Watch the 2013 Cadillac XTS's Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster in Action
Someone alert the hipsters; there is a new fad going around the auto industry and it's called reconfigurable instrument clusters.
Just last month, BMW announced that it will offer a customizable digital instrument display on the 2013 model year 5-Series and facelifted 7-Series, while recent spy photos prove that the next Mercedes-Benz S-Class will also have this future.
For once, Cadillac is not trailing behind its rivals in features introducing an available Reconfigurable Gauge Cluster on its new top sedan model, the 2013 XTS that just went on sale in the States.

Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon's Airbags Open Without a Collision at Auto-Crossing
Another case of a GM model and one of its airbags opening without a collision of any sorts during a fast ride on the track has hit the web.
The first one we reported on concerned a Chevrolet Camaro back in August of 2011 (read here), when the coupe's side airbags deployed while the driver was drifting the car.
We don't know if they are related, but a similar incident occurred earlier this week when according to Jalopnik, GM Engineer Brad Doerr took his Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon for fun day of auto-crossing before his wedding.

New Cadillac Ad Admits that Audi A6 is Faster than the CTS…in Price Depreciation
We are going to confess that before we pressed play on Cadillac's latest advert, we thought the concept would be similar to the brand's previous commercial that pitted an Escalade against a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan
Disappointingly, this time, there was no race between the 2012 Cadillac CTS and the 2012 Audi A6 mid-size sedan.

2013 Cadillac ATS Wears a Black Tuxedo for its New Photo Shoot
In the process of telling us what kind of materials it used on the upcoming 2013 ATS compact sports sedan, Cadillac unleashed a new batch of photos of its BMW 3-Series fighter shot during performance testing this past Tuesday, May 8, in Dawsonville, Georgia.
Cadillac claims to have engineered the ATS to be "the lightest compact luxury sports sedan", something it achieved through the use of what it calls "smart materials".
These include the aluminum hood, magnesium engine mounts, specially engineered straight steel links with lightening holes for the rear suspension, and laminated windshield and side windows.
“Smart material selection and styling modifications that reduce complexity are key enablers in our quest to reduce vehicle mass,” said Bob Boniface, Cadillac exterior design director. “As consumer demand for more features, space and comfort continues to increase, so too has our proficiency in designing vehicles that offer aerodynamic performance and efficiency equivalent to lower vehicle weight,” he said.

Cadillac to Offer iPad with Special Apps on all 2013 XTS Sedans
General Motors is lifting a page from Hyundai's initiative to replace the traditional owner's manual book with an Apple iPad on the Equus, by offering a standard iPad on the new 2013 Cadillac XTS full-size sedan to assist owners with the CUE infotainment system.
What differentiates Cadillac's move from the Korean automaker is that the XTS's iPad is more interactive as it will come pre-fitted with several special apps including one that replicates many of the controls and features of the CUE center stack along with the MyCadillac App and OnStar RemoteLink.

GM Wants Cadillac to Follow in the Successful Footsteps of Buick in China
Last year, Buick sold 177,633 vehicles in the States and 645,537 cars in China, with the Excelle, which is the local version of the Verano sedan, taking the first spot overall in the passenger car segment.
Cadillac, on the other hand, delivered 152,389 vehicles in the U.S. but only about 30,000 in the world's most populous country, despite an increase of 73 percent over 2010.
Given China's thirst for luxury products, it is no wonder that General Motors would like to repeat the success of Buick with its flagship brand.
According to General Motors CEO Dan Akerson, who was speaking on the company's first quarter earnings call for 2012, there is a plan in motion to boost Cadillac's sales in China six-fold in the next few years.

Eight Global Automakers Including GM, Ford, BMW and the VW Group to Display Universal Fast Charger
The ascent of electric vehicles has posed the question of how they will be charged as each automaker had developed its own technique, but that is the equivalent of having different fuel ports on gasoline-powered models.
One of the answers to this question comes from eight major automakers from the United States and Germany that have agreed upon a common fast-charging technology for use on electric vehicles in Europe and the United States.
