Cadillac's first 2014 ELR hybrids have been snapped leaving the production line, though the "range-extended" car itself still isn't expected to arrive in showrooms until early in the new year. The initial ELR cars - which borrow much of their mechanical and technological magic from the Chevrolet Volt, but wrap it up in a coupe shell with various luxury extras - are destined for further testing, similar to the cold-weather conditions tests GM put the ELR through back in February.

Smart Wheels: We talk Infotainment & the 2014 CTS with GM’s Mark Reuss
Once upon a time, your car had to be the fastest or the most luxurious if you wanted to stand out.
