Cadillac Takes Us Into The Future

        This year at Monterey Car Week, Cadillac gave a glimpse into what the future will hold for their brand, the Escala. The Cadillac Escala concept was unveiled on August 18^th to much fan-fare and praise, and dealerships and customers are chomping at the bit.

        The Cadillac Escale concept is a radical departure from the current line on Cadillacs. The exterior relies heavily of Asian influences. The next generation CTS, being redubbed the CT5, will most likely experience the same styling shift.

"The design language is the first thing. Exterior design and interior design concepts are already being incorporated in the vehicles that are in development right now."

-Johan de Nysschen, Cadillac's president

        The plan is for the Escala to be built on the CT6 platform. The CT6 is a standard sedan, and the Escala is 6-inches longer and will employ a liftback design. The concept car uses a prototype twin-turbocharged 4.2-liter V-8 engine.

         If the Cadillac Escala concept comes to fruition, then it would essentially take the place of the planned CT8 for the time being. The CT8 program had already been pushed back in favor of consumes’ rapid shift toward crossovers and SUVs.
