Why you change STS in 2005?

2004 STS looks pretty good
2005 - bad

Was no STS in 2004- they only made the SLS, but that looked good too.

Unfortunately not many agree....

hmm... maybe STS 2004 was only in Canada?
for example

if this link not working go to www.autotrader.ca
Cars->Search for Cars->Choose All of Ontario, Cadillac, STS, 2004-2004
3 cars found with old style body.

Anyways, Cadillac loosing price very quickly and 5 year old car looks optimal and i have lots of time to change my 1999 STS to 2004 STS in 2008-2009.

old style way better, u think we can convince GM to keep it? Nah thought not, but the STS "classic" would be something good, remember when they did it with the Range Rover?

I just test drove a 2005 STS last night.. It's really quite amazing.. It felt exactly like a 5-series BMW. While that's not exactly my cup of tea, the Germans don't have ANYTHING on Cadillac when it comes to suspension anymore...

Canada received an STS for 2004. The U.S. did not.

I wish they would've made a RWD 98-04 Style Seville. I love the style so much better. I do like the new ones. But, I love my '98 more as far as styling.

Funny, I like the '94-'97 style myself, but, that didn't stop them from progressing with time. You know how GM does things. As soon as they get it right, they scrap it. The only real complaint I have with the current body, is it's non-agressive appearance. That is until the V-series came about. It still looks kind of bloated, but hey, got to leave some room for improvement, right?

New STS (2005) looks too much like the CTS (which does not even look much like a Cadillac anymore). The dash and interior of the 2005 STS look cheap when compared to the previous STS. The 98-04 Seville was superior in almost everyway to the one that replaced it (except being FWD).

Although the new STS is a great driving car and awd is the way to go, I have to agree with the body styling comment. The body line runing from front to rear goes too high towards the rear wheel well making the wheel itself look too small. Even with larger wheels the wheel well looks too small for the car. It borderlines the styling of a 'standard, company issue' car. Where's the love?
