Cadillac DTS called ?most satisfying? 2007 model year vehicle
Based on a survey conducted by AutoPacific earlier this year, the Cadillac DTS has been distinguished as the ?most satisfying? vehicle in both the Large Luxury Car segment and across the entire industry. Approximately 24,000 owners of 2007 model year vehicles were surveyed, and the DTS earned the highest overall satisfaction score.
"This achievement for DTS is especially important, as the experiences of actual customers are the ultimate measure," explained Jim Taylor, Cadillac General Manager. "Cadillac, and the DTS in particular, earn excellent consumer loyalty based on the type of satisfaction shown in this important survey of new vehicle owners."

Revised 2008 Cadillac CTS makes world premier at North American International Auto Show in Detroit
Cadillac took advantage of this year?s Detroit Auto Show venue to show off the all-new CTS sedan, a beautiful re-design of the first-generation model that debuted for the 2003 model year. Production of the 2008 vehicle will begin late this summer, and showroom sales are expected to begin in the fall.
Major attention was paid to details, especially in terms of fit and finish. Just taking in the grille, lights, fender vents and body cut-lines reveals that Cadillac has finally fully realized its new design language discovered in the original CTS. Plain and simple, the ?08 Cadillac sedan is gorgeous.
Under the hood, an available 3.6-liter V6 engine utilizes direct fuel injection to the tune of approximately 300 horsepower and 270 foot-pounds of torque. Less powerful and sophisticated engines V6 displacing 2.8 and 3.6 liters are also offered. Transmission choices come in six gear ratios only, as both a manual and automatic are offered. New for 2008, both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations are offered.
