Laura Wontrop Klauser: “Cadillac represents American luxury”

It was in a CT5 Blackwing that the boss of the Corvette and Cadillac teams shared with us her passion for automobiles… and baking! The American also looks back on her childhood in Maryland with parents who passed on their love of cars to her.

Hello Laura. Why did you choose this car for this Carpooling ?

In my opinion, this is the coolest Cadillac currently in our catalog. The CT5 Blackwing with manual gearbox is one of those cars that is a lot of fun to drive, even in traffic jams. The sound of the engine, the handling of the vehicle and its appearance all contribute to making the experience very pleasant. The interior is superb. It is comfortable, very sporty and fun. This is a car that I can't wait to add to my personal collection.

How should a European perceive the Cadillac brand in the eyes of an American?

Cadillac represents American luxury. It’s something you aspire to when you’re young. We tell ourselves that one day we will succeed in life, that we will own a Cadillac and that all the work accomplished was worth it.
