Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

The first retail production Cadillac CT6 will be auctioned to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

The first retail production 2016 Cadillac CT6 will be auctioned Friday evening to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. The Barrett-Jackson auction house will present the CT6 during its 13th Annual Palm Beach Auction in Palm Beach, Fla.
The auction extends General Motors’ long-standing support of the Karmanos Cancer Institute, one of 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the country.
All proceeds from the CT6 auction will support the expansion of Karmanos’ Intensive Care Unit and develop a 24-hour Acute Care Clinic to support the continuum of specialized care for Karmanos patients.

GM Senior Vice President of Global Public Policy Bob Ferguson and his wife, Debra, will chair the Annual Dinner on Saturday, April 25, at the GM Design Dome in Warren, Mich. This is the fifth consecutive year that a member of GM senior leadership has chaired the event. 
The 2016 Cadillac CT6 is an entirely new approach to the prestige luxury sedan. Thanks to advances in vehicle construction, the CT6 offers the luxury, stature, and spaciousness appropriate for a top-of-the-range sedan, combined with the driving dynamics and efficiency of a car a class smaller. The 2016 Cadillac CT6 will come with three power-dense engines, all mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions.
“General Motors has a long history of giving back to the communities in which we live and work,” said Ferguson. “We are thrilled to continue that tradition by donating our time, funds and assets to support the Karmanos Cancer Institute’s world renowned patient care and research.” 
Earlier this year, the GM Foundation donated $500,000 to directly support cancer research at Karmanos. To recognize the combined philanthropic contributions of GM and the GM Foundation over the years, the Karmanos Cancer Institute named one of its laboratory floors the GM Foundation Cancer Research Floor.
“We are extremely grateful for our long-standing partnership with GM and the GM Foundation whose philanthropic contributions continue to support our mission to do all we can to end cancer,” said Gerold Bepler, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO, Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. “GM is constantly perfecting and advancing its vehicle engineering, as shown in the exciting Cadillac CT6. So too is our team of expert oncologists and researchers relentless in their commitment to advance discoveries that can lead to new treatments for those battling cancer.
“Together, our two Detroit-based institutions’ innovations are improving lives for the better, right here in our hometown and across the globe.”
The Palm Beach Collector Car Auction will accept online bids at www.barrett-jackson.com. To register, call 480-421-6694 or email bidders@barrett-jackson.com.   Barrett-Jackson is waiving all buyer and seller fees for the CT6 charity auction.
The winning bidder will receive a letter of authenticity, the choice of color of his or her 2016 Cadillac CT6, and personal delivery by Ed Welburn, vice president of Global Design, at the GM Design studio in Warren.
