Briggs Supercenter, the leading used car dealership in Manhattan, KS, has a wide variety of used makes and models including Cadillac.

With that being said, Buyology Inc and the likes of uSamp conducted extensive market research and had some staggering finds. The firms collectively found that Cadillac is the most sought after automotive brand, in the United States, by men.

For the 2012 “Most Desired Brands in the U.S.” annual survey, Buyology Inc, a global strategic neuro insight firm, as well as uSamp looked at 220 brands ranging across 10 different industries. Both of the firms looked for emotional and personal connections for each of the 220 brands and found that in the Automotive category, Cadillac came out on top.

It should come as no surprise that Cadillac reported an increase in sales by 7 percent for 2011, as the Cadillac CTS sect led the way.  Digging deeper into the CTS family, they had a near 20 percent increase as a whole for 2011. This just reinforces the fact that the sky is the limit for the Cadillac CTS family for 2012.

Both Buyology Inc’s and uSamp’s findings are quite intriguing as Cadillac gears up to release two new vehicle models later this year including the Cadillac XTS as well as the ATS. Both the new models will bolster Cadillac’s 2012 sedan lineup as they push for luxury brand supremacy and to maintain the highest level of emotional and personal connection.

Cadillac ATS Will Feature State-Of-The-Art Sound

Briggs Supercenter, the leading used car dealer in Kansas, is excited to talk about what General Motors has done with that brand-new 2013 Cadillac ATS. The people at Cadillac wanted to bolster this vehicle’s drivability and that’s exactly what they did while also making the sound it creates music to motorhead’s ears.

It is no secret that car companies feature several teams of designers and engineers to work on the look and feel of a vehicle, but it may not be known that people are also hired to make each vehicle sound right also.

Kyle Stanforth, Cadillac Performance Team’s Noise & Vibration Engineer, recently stated that the new ATS is engineered to foil the ATS’ purr, while blocking unwanted noise inside and around the vehicle. “Cadillac customers expect a level of refinement beyond what most cars have. Yes, it’s quiet, but it’s more than that. They also love to hear that sound of refined power when they ask for it. So when you open it up, you not only feel the power, you hear it too.”

In order for this process  to work effectively Stanforth, along with the rest of his team, had to carefully shape the intake system to allow the engine to intake fresh air, all while limiting unwanted engine noise. This not only maintains maximum engine performance but also keeps both cruising and idling sound levels to a minimum.  For the interior, the ATS features Bose’s Active Sound Management Technology, which continuously maintains the sound inside the cabin. In order to do so, it generates a cancellation signal to reduce unwanted engine noise making it pleasing on your ear drums.

If you’re looking for a used Cadillac in Kansas, look no further than Briggs Supercenter in Manhattan, Kansas. With not only a wide variety of used Cadillac models, but also a vast selection of other makes and models, Briggs Supercenter is your best bet for a used car.
