corvette had pulled (?) over.

New Cadillac ATS 3.6 vs. BMW 335i and Mercedes C350 in MT's 6-Cylinder Rematch


Like the VW Golf, the BMW 3-Series has been dominant for so long, shrugging off one newcomer after another, that it practically defined the premium compact sports sedan segment.

This, of course, makes it not only harder for BMW engineers to come up with something better every time there's a replacement due, but it also makes it the car all rivaling manufacturers have set as their benchmark.

Cadillac has made quite a fuss about its new ATS being a bona-fide, Nürburgring-bred sports saloon that can take on the best – i.e. the brand new, F30 3-Series.

Two Cadillac Escalades Following their Boss in a Maybach Collide with Each Other and an Audi A4


Convoys of two, three or more cars following either a government official or one of the wealthy capitalists that emerged in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, is nothing new, but watching these vehicles crash into each other is something we don't get to see very often, if at all.

According to the date displayed on the dashcam video, an incident of this sort happened last Friday, October 19, when what we assume to be the security personnel riding in Cadillac Escalade SUVs were trying to keep up to their boss who was in a black Maybach saloon, while also prohibiting any other vehicles from breaking their formation.

Cadillac ATS 2.0L Turbo Loses Another Test Against BMW 328i, this Time by Car&Driver


The new BMW 328i (F30) has clinched another victory in a comparison test against General Motors' newcomer in the category, the 2013 Cadillac ATS with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, again on its American rival's turf.

MT Compares Cadillac ATS Against BMW 3-Series: And the Winner Is….


If there is one car that General Motors' newly launched Cadillac ATS compact sports sedan has to prove its worth to, it is the model that has defined the category in every possible way for more than 20 years: the BMW 3-Series sedan.

And it is these two sport sedans that Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman brings together for a driving comparison in the latest episode of "Head 2 Head". The cars of choice are the Cadillac ATS with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and the BMW 328i.

The latest iteration of the BMW 3-Series, codenamed F30, has a lot in common with Cadillac's second attempt in the segment after the poorly received and executed (Saab 9-3-based) BLS, which was sold in Europe and Russia.

There's no place like the Nürburgring Nordschleife when it comes to testing and honing the handling dynamics of a vehicle, something that even General Motors has long accepted.

Can the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Match Up to the New 2013 BMW M5 Saloon? [w/Poll]


From the moment BMW decided to place the M badge on its 5-Series sedan back in the mid-1980s, the M5 immediately created its own niche in the executive saloon segment. In fact, it become so popular that many the Bavarian firm's rivals followed its example in the years that came after the original M5's launch.

Perhaps one of the more surprising challengers was GM's Cadillac CTS-V, the first generation of which was presented in 2004 before it was replaced by the current model in 2008.

Just last month, BMW announced that it will offer a customizable digital instrument display on the 2013 model year 5-Series and facelifted 7-Series, while recent spy photos prove that the next Mercedes-Benz S-Class will also have this future.

For once, Cadillac is not trailing behind its rivals in features introducing an available Reconfigurable Gauge Cluster on its new top sedan model, the 2013 XTS that just went on sale in the States.

Another case of a GM model and one of its airbags opening without a collision of any sorts during a fast ride on the track has hit the web.

We don't know if they are related, but a similar incident occurred earlier this week when according to Jalopnik, GM Engineer Brad Doerr took his Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon for fun day of auto-crossing before his wedding.

New Cadillac Ad Admits that Audi A6 is Faster than the CTS…in Price Depreciation


We are going to confess that before we pressed play on Cadillac's latest advert, we thought the concept would be similar to the brand's previous commercial that pitted an Escalade against a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan

Disappointingly, this time, there was no race between the 2012 Cadillac CTS and the 2012 Audi A6 mid-size sedan.

Cadillac Jumps on the Driverless Bandwagon, Says Tech Could be Ready for Production by 2015


These days, a number of automakers including Audi, Volkswagen and BMW are testing various semi-autonomous driving technologies. In fact, even internet giant Google has given it a shot, so it should not come to a surprise that GM's flagship brand Cadillac is also heavily investing in this field.

Cadillac's semi-autonomous technology is named "Super Cruise" and it is capable of fully automatic steering, braking and lane-centering in highway driving under certain optimal conditions. The automaker said that the system could be ready for production vehicles by 2015.

Battle of the Wagons: MT Compares Cadillac CTS-V Against Mercedes E63 AMG Estate


It would be hard to believe a few years back, but today, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz make two of the wackiest high-performance family cars available in the States.

We're talking about the $64,340 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon and the even pricier $94,075 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate. Though very similar in philosophy, the two cars have their differences.

The CTS-V measures 191.3-inches (4,859mm) long and offers a cargo capacity of 25.4 cu ft. It is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that's good for 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft (746Nm) of torque. A 6-speed manual delivers power to the rear wheels while the wagon tips the scales at 4,353 pounds (1,974kg).

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon gets Strapped to the Dyno, Results Compared with CLS 63 AMG


The Corvette may be the quintessential American sports car, but it's not the only one to challenge established European brands.

Over the past few years, GM's Cadillac division has also churned out some pretty interesting proposals targeting Germany's finest, namely the products made by Audi Quattro GmbH, BMW M and Mercedes-Benz AMG.

The CTS-V in all three body styles is one them. A 6.2-liter V8 engine aided by an Eaton supercharger helps the CTS-V produce 556-horses and 551 lb-ft (746.2 Nm) of torque, matching or even beating its German opponents.
