The CTS model is a lighter car, made of high tensile steel. It is stiffer, safer, handles better, and above all, is more efficient. ZACK SPENCER

Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands2014 Cadillac CTS

One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufactur-ers and consumers alike.As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and perfor-mance better than most and the Japa-nese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motor’s flagship in terms of refinement and technology.

Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

high tensile steel, is stiffer, safer, handles better and above all is more efficient. What Cadillac didn’t change was the edgy design language they have become known for. The LED accent lights are especially attractive at night and run vertical compared to most cars’ horizontal approach. The longer and lower stance of the CTS makes it look athletic, yet elegant. The one weak area is the back. It lacks the same visual punch as the impressive front grille and headlamps.

Inside The new CTS is lighter than the BMW but it is a bit smaller inside. It’s not as wide and the back seat is a bit shorter. Front seat passengers are treated to plenty of room and a view onto the dash is impressive. The centre console has a touch-screen system called CUE, which has rich colours and striking graphics. The heat, volume and a few other controls are all touch-sen-sitive, meaning they have no dials or switches. The problem is it shows fingerprints and dust against the shiny black plastic.

Drive With a lighter car comes a better perform-ing car, but the heart of any luxury performance car is a solid engine. On this front, Cadillac offers three options and all three have more power than the closest com-petitors. The first is the same 2.0L turbocharged engine used by the ATS. With 272hp it is well above the 240hp offered in the BMW 528i. The

carryover engine is the direct injection 3.6L V6 with 321hp, again more than the 300hp in the 535i. The top of range motor, for now, is the Vsport model with a twin turbocharged version of the 3.6L engine, putting out 420hp. You guessed it, more power than the 400hp found in the V8 550i. The Vsport is only sold as a rear wheel drive car (RWD) where all the others are available with all wheel drive (AWD). The catch is that AWD models come with an 8-speed automatic transmission, but the AWD versions are fitted with a 6-speed unit. The steering offers good feedback to the driver and the suspension is smooth, yet lively, and has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like stan-dard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp 3.6L V6 with 321hp or Turbo 3.6L with 420hpFill-up: 10.5L/6.6L/100km (city/highway 2.0L turbo) Sticker price: $$50,895-$74,495

ProgressThe Chilliwack

B.C. race car driver Cherie Storms told me she was taking an advanced driver training course to appease her father’s wishes.She’d been putting it off

since teenagedom. That said, her father is an ac-complished race car driver and a proficient motorist, so you could argue it was an inevitability.

But she had to find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B

Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season.She grew up in a motor-sports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at

the driving course that her mindset changed.“I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated.

It’s like what my grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator sport.”There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind

us.The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that!We need to be an active participant, not a wallflow-er. Anyone who has taken advanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about.It’s not just about know-ing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more.I understand that this mode of transportation is a necessity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind.We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driving be any dif-ferent? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers? Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there’s a possibility you can change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too much about it, but operating a vehicle is a huge responsibility.Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.For example, if you look

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 to 2012An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart into Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in mid-2009. Style, safety and comfort are fundamental character-istics of an E-Class, which is considered to be one of the safest cars in the world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen. A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predecessor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspen-sion with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation. An optional air suspension was also available with an elec-tronic damping system.The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel.

A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes

the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensi-tive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (traction control), accelera-

tor response, and speed of automatic gear changes. New active safety innova-tions included Attention Assist, which is a driver

drowsiness monitor, Pre-Safe, which is preventative occupant protection system, Adaptive High Beam Assist, which automatically dims

headlight high beams, and an automatic emergency braking system called Dis-tronic Plus.Attention Assist is a warn-

ing system that can sense a drop in driver attention

’05 CHEVROLET BLAZER

at any of the top athletes in their sport, they’re training most of the time. They’re trying to perfect their craft, even when they’re at the top of it.I doubt Sebastian Vettel slums around in his down time, even after winning his fourth consecutive Formula 1 world championship. Sure, he gets a break, but he’s constantly training to be

faster and stronger. In another interview, I chat-ted with Izod Indy racecar driver Simona de Silvestro. She tells me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-season.” She says she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races.If the pros do it, we should to.Some of the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel of a car has been at a driving school. Whether it was the three-day racing school at the Mazda Raceway Laguna

Seca with the Skip Barber program, or a track day at the Mission Raceway with Morrisport Advanced Driving, or even a track program close to you, it’s a win-win. If we’re all safer drivers then the chances of ac-cidents are minimized and we can keep our vehicles dent-free longer. And avoid going through insurance claims. The few hundred dollars it takes to enrol is of infinite worth in the long run.

The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts in parts of B.C.Driving in the winter season

brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stop-ping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a pas-senger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with

tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerat-ing the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient

pressure is always the main cause of tire damage.Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy con-ditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to de-activate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger ve-hicles and actually may take longer to stop. And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempt-ing to stop. The right way is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal evenly. Look farther ahead in traf-fic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. [email protected]

level. It continuously monitors more than 70 different driver performance parameters, such as erratic steering behaviour, and will signal when it’s time for the driver to take a break. Four new E-Class models were added for the 2011 model year: an E350 4MATIC station wagon, E350 BlueTEC diesel sedan, and two convertibles, the E350 cabriolet and E550 cabriolet. At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MATIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63 AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. All models also receive a revised transmission, electric power steering and LED license plates.Even though owner costs tend to be higher than average, the E-Class made Consumer Reports’ ‘Recommended list of cars to buy and the E350 BlueTEC was singled out for special praise.

Kia provided the per-fect rolling soundtrack to Las Vegas’ never-ending light show as the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show opened with five music-inspired all-new 2014 Soul vehicles.The sound-blasting creations feature music-themed builds including a DJ Booth Soul, an “Amped” Soul, the museum-like Music Memorabilia Soul, a Soul inspired by The Voice, which Kia has sponsored for four seasons, and a Soul highlighting the brand’s partnership with the Vans Warped Tour.

Drives-U-CrazySolid line lunacyIt seems to me that few people know when it is permissible to turn left across a solid centre line.If you can make the turn without hindering people behind you that is fine but if you can’t – drive on because it’s the law. I live near a hospital and see people break this rule daily, allowing cars to stack up behind while they wait for a clearance in traffic to complete their turn.What drives-u-crazy.
