Review: 2008 Cadillac CTS

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
Note to BMW dealers: That grille filling up your rearview mirror may not carry a Lexus badge after all. Shocker of shockers, if you look closely you will see a crest, a Cadillac crest, followed by the unmistakably angled snout of the 2008 Cadillac CTS. Redesigned on the inside, touched up on the outside and strategically improved in its road manners, the CTS is joining the luxury sedan party ? and this time, it?s not wearing blue hair, bifocals or a clown nose.

Chrysler 300, Cadillac CTS

If you get tired of taking the bus I'll be glad to run you over.

I love the new CTS. Its so good. Its one of those cars that look better in person, so you have to see it to believe it. Its the perfect size, what is this guy talking about. Not small like a 3 series, not big like a E class. Right in the middle. My only complaint is the price, it can go beyond 50 Grand which is too much even for this.

@roberth214 Well it is about the size of the new e-class, your right. I got a 2012 CTS in black for $38,615 recently, but it was a base. Yet that is about 10k less than an E-Class or 5 series. The car is good enough for me though and I love everything about it and am glad I saved thousands over the Germans. If it is reliable like it should be I will buy another cadillac in a few years.

@DualofChaos umm..you probably don't know your cars too well, considering this is actually just as big as an e class/5 series. Actually I believe the length and wheelbase of the CTS are both bigger than the E class. And car for your dollar? CTSV starts at 69k. How much does an e63 go for? About 89k. Do some research.

@MrMikeyboy1002 I dont have it anymore...I have a BMW X3 now

@DeltaAirlinesFlyer Prove it.

Oh please! A Cadillac will never compare with a BMW in terms of what really matters and that's the driving experience. I test drove both the CTS and the 535i and the BMW was more intuitive to drive. The Cadillac still felt like an old person's car, just one with a more powerful engine.

@izzle90 Its about the engine and price in how they compare to other competitors. They compare the CTS-V with a bmw m5 because of its engine. The LSA engine in the cts-v is just too powerful to compare it with an m3. The price of the cts-v is also more expensive than an m3. The 335i is compared to the cts 3.6, but performance wise, the 335i outperformes the cts by far. Its turbo charged Inline 6 is soo good that with just a chip mod, the 335i competes with m3's.!

[izzle90]

why do they compare the cts with the 3 series and c class merc..but the cts-v with m5 shudnt they compare it with m3 n c63 amg? anyways this caddy is the fastest four door around nurburgring it can handle!!!!!!!!!!!! goes straight like a missle and comfy well done cadillaccccc keep it coming
