GM Launches Behind-the-Scenes Cadillac Blog

Earlier this month, GM launched a blog called Cadillac Drivers’ Log. It’s not a blog for Cadillac owners, but one by engineers about what they do to test a car and bring it to market. It seems the car they’re working on now is the new CTS, shown at the Detroit auto show, though we’re unsure why it would be camouflaged.

One post explains how engineers calibrate the all-wheel-drive system. There’s also a pretty impressive video of a Cadillac moving through a ton of snow and ice.

This is a terrific way to expose car-shoppers to the real nitty-gritty of what it takes to produce a new car these days. The development process is highly secretive because of concerns other automakers will steal some secret or design, but that also means the average Joe is kept in the dark about how much actually goes into his or her new ride. Plus, it seems Cadillac found a few engineers who know how to write readable blog posts (though we wonder why they can’t get the bylines figured out). Ping us, guys. We’ll gladly show you how to fix that.
