"We purchased an Escalade ESV in October and dealt exclusively with Carolyn F. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with thorough answers to all of our questions. We would highly recommend Capital Cadillac and Carolyn if you are interested in purchasing a Cadillac. The Escalade ESV is an exceptional vehicle and we are glad we made the purchase. Thanks Carolyn!" -Danny H.

The all-new Cadillac ATS sport sedan employs high-tech electronics to manage interior noise, following a simple piece of parental advice – “Listen!”
The new ATS contains three microphones inside the cabin that carefully monitor, and then adjust, interior sounds to create a proper environment for Cadillac’s sport sedan.
Active sound control technology proactively monitors the ATS’s cabin for unwanted noise and works to eliminate it. Alternately, passive sound-deadening in the form of covers, foams and other materials built into the vehicle absorb, block and eliminate vibrations, wind noise, and noise from passing cars.
Working together these technologies reduce the ATS’s overall sound levels by 3 decibels while idling, or the equivalent of making the vehicle nearly 50 percent quieter.
“Not all noise is unwanted, especially in a vehicle like ATS,” said vehicle performance engineer James Murphy. “While wind rush penetrating a closed window is undesirable, the driver does want to hear the vehicle respond with power during spirited driving.”
On the “active” front, Cadillac sound engineers worked with audio experts from Bose to create sound management technology that offsets low frequency “boom” noises between 40Hz and 180Hz.
“Imagine the feeling that goes through your chest at a rock or hip-hop concert when the bass hits you,” said Kent Ting, noise and vibration engineer. “That is similar to the ‘boom’ noises the Bose Active Sound Management system addresses by providing a cancelling noise signal.”
Three Bose microphones constantly monitor sound quality and deliver a counterbalance of noise through the vehicle’s speakers to cancel unwanted noises. The microphones are strategically placed above the interior door frame on the front driver and passenger and rear driver’s side to listen to the same sounds the occupant would hear.
“Passive” noise cancelling materials are woven into the vehicle in unassuming places, following the attention-to-detail-approach taken by ATS engineers. Some examples include:

"My experience at Capital Cadillac was superlative. My salesman Gumala O. is truly an asset to the company. Mr. O.’s incessant efforts to meet my every need was immeasurable. Mr. O. along with Mr. L. and everyone else in the Capital Cadillac family was friendly and attentive to my every need. Having purchased several vehicles over the past ten years I can truly say the incomparable Capital Cadillac is without a doubt second to none."- Barbara E.
"I honestly have told all of my friends and family about Carolyn and my experience at Capital Cadillac and we have all decided that we are going to drive to Atlanta the next time we purchase vehicles. I have purchased about 20 vehicles in my lifetime and I have NEVER had this type of incredible service that we experienced at Capital Cadillac." - lwhitsey

Two all-new models and momentum in key markets like the West Coast drove a 37 percent increase in U.S. sales for Cadillac’s rebuilt car lineup in October.
The new XTS luxury sedan sold more than 2,000 units for the third consecutive month while the new ATS sport sedan started to gain momentum in its first complete month on the market.
Among initial buyers who traded in a vehicle to purchase an ATS, 70 percent are new to Cadillac. In the crucial and often trend-setting state of California, Cadillac retail sales rose 70 percent in October over the same month last year, and are up 13 percent year-to-date.
“We are building momentum with our new sedan models and it’s being led by increased demand in the leading regional markets in the U.S.,” said Chase Hawkins, vice president of Cadillac U.S. sales. “We’re taking a very long-term approach, but the initial feedback is very strong as ATS creates an entryway into the Cadillac brand for new luxury consumers.”
Cadillac reported October retail gains of 15 percent compared to October 2011, and 11 percent total sales increase year over year. October was the brand’s fifth consecutive month of retail sales gains.
The SRX also had its best October sales month ever, up 19 percent over September.

"Capital really impressed me. Carolyn gave me her undivided attention and helped me find EXACTLY what I was looking for, a 2011 STS. The car speaks for itself but the staff at the dealership made an impression on me.. friendly, efficient and honest. Capital is on my list of best local car dealerships (I will keep the license plate frame on the vehicle) Perfect experience!" -Martin
