Cadillac To Debut New Concept At CES Plus The 2009 CTS-V And Escalade Hybrid at Detroit

Cadillac extends its ongoing design and technology momentum with tomorrow's debut of the Provoq Concept, a vision for a petroleum-free future of luxury transportation. GM CEO Rick Wagoner will present the Cadillac Provoq concept vehicle January 8 at the influential Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, beginning a showcase of Cadillac's future performance technology and design that will continue at next week's North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

The Provoq Concept continues Cadillac's remarkable heritage of landmark concept vehicles, this time in a vehicle free from petroleum fuel and emissions, the ultimate luxury. Provoq will make its world premiere at one of the world's leading technology showcases at CES, appearing again at one of the foremost automotive stages in Detroit on Jan. 14.

Cadillac accelerates into Detroit with another dramatic demonstration of its design and performance technology, the world premiere of the 2009 CTS-V. Cadillac's high performance V-Series represents the ultimate expression of the brand's performance and luxury, and the much-anticipated new CTS-V will include many significant technical and design enhancements aimed at placing it within the elite group of the world's most capable cars.

The 2009 CTS-V extends the momentum created by Cadillac's 2008 CTS Sport Sedan, which is earning wide acclaim from critics and consumers alike. Since September, CTS sales are up 59.5% in the U.S. CTS was recently named 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year, headlining a long list of accolades that also includes positions on Car and Driver magazine's 10Best list and as a finalist for 2008 North American Car of the Year.

Also appearing in Detroit next week will be the Escalade Hybrid, featuring a fuel-saving Two Mode Hybrid system combining a gas engine with electric battery power. The Escalade Hybrid, beginning production in mid-2008, extends the desirability of the leading large luxury SUV.

never said a hybrid couldn't be used in a larger vehicle...the GS/LS does well with the technology

and IMO it is an oxymoron, you're a user of intellectual words...MOST not understanding 3/4ths of what you impose here but...

SUV = gas guzzling, oversized, bad greenhouse
hybrid = gas saving, great greenhouse

together you have a mediocre, oversized, even more overweight mammoth due to the hybrid of the vehicle.

one would assume you could just be smart and buy a minivan and be content with the same mpg you'd get (if not more) from the hybrid SUV proposed here.

smart consumers choose vehicles intellectually, not fashionably.

minivan over suv anyday, IMO...

SUV should = Diesel not hybrid. If the price is right and makes atleast a 3mpg jump then it is worth it. We'll see what GM will pull out of its hat...

He says Escalade equals ghetto trash! He obviously don't get out very often. Here in Southern California, those from the ghetto aren't the only ones that drive Escalades.

every time I see an escalade in my area, it would have ugly chromes rims (not the stock 22s). no matter what this car will have its gay bling factor, and is really nothing more than a glorified tahoe/suburban.
