2014 Cadillac ELR Review

      When the ELR first arrived, I was surprised at Cadillac for creating a car that wasn't big, blingy, or just plain stupid. But the ELR is siblings with the Chevy Volt, which is an electric. It isn't a true electric, considering the included engine that charges the  battery. But why would Cadillac have any interest in the Volt? Maybe its because they want to get rid of the image that their cars are cheesy and aren't modern enough to keep up with BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz. The ELR shares the same setup as the Volt: one 84-hp 1.4 liter four cylinder, and one electric motor that is charged by either a charger (obviously) or the internal combustion engine that its hooked up to. Cadillac has worked hard to make sure that there isn't a single knob in the entire car, but the effort was useless because now all of the controls are obsolete.
