Do you know the phrase "the best of both worlds?" It's synonymous with a "win-win situation." The idea is that you can simultaneously benefit from two different opportunities. When shopping for a car, there's much to consider. You shouldn't have to sacrifice any of your priorities. It turns out, Cadillac SUVs deliver the best of ALL worlds. Cadillac SUVs and Crossovers offer the style and performance of America's luxury brand.

The Cadillac Difference

You can't go wrong with any of our Cadillac models. The perfect fit for you or your family entirely depends on your lifestyle and aesthetic.

Baton Rouge has been hit with heavy rains and widespread flooding, and we want you to be equipped with how to handle a flooded vehicle. Gerry Lane Cadillac has compiled a list of what to do if your car, truck or SUV was affected by a flash flood or high water.

Here are some steps you should take:

1) DO NOT start your vehicle! Attempting to crank it will only cause further damage if the engine has been flooded. Just open the vehicle up and leave the windows down to let it dry it out.

2) Call your insurance agent/company and start the claims process. You can expect to receive full NADA retail value for your vehicle plus compensation for tax, title, and license if it's deemed a total loss.

3) Do not tow your vehicle to the dealership! Normally, we'd love a visit from you, but please...

Finding a local Cadillac dealership is about more than going to the closest one. Purchasing a car is a big life decision-it's more than just a transaction of goods and money.

These days, we hear the word "local" quite a bit. It's a trend to be local-local stores, local restaurants, and local products. We think that Gerry Lane Cadillac is local in more ways than one. We were curious as to the exact meaning of the word, so we looked it up (which, of course, means we searched online). Abov...

If you're a resident of the city of Baton Rouge, you need a car. A car is a near-necessity to navigate Louisiana's capital city. And between your work, family, and hobbies, you need more than a car-you need an SUV. But you don't just want any SUV-you want the luxury and performance of a Cadillac Escalade.

The Baton Rouge Commute

We all know the jokes about the traffic in Baton Rouge. It's inevitable that you're going to be stuck waiting to exit I-10. Driving down Perkins Road during commute times can seem to take hours. You might as well feel stylish and comfortable in an Escalade. The definition of the word escalade is "the scaling of fortified walls using ladders, as in military attack." Unfortunately, your Cadillac Escalade can't scale over the traffic. But it can make long commutes a b...

Age is just a number. The quality and performance of Cadillacs withstand the test of time. The brand's family of vehicles is as spirited, innovative and sophisticated as the people who drive them.

Remember, you're not buying its past-you're buying your future. And in a Cadillac, your future is limitless.

Used Cadillacs Aren't Used Cars

The used car salesman. It's a moniker used in jokes and insults to signify cheapness or dishonesty. Dressed in a loud suit with slicked-back hair, he says things like "What do I have to do to get you in a car today?" And, "These aren't used, they're pre-owned." That last statement is often thrown out as an...
