The All New 2008 Cadillac CTS
The debate has been settled - the All New 2008 Cadillac
CTS is not only the best designed Cadillac ever, 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.
(for the true performance seekers a V8 endowed CTS offers
a whopping 500 hp - see CTS-V)
Also 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.

CTS Features and Options
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. Legends also offers hundreds
of custom cadillac accessories for your new and used
CTS.
