Lincoln and Cadillac vs. The World

The U.S. is declaring war in some of its allies and Congressional approval is not necessary.  This isn't a military war involving guns, bombs and missiles.  This is an automotive war involving sheet metal, rubber and generous amounts of soft, supple cowhide.

Lincoln, the luxury division of Ford Motor Company, is bringing back an iconic nameplate to re-enter the flagship luxury sedan market.  Say hello to the all-new 2017 Lincoln Continental, unveiled at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

In September 2014,  General Motors announced plans for its luxury brand, Cadillac, to produce a new flagship sedan.  That sedan is the all-new CT6 and consumers can get their first up close and personal look at the CT6 at the Detroit show.

GM Woos Used Car Buyers with New Online Service

Are you in the market for a used car?  If so, and you're interested in certified pre-owned Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac models, General Motors is launching a new online service to help make that purchase a lot easier.

GM Chairwoman and CEO Mary Barra announced the company is offering the new Factory Pre-Owned Collection as GM continues efforts to earn lifelong customers.  FPOC will give customers access to a national inventory of low-mileage former GM lease, daily rental and company-owned vehicles never before available to the public in, what the company describes as, one easy-to-nvigate place.

"We know that many of our customers who are shopping for a used car want to complete more of the process online, and that number is growing," Barra said.  She sees Factory Pre-Owned Collection as an extension of GM's Shop-Click-Drive service for new car purchases.
