THE
ALL NEW 2008 CADILLAC CTS
The debate has been settled - the All
New 2008 Cadillac CTS is not only the
finest Cadillac ever offered, it is possibly
the best American car ever made. The story
of Cadillac's renaissance is now complete.
And clearly America's abillity to out-class
European auto makers is no longer in question.
CTS excudes power and confidence.
The story lies under the hood of CTS and
comes from Cadillac's new 3.6L Direct
Injection V6 Varible Valve Timing engine.
With DI technology, fuel is atomized and
injected straight into the combustion
chamber - resulting in cleaner emissions,
better fuel economy, and an increase in
output to the tune of 304 horsepower.
(Cadillac touts a 500hp V8 endowed CTS-V
for 2008-2009)
Enhancing CTS performance is the 6-speed
Hydra-Matic transmission with Driver Shift
Control, all-speed traction control, four
wheel independent suspension StabiliTrak
control system (throw it into a quick
turn and the suspension immediately stiffens
in response, keeping the body in firm
control) ZF Servotronic II steering gear,
17" aluminum wheels and oversized
high-performance brake rotors.
The exterior of CTS is subtle in it's
sleek new design, with a slightly wider
and lower overall stance, refined body
styling that combines curves with angular
edging, and a level of fit and finish
unseen in any American car, easily rivaling
the best of the European's. Super tight
gap tolerances of less than 3mm are solid
indications of the new level of craftsmanship
GM has attained. |

PERFORMANCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
But it's what's on the inside of the All
New CTS that is even more remarkable. Everywhere
you look within the CTS's gorgeously sculpted
interior you find unparalleled comfort,
style, technology and craftsmanship. At
night, interior ambient lighting creates
a gentle glow from under the wood trim and
compartments that enhances spacial cognition
and lends an air of elegance and sophistication
thoughout the jetstream-style cabin.
To add legroom for rear passengers, the
new CTS's thinner, curved front seats with
heating and cooling are ergonomic designed
to add to driver comfort as well as the
futuristic look of the interior. Passengers
are also treated to an ultra-view double
sunroof.
Complimenting the feel on the inside is
Bose® 5.1 8-speaker sound system, which
has an equally remarkable set of new features.
An internal 40GB hard drive offers Tivo-like
capability, so if your favorite radio show
gets interrupted - just press Pause. When
you get back to the car, you can pick up
right where you left off. The optional HD
also allows you put a CD into the drive
and hit "Record" to have all the
songs instantly copied and stored. The in-dash
screen rises to full size so you can see
all the information about the music you're
listening to, view GPS navigation, or local
traffic and weather forecast information.
You also have an i-Pod cradle which allows
you to sync in your music to the CTS's surround
sound system or listen to MP3s straight
off a flash drive plugged into a USB port
hidden inside the CTS's center storage bin.
