The GMS CTS, Cadillac will be dipping back into the well with side vents similar to those that we have seen on the all new 2007 Cadillac Escalade. An apparent new Cadillac design that will become standard across its entire line-up of RWD vehicles.

Obviously the all new CTS will feature an all-new front and rear facia. What is not pictured is the rear, which we believe the taillights do not crease up and over the trunk as in Hans chop. On this front 3/4th shot one can clearly see the crease that begins on the front fender and makes its way up towards the rear door giving the CTS a nice, athletic stance.

We expect the CTS to become similar to its brother, the STS in size. Not in length, but in width. It has been reported that the CTS will get wider to match its sibling, just not longer.

General Motors execs have already confirmed the CTS will get GM's new Direct Injection 3.6l engine. It is unknown at this point of the vehicle will receive GM's 6 speed automatic transmission or if the 5 speed will continue to be used.

One other important piece of information. Expect the CTSv to ring in with at least 500hp as the Chevrolet Corvette gets the "Super-Vette" later in the decade.

LS7 in the New V eh? But I doubt they'll release that in '08, maybe '09 or '10 model year..

I mean if it did have the LS7, why would anyone buy the STS-V (well I can maybe thing of one reason, for the automatic)?

I just read in Automobile magazine preview of upcoming cars that the new CTS-V gets a supercharged Northstar.

Wow, that looks nice!

Are they still going to offer a manual transmission in the 08 CTS?
