Has Cadillac lost its way? Today, Automotive News reports that Cadillac's Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus said the company's goal with its newest vehicle, the XT5 "... is to gain the attention of fashionistas, rather than cater to car buffs and auto journalists. Because in his view, younger customers are less interested in the technical details of cars, and don't read car magazines as often as they used to." We're not sure anyone reads any "magazines" anymore, but Mr. Ellinghaus at least seems to have a direction for the struggling luxury automaker to head in. Except that Cadillac is not heading that way according to Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman, who reports that the next car-buff Cadillac will be an Escalade powered by the same engine as the Corvette. This follows the new CTS-V, which is targeted at car buffs and is powered by an engine like the one in the Corvette.

When the 3.6L V6 equipped Colorado and Canyon hit dealers in the next couple of weeks, customers will find fuel economy ratings of up to 26 miles per gallon.
Today, General Motors released full fuel economy figures for V6 and 6-speed automatic equipped version of the company's new mid-size pickup line. This is the first time the 3.6L has been used in a pickup application and will be rated at 305-horsepower. 2-wheel-drive customers can expect a range of 18-26 miles per gallon and 4-wheel-drive customers can expect 17-24 miles per gallon.
3.6L V6 Chevrolet Colorado & GMC Canyon Fuel Economy
2WD: 18mpg city / 21mpg combined / 26mpg highway
4WD: 17mpg city / 20mpg combined / 24mpg highway
“The all-new 2015 GMC Canyon adds segment-leading fuel economy to its winning resume,” said Kenn Bakowski, Canyon marketing manager. “Innovations such as available active grille shutters combine with an aerodynamic design in a smaller, more maneuverable package to set a new standard for fuel economy in midsize trucks.”
