Cadillac CTS
Cadillac is a brand of luxury automobile, part of General Motors, produced and mostly sold in the United States and Canada; outside of North America, they have been less successful. In the United States, the name became a synonym for high quality, used in such phrases as the Cadillac of clocks. This is less prevalent, though still known, in other English-speaking countries.
The 2006 Cadillac CTS is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sedan, available in two trims, the 2.8 and 3.6 liter Sedans. The 2.8 liter Sedan is equipped with a standard 2.8-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine that achieves 17-miles per gallon in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. The 3.6 liter Sedan is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 255-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The CTS-V Trims has a manual transmission, a 6.0 liter 400 horsepower V8 engine giving 15 miles to the gallon within the city and 24 on the highway.
The 2007 CTS is Cadillac’s entry-luxury sport sedan, designed to compete with the best European sport sedans. The CTS made its first appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2001. Cadillac did extensive testing at Germany's famed Nurburgring race track. The CTS 2.8 liter Sedan is equipped with a standard 2.8-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine that achieves 17-miles per gallon in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. The 3.6 liter Sedan is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 255-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway.
After adding a number of packages for 2006, the 2007 Cadillac CTS adds OnStar’s Connections and directions to its NavTraffic service featuring access to driving directions, vehicle diagnostics, remote door unlock, stolen vehicle location assistance, concierge services and much more.
It’s taken three tries to get it right but Cadillac finally has the BMW fighter it’s been looking for. With performance, drivability, tasteful comfort and understated good looks of a European sport sedan, this CTS eschews traditional Cadillac excess. Yet it's still a true Cadillac.
General Motors enjoy an important legacy left by those who went before, a legacy of doing business the right way. Especially in times of increased attention on corporate responsibility, this tradition represents a great asset and but it also carries with it a tremendous responsibility.
