What Changed

The all-new Cadillac CTS improves upon its predecessor with new styling and slightly larger proportions. The standard 3.6L V6 produces 263-hp, but an optional direct injection version produces 304-hp. Offered in both RWD and AWD models, all are equipped with a standard six-speed automatic. The CTS-V model is temporarily unavailable and will reappear for the 2009 model year.
