Here are some great destinations to consider:


1) Lima, Miraflores, Peru

2) Buenos Aires, Argentina

3) Mexico City, Mexico

4) Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

5) Cartagena, Columbia

Share your vacations stories with us on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and recommend your favorites sites and stories so others can enjoy them as well.

With the weather being more cooperative and the start of Fall, now is a perfect time to start taking some weekend adventures with the family. It depends, of course, what your interests are, but one place that provides a little bit of everything is the farmer's market. Local events such as these offer a variety of locally produced food, trinkets, and art so that every member of the family can enjoy the outing.

In addition, you get to support the local community and participate, at ground level, as a member of the community. All in all, these type of outings are a nice change of pace, and a cost efficient way to have some family fun.

Classic Cadillac Cars Overseas

We came across a very interesting article about the multitude of classic Cadillac vehicles still being driven in Cuba. Prior to the trade embargo in the 1960's, many Cadillac cars were exported to Cuba during the 40's and 50's. These vehicles can still be found navigating the streets today, and it is like stepping into a time machine when we scrolled through the photo album of the original article.

2014 Cadillac XTS Packs Twin Turbo Power

Cadillac will add a new option to its XTS luxury sedan: More power and torque. Starting in August, the all-new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 will go into production as an optional engine for the 2014 XTS.

The new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 is also a signature feature of the upcoming all-new 2014 CTS luxury performance sedan. In the XTS, the twin turbo will produce an SAE-certified 410 horsepower (306 kW) and 369 lb-ft of torque (500 Nm), making it one of the most power-dense six-cylinder engines among luxury cars. The engine delivers 105 lb-ft more torque over the standard V-6 from1900 to 5600 rpm, providing seemingly endless torque for vehicle responsiveness.

“The addition of the new Cadillac Twin Turbo expands and elevates the XTS luxury sedan,” said Bob Ferguson, vice president Global Cadillac. “This is a compelling enhancement to what is already one of the most technically advanced sedans in our history.”

In both the CTS and XTS product lines, the twin turbo will be the centerpiece of a new model offering called Vsport. The new Vsport is inspired by and slotted “underneath” Cadillac’s elite high-performance V-Series models. Vsport includes the best-performing technical elements inside the “regular” car line in a single model, headlined by Twin Turbo engine.

The new Cadillac Twin Turbo is a comprehensive upgrade to the 3.6L dual overhead cam V6 that is standard in the XTS in the U.S. market. Almost every component is unique, including:

• All-new cylinder block casting
• Strengthened connecting rods
• Machined, domed aluminum pistons with top steel ring carrier for greater strength
• 10.2:1 compression ratio
• Patented, integrated charge air cooler system with low-volume air ducts
• Two turbochargers producing more than 12 pounds of boost (80 kPa)
• Vacuum-actuated wastegates with electronic control valves
• All-new direct injection fuel system
• Tuned air inlet and outlet resonators, aluminum cam covers and other features that contribute to quietness and smoothness.

The cylinder heads are also unique. They feature a high-tumble intake port design that enhances the motion of the air charge for a more-efficient burn when it is mixed with the direct-injected fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber.

Pricing for the 2014 XTS starts at $45,525, including destination fees, unchanged from 2013, with standard equipment including the 3.6L V6 engine that makes 306 hp, CUE, intelligent brake assist and Magnetic Ride Control. Three option packages are available: Luxury, Premium and Platinum Collections. 

The XTS Vsport model will be offered only in the up-level Premium and Platinum Collections as all-wheel drive.
