Re: First Drive: 2008 Cadillac CTS - Motor Trend

Hotness, they tested it at Nurburing?!

Though MT has a slight Domestic sway, and an even larger 3-series sway:

The new CTS deserves a creamy BMW six under the hood. Yes, it's that good.
Quote:
More important, the CTS drives like a proper BMW rival. It's light and agile on its feet, with quick steering response yet impressive straight-line stability at speed, and a StabiliTrak system that's beautifully tuned to be almost unobtrusive in its interventions.
Quote:
The new CTS isn't quite the Standard of the World. But it's certainly world class. The best damn Cadillac sedan in 50 years? Easily.

Re: First Drive: 2008 Cadillac CTS - Motor Trend

Even our CTSs were tested and tuned at Nurburing.

I like the car I guess. Im not a huge fan of the shape but I do like it. I guess Im just biased towards my CTS. The interior is difnately way nicer than my CTS but for some reason I hate how that steering wheel looks. I do love that big sun roof!!

one other thing- I say, bring it on you DI bitches. My non DI 3.6 CTS can hit a 5.9 zero to 60!!

Road Test - 2008 Cadillac CTS - Car & Driver

Another FYI for the information hungry...
A "Road Test" report on the 2008 Cadillac CTS is now available at CarandDriver.com
Here is the link:
http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtest...illac-cts.html
C & D's 'road test' (and MT's 'first drive') articles will appear in the September magazine issues. Similar reports should also be found in the Sept. issues of Road & Track and Automobile.
Cheers
Rab
