just like the title says, I plan on moving up a notch into STS class. Not quite sure if i can afford a V8

perhaps a V6 but a newer car. anyways just figured i'd ask if anyone has suggestions/warning, for the meantime i`ll browse the STS forum for more info

Been there and done that. I upgraded from an '04 CTS lux sport to an '06 STS AWD V8. It's a 1SF.The result is more power, more room, better seats, more luxury, and burns more gas. To me it seems like an upgrade to a car that has that real Caddilac feel. The mag suspension alone is worth it.

To be brutually honest with you I would do it in a heartbeat!! AS dkozloski said more power and more room! Newer car also!! I am a power guy..but luxury is also a main key in my decisions. Go with the STS! I bet you will enjoy the swap =)

thx Koz and Jonny, as im` looking up the STS forum there are only a small number of problems documented in comparison to the CTS, which sounds promising
