CADILLAC MAGAZINE THE WELL-DRIVEN LIFE WINTER 2016 KINGDOM OF AWE EXPLORING THE EXOTIC BEAUTY OF CAMBODIA JASON MRAZ PLANTS THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS FIRST-EVER CT6 TAKES A DOWNTOWN DRIVE THE SHARED WORKSPACE COMES OF AGE WELCOME THIS YEAR WE BEGIN to transform the Cadillac brand. We launched our new brand platform, Dare Greatly, as a signal of our ambition. We moved our marketing, leadership, and sales organization to New York, while keeping Cadillac’s great design and engineering functions in Detroit. And we’ve hosted some incredible events, including the reveals of the first-ever 2016 CT6 Sedan and 2017 XT5 Crossover. In addition, we’ve celebrated those who dare with our entrepreneurial brands like Public School to extend the Cadillac brand into the realms ONLY THOSE WHO of fashion and business. And with Cadillac Magazine we continue to DARE, DRIVE THE share stories of those who dare. WORLD FORWARD. It’s daring to nearly circle the globe to explore a country most remember only from headlines about a gruesome war. Today the Kingdom of Cambodia enchants with ancient temples and a culture refective of two faiths—Hindu and Buddhism over centuries (page 62). It’s daring to leave behind the comforts of the offce to strike out on your own. The latest wave of shared workspaces is making the transition easier for 21st century entrepreneurs (page 49). And it’s daring to eschew glamor and use your celebrity voice to spread kindness and change the human experience. That’s what singer Jason Mraz is doing (page 34). I continue to admire those who don’t just say what they want to do, but prove it—they didn’t just dream, they made their dreams a reality.
