I saw an '08 at Universal Studios in California on the set of Desperate House Wives - I have the pic on my Mac, and will upload it later this morning online. I'm in love with the 2008 Cadillac CTS. Definitely a favorite of mine right now - and I am looking forward to when they hit the showrooms, because I will be taking a drive and scheduling a test drive of one. .

godwhomismike Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I just read a article from one of the rags @ the house......This thing tips the scales @ over 4000lb. The outgoing model was around 3700lb with the 6.0l All the reviews were glowing until I read Car and Driver's review, which pinged it for not having sport seats and larger wheels (they were upset because 18's are too small for them). They also didn't like the manual transmission, and where appalled by the thought of an automatic, even if the unit is the same one used on BMWs. Ummmm, I think they totally missed the mark - as the Cadillac CTS is a luxury vehicle, with some sporty characteristics. At least they said it was better than the Mercedes Benz C350 they also reviewed in that issue. ,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the EXACT SAME C&D say this is the best American sports sedan EVER?!?!?! It handled the neughburing (spelling) with excellence. The thing that really bothered them was the seats, not that they weren't comfortable but they weren't built to be tracking them. C&D said they hit the mark, but you think they missed the mark?

Barrok Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I felt like they were comparing it to a sports car, which it obviously isn't. . True, if you are comparing it to a sports car the CTS fails. But if you are comparing it to sports sedans it offers alot. Still, I dont think anything can beat a 335i but the CTS IS about the size of a 5 series so that is a plus if you want a bigger car. I really dig it but I think I want a STI hatch this time around. I was hoping the G8 would be up to par but it doesn't look anything like the old pics of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLegacy99 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/future/09.cadillac.cts.v.b/09.cadillac.ctsv.f34.2.500.jpg http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/future/09.cadillac.cts.v.b/09.cadillac.ctsv.r34.500.jpg http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/future/09.cadillac.cts.v.b/09.cadillac.ctsv.pro.500.jpg Quote: Any speculation about the styling of the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V can now be laid to rest thanks to our exclusive spy photos. Snagged during a photo shoot of the upcoming Cadillac super sedan, these shots reveal a CTS V-Series with a dramatically revised front end, bigger wheels and tires and a few modest changes out back. Gone is the egg-crate grille that gives the standard CTS such a distinctive look up front. In its place is a two-piece trapezoidal mesh grille much like the setup on the original CTS-V. We suspect the mesh design does a better job of feeding fresh air to the engine, as Cadillac has boasted about borrowing the design of the standard CTS's grille from the Sixteen concept. Although the airdam on the CTS-V is certainly aggressive, it doesn't appear as though it's much lower to the ground when compared side by side with that of the standard CTS. This could be due to the fact that there's no bump strip at the bottom of this prototype piece, a detail that could be added to the production cars. The shape of the airdam is continued all the way around the car by extended rocker sills and a reshaped rear fascia. It's more subtle than we expected, although the car already has fairly aggressive bodywork to begin with. Even the hood bulge is pretty sedate, as it blends in perfectly with the rest of the original hood creases. Of course, the big question still remains: What's under that hood? Our best sources have been telling us to expect a normally aspirated LS7 V8, but a recent interview with Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor seems to confirm the other most talked-about option — a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Either way, the 2009 CTS-V will have roughly 525 horsepower, a figure that will put it slightly ahead of direct competitors like the Audi S6, BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Taylor also confirms that the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V will offer the choice of a manual or automatic transmission — both six-speeds. This should help broaden the appeal of the CTS-V, which has been a sales disappointment so far. Look for the official unveil of the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show in January.
