The All-New 2014 Cadillac CTS
In recent years, Cadillac has engineered a historic renaissance.
The CTS is the brand's centerpiece, and the 2014 model is the
third-generation CTS sedan to debut. The all-new 2014 CTS is based
on the high-performing rear-drive architecture of the award-winning
ATS sport sedan, moving Cadillac into the prestigious class of
midsize luxury sedans. It will be the segment's lightest car,
enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class. A range of
power-dense powertrains underpin its performance, including the
all-new Cadillac Twin-Turbo engine and eight-speed automatic
transmission.
The new CTS sedan is the first Cadillac to offer Automatic Parking
Assist, which enables the car to park itself in parallel spaces.
The new model also features Cadillac's patented Safety Alert Seat
technology, 10 standard air bags, and the brand's signature
infotainment system, CUE. OnStar is standard for one year.
Production of the 2014 CTS begins this fall in Lansing, Mich.
Buick Wins Kelley Blue Book 2013 Brand Image Award for

The 2013 Brand Image Awards, presented to the top
brands in 13 categories, are based on consumer automotive
perception data from Kelley Blue Book Market Intelligence's Brand

The New 2014 Buick LaCrosse
To give customers more reasons to rediscover Buick, the new
LaCrosse features more luxury amenities, new radar- and
camera-based safety features, Adaptive Cruise Control, the brand's
next-generation IntelliLink infotainment system, and Buick's
QuietTuning engineering process that reduces noise in the cabin -
making it one of the quietest in the segment. The new LaCrosse goes
on sale this summer.
The New 2014 Buick Regal
According to Buick, nearly half of new Regal buyers are conquests
who are new to Buick, and they represent the youngest median age
among the brand's lineup. The new 2014 Regal midsize sedan is a
more expressive, more connected and more technologically advanced
version of its predecessor. The new Regal introduces new safety
technologies and a more refined turbo engine - along with the
introduction of all-wheel drive. In-vehicle connectivity is
enhanced with next-generation IntelliLink. Adaptive Cruise Control
is also offered. It senses traffic in front of the Regal to adjust
vehicle speed, including stopping the vehicle in heavy traffic and
accelerating again. The new Regal goes on sale this fall.
