Cadillac ELR Hybrid Coupe Packs 207HP, Goes on Sale in Early 2014 [Updated]

When the Cadillac Converj concept was launched at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show, the consensus was unanimous: just build it! GM heard the press’ and public’s voices and, three years later, launched the production version, named ELR, at the same venue.

Convoys of two, three or more cars following either a government official or one of the wealthy capitalists that emerged in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, is nothing new, but watching these vehicles crash into each other is something we don't get to see very often, if at all.

According to the date displayed on the dashcam video, an incident of this sort happened last Friday, October 19, when what we assume to be the security personnel riding in Cadillac Escalade SUVs were trying to keep up to their boss who was in a black Maybach saloon, while also prohibiting any other vehicles from breaking their formation.
