If you’d like to get acquainted with a new Cadillac vehicle without the potential pressures that might be associated with visiting a dealership, then you’ll be pleased to know that the luxury automaker is bringing back local experiential events. Branded Truth + Dare, the gatherings enable guests to experience the “truth” of the innovation in Cadillac vehicles or “dare” to experience their performance.
Here’s what Cadillac Truth + Dare events are all about, and what they will offer.
Truth
- Innovation: Cadillac uses a sophisticated collection of radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors to detect potential collisions, making it one of the safest automotive brands. Cadillac invites attendees to drive the XT4 and XT5 and put this technology to the test.
- Freedom: Using precision LiDAR mapping data, a state-of-the-art driver attention system, and a network of camera and radar sensors, Cadillac Super Cruise is unlike any other driver assistance system. Cadillac invites attendees to drive the CT6 and experience the future of hands-free driving.
Dare
- Power: the most powerful vehicle in Cadillac’s 114-year history, the CTS-V, was built as a confident track performer and refined daily driver. Dare to experience its 640 horsepower supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that can propel the car from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
- Performance: with aerodynamic design and industry-leading technology, the ATS and CTS deliver daring performance. Cadillac invites attendees to put these award-winning vehicles – and their own driving skills – through their paces.

The Cadillac Society Take
It’s very welcome news that Cadillac is bringing back local events that give enthusiasts and regular car buyers the ability to interact and become familiar with its products. We would argue that this is one of the key elements that the brand was missing over the past few years from its marketing strategy, as the luxury carmaker offered excellent cars that not enough people knew about. These events should start changing the tide for the better – hopefully resulting in more interest, purchase consideration, sales and – ultimately – commercial success for Cadillac and its vehicles.
The only thing we’re left wondering is why it has taken Cadillac this long to start hosting these kinds of experiential events, after doing away with its various local events around the 2012 timeframe.

Too bad they don’t have this event locally and I have to drive a little over 7 hours to get to the closest event. Cadillac should consider opening up this event in few more locations for those who don’t mind driving four to five hours to the event.

Is any form of the next generation of Cadillacs going to have more than 550 HP?
That would be about 90 HP less than the most powerful previous generation and to me that seem to be going backward instead or forward.
