2008 Cadillac CTS Reviews:

Newcartestdrive review the 2008 Cadillac CTS and gave out”Driving enthusiasts haven’t been neglected, either. The current upgrade engine will be standard in the 2008 CTS in North America: a four-cam, variable valve-timing 3.6-liter V6 generating 255 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. That will give the CTS more standard power than nearly all sedans in its class….”

howstuffworks gave the 2008 Cadillac CTS Review and Prices and write”The 2008 Cadillac CTS launches the second-generation of the smaller of Cadillac’s two midsize sedans. Its exterior styling represents an evolution of the razor-edged Cadillac design theme introduced with the original 2002-2007 CTS and refined in the larger 2008 Cadillac STS—GM hasn’t announced prices for the 2008 Cadillac CTS, but figure about $33,000 to start. Expect a multitude of available option packages, some of which you might have to buy to get certain features, such as all-wheel drive or the 300-horsepower engine. Figure a loaded 300-horsepower, AWD 2008 Cadillac CTS to sticker near $45,000.”
