Cadillac

American NFL player Tom Brady is selling his 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV – giving football fans and car lovers alike a chance to buy a so-called "piece of the Brady legacy" for US$300,000 (AU$451,219). The massive luxury SUV, which Brady originally purchased for US$350,000, has only 13,000 miles – or 20,921km – on the odometer and is up for sale at Becker Automotive Design, the California-based custom vehicle shop that originally modified the car.

Less than a day after the related Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban were revealed, leaks have outed the design of the next-generation Cadillac Escalade. Photos of exterior were published by Allcarnews on Instagram, while the shots of the interior were given to Carscoops.

General Motors (GM) may be looking to its past to find a solution for the future. Ironically, its brand most maligned for being eco-unfriendly may become its new electric-only brand. Reuters reports General Motors is developing a range of premium electric pickup trucks and SUVs, some of which may wear the defunct Hummer name.

Cadillac has unveiled its latest V-Series cars, the CT4-V and CT5-V, as it puts AMG 43 and BMW M Sport models in its sights. And no, don't hold your breath for them in Australia. This is actually the CT4's official debut. It'll go head-to-head with the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class when the range launches in full – for now, it's V-Series only.

With head offices for Ford, GM and Fiat-Chrysler, Detroit is to America’s motor industry as Nashville is to country music. It's the homeroom of companies that once laid claim to being industry influencers, so it shouldn't be surprising to hear the Detroit motor show is a whopper.
