Hot Car, Hot Spot: Cadillac CTS Adds WiFi System
DETROIT – Cadillac will offer wireless internet access for its best-selling model, adding a new dimension to the passenger experience. Cadillac Wi-Fi by Autonet Mobile comes to the CTS Sport Sedan in April, giving passengers full internet access in and around the car via their laptop or WiFi device.
The launch of Cadillac WiFi by Autonet Mobile will begin with live demonstrations at the New York International Auto Show April 10-19.
“Consumers today are frequently searching for WiFi access wherever they may be,” said Mark McNabb, North America Vice President, Cadillac. “Adding WiFi is a natural extension of the tech features already inside the CTS, such as a 40 gigabyte hard drive with USB port, a pop-up navigation system featuring real-time traffic and weather forecasts and the exclusive ability to pause and rewind live radio.”
Cadillac WiFi uses technology from Autonet Mobile, the world’s
first Internet Service Provider designed exclusively for cars. Cadillac WiFi by
Autonet Mobile turns the car into a WiFi hotspot and works with any operating
system supporting any Wi-Fi enabled device. It delivers an easy-to-use and
seamless internet experience, with 3G mobile technology that maintains internet
connections while the car is in motion. The system can support several devices
at once, enabling one passenger to update a Facebook page, while another is
gaming online or watching YouTube videos, for example.
Buick Tops 2009 Vehicle Dependability Study
Brand Extends Reputation for Long-Term Quality, Craftsmanship for Seventh Straight Year
Detroit - Further demonstrating Buick's ongoing commitment to quality,
J.D. Power and Associates announced today that Buick tied for the highest
ranking in vehicle dependability for three-year old models. The Buick LaCrosse
was also ranked first in the midsize car segment, beating the Toyota Camry,
while the Buick Lucerne came in second in the large car segment. For the seventh straight year, Buick has ranked in the top ten brands in the
J.D. Power and Associates dependability study, which tracks vehicle issues over
a three-year ownership period and this year evaluates more than 200 problem
areas. Buick moved from sixth place to take over the top spot in this year's
study. "Quality and craftsmanship have always been one of the defining
characteristics of the Buick brand," said Susan Docherty, GM North America vice
president for Buick, Pontiac and GMC. "The added value of that dependability,
combined with premium materials and refined, responsive performance, is
something our customers have come to expect from every Buick, and it's the
driving force behind the continuing transformation of the brand." In addition to the latest J.D. Power and Associates honor, Buicks have been
recognized with numerous "recommended" and "best buy" designations by leading
consumer magazines and websites for all three current models: Enclave, Lucerne,
and LaCrosse. Building on that tradition, an all-new 2010 Buick LaCrosse luxury
sedan will arrive in showrooms this summer.
