Used Cadillac Pennsylvania
Cadillac's roster, traditionally a sedan automaker, more recently
includes SUVs, trucks, and two-passenger convertibles. By the '90s,
Cadillac's days as a top-selling trendsetter seemed to be over. In
response to flagging sales, the automaker revised its outlook and
its vehicles, conjuring up an exciting Art & Science design
philosophy that helped give the company new life. Today's Cadillac
models are known for offering powerful engines, chiseled lines and a
full accoutrement of luxury features. For those looking for a
vehicle with SUV utility, size, and design Cadillac offers a used
SUV that is true luxury, the Escalade.
The Escalade was redesigned
in 2007 is comes in regular and extended length versions. It is a
huge vehicle with a cavernous cabin and immense power and towing
capability. For SUV like utility, along with better mileage and
handling, the used Cadillac SRX is a midsize sport utility vehicle
launched as an early 2004 model, available with a V-6 or V-8 under
the hood. Bridging the gap between luxury sedans and powerful SUVs,
the SRX was Cadillac's first crossover — a model that features the
attributes of more than one vehicle class. For used sedan the
redesigned 2008 Cadillac CTS keeps everything that was good about
the first-generation model and seems to improve everything that
wasn't. More-refined exterior styling, greatly improved interior
design and quality, more power and optional all-wheel drive mean the
CTS is poised to give the Infiniti G35 and other entry-level sport
sedans some tough competition
Finding Cadillac Used Models
Owned by General Motors, Cadillac is America's most prestigious
domestic luxury automaker. For most of its existence, the company
was known exclusively for its cushy, senior-friendly sedans, but in
more recent years the automaker has revised and expanded its lineup
in a successful effort to attract a new, younger generation of
clientele. Born in 1902, Cadillac was founded by Henry Martyn
Leland, a manufacturer of automotive components. He named the
company after a noted French explorer who discovered Detroit in the
early 1700s. Cadillac quickly gained a reputation for specializing
in precise craftsmanship and for using standardized parts. The
success of early Cadillacs like the Model A and the 30 made the
brand a sales success, so much so that the automaker was purchased
by General Motors in 1909.
Soon after World War II, Cadillac history
hit a high point as its tailfinned and chrome-laden cars became the
epitome of American postwar automotive style. Cadillac's tailfin
took its cue from Lockheed's P38 Lightning Aircraft, and was the
brainchild of designer Frank Hershey. The 1980s saw the launch of
the Seville, a vehicle whose unique bustle-back styling sparked a
trend and inspired its share of imitators. That decade also
witnessed the rollout of the Cimarron, a compact built from the same
platform as the Chevy Cavalier. Cadillac has pressed ahead with a
new design philosophy for the 21st century called art and science
which it says incorporates sharp, sheer forms and crisp edges — a
form vocabulary that expresses bold, high-technology design and
invokes the technology used to design it. This new design language
spread from the original CTS across the line all the way up to the
XLR roadster. Cadillac's model line-up mostly includes rear and all
wheel drive sedans, roadsters, crossovers and SUVs. For more
