Introducing . . . The New Guy

By Ed

It’s sort of ironic that I’m the new guy here on the blog. I checked this site out myself many times throughout ‘07, as Liz and Rob are of course colleagues of mine. So I guess you could say I’ve moved from the audience onto the podium. Joining them as a new blogger on their site is a cool opportunity that should be fun.

I was thinking of ways to introduce myself here. And it occurred to me that this video might be a good way to do that — probably better than what I would have written! This was shot last week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, right after we debuted the upcoming new CTS- V.

V

By Rob

This is not really my department. But, in case you missed it (and I know you didn’t,) we’re starting to show the CTS-V in the auto show circuit. That started today in at the North American International Auto Show Detroit.

For more info on the car itself, Cadillac.com has an area on that site dedicated to the incredible new V. And click over to Flickr for more pictures of the V.

Check it out, and soon we will blog here about some of the actual development tests.

Serious Fun

By Liz

We’re extremely serious about what we’re doing as we test and develop. At the same time, we have fun doing it.

I’m the assistant chief engineer. Instead of focusing on just one element of the car, I focus on much all of them. And that’s why our real-world driving is so extensive. We had a ride recently in which we got lost on a detour and ended up on dirt roads, testing off-pavement traction instead of what we were there to do. And it was really valuable. That’s not going to happen in a computer simulation.

On many of our rides, we put camouflage disguises on the cars. We’ve literally dodged spy photographers, who are trying to “catch” our cars and get the shots on the internet or newspapers. When I see those guys, it kind of begs the question: why not let people see a bit more of what we’re doing? That’s what’s going to happen here.
