This service is very interesting, love to see the German auto companies offer this.

$1500 a month, no contract and switch cars up to 18 times per year.

only NY market so far

interesting option if they don't limit the type of driving, say taking the ATS-V/CTS-V to the track

tires/brakes alone pay for themselves

well, do you have to tell them ;-) odds are gps will rat you out and wear and tear

I looked at an ATS-V..trouble was finding one at a dealer to actually see..
got a brief drive in one at a Cadillac event where they were showing off the entire line...
my butt dyno told me that the ATS-V makes more than the advertised 467hp. even with the traction on from a dig the car wanted to break loose when you hammered the throttle.
the interior was nice but nothing out of the ordinary for my taste...the sound was excellent though :-)

I think 1500 a month for the ats-v is high, but the flexibility to try it and after 3 weeks trade it for a cts-v, then trade it back for a manual ats-v, that would be nice. Then grab an Escalade for a family road trip. now picture this program for AMG. That would be killer to try all the AMGs

Kinda a cool concept. Cancel service anytime...insurance, registration, taxes, maintenance all included in the price. Vehicles delivered to your home.

I think in theory this program has potential....in practice, i'm not so sure. How easily can you get the car you actually want? It says, "Certain location restrictions apply." So unless your area has a shit-ton of V-series cars, you either won't be able to get one at all in your area, or you'll have to wait til the next guy returns one? Obviously everybody's going to want the V-series or fully loaded Escalade....that's the whole point. Nobody's going to pay $1500/month to drive the 2.0L ATS.

I feel bad for Caddy. They are trying so hard, yet not really sinking in with the public. I would hate to see them fold up shop like Pontiac.

They don't even offer the non-V ATS and CTS. Nor the XTS. They do offer the XT5 though.

I'd say that's true for Cadillac cars only. The SRX and now XT5 outsells every German brand SUV model by a wide margin. And the Escalde is the #1 seller in the large luxury SUV segment.
