Aggressive and elegant, expressive and sophisticated is how people are describing the thoroughly new and contemporary 2008 Cadillac CTS luxury sedan. On the exterior, there’s no mistaking the 5-passenger midsize sedan’s stronger stance, and the faster profile with more rake, coupled with surfaces that add elegance and grace. The vertically shaped headlights and taillights on the ’08 CTS are signature Cadillac characteristics. Buyers have the choice of standard-equipped rear-wheel and optional all-wheel drive. The CTS comes with a 2-inch wider track as a result of the all-wheel-drive configuration. Three V-6 engines are available, including the 210 horsepower, 2.8-liter, the 3.6-liter with 258 ponies, and 300 horsepower, 3.6-liter with variable valve timing. Thinking young, Cadillac offers a fully synchronized 6-speed manual with single overdrive on the CTS, as well as 6-speed automatic. Dramatically different from the original, the interior design is decidedly more upscale, with added ornamentation, luxury and attention to detail.
