 THE CADILLAC CTS - TOP TEN FEATURES 1. Bold, dramatic exterior styling – With a more aggressive presence thanks to its Cadillac Sixteen concept-inspired upper and lower grilles with chrome surrounds; vertical light “pipes” front and rear; flared wheel wells; raised body-side lines; functional chrome fender air extractor; standard 17" wheels; light emitting diode (LED) tail lamps; and polished dual exhaust tips. 2. World-class craftsmanship and details – The 2008 CTS sets a new standard with reduced exterior gaps and seams, laser brazing on roof and deck lid, and triple door seals for a quieter cabin. The handcrafted interior balances luxury and sport with Cadillac’s hand cut-and-sewn materials for a crafted, high-end appearance. 3. 3.6L V6 VVT Direct Injection engine – Introduces fuel directly into engine cylinders, resulting in improved efficiency, reduced emissions and significant gains in power: 304 hp and 270 lb.-ft. torque. Power is achieved on regular unleaded fuel, a competitive advantage. Both engines are paired with 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions. 4. Available “Active” AWD – Delivers 25% of available torque to front wheels and 75% to rear wheels on dry roads for maximum performance and up to 100% of available torque to front wheels on wet, icy or snow-covered roads for improved traction and handling. 5. Upgraded chassis – Includes 2" wider track front and rear; four-mode driver-selectable StabiliTrak; new, larger ZF premium steering gear; larger brakes; and three suspension levels. The result: precise fun-to-drive handling performance. 6. Enhanced safety – Six standard air bags — including passenger-side dual-depth, pelvic/thorax front row and head-curtain roof rail-mounted side air bags. 7. Available ambient interior lighting – Includes light emitting diodes (LED) light pipes and LED spotlights that create a dramatic, premium effect during night drives. 8. Available Adaptive Forward Lighting System – HID headlamps automatically pivot a maximum of 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard in tandem, enhancing illumination in the headed direction when turning. 9. New UltraView sunroof – Two-panel sunroof system opens 70% of roof area for front and rear-seat passengers and includes a power sunshade. 10. Navigation and infotainment systems – Available 3-D GPS touch-screen navigation with DVD playback, 8" concealed/pop-up display, full voice-guided activation (VGA) and XM Instant Traffic and Weather; Bose 5.1 Surround sound system with 300 watts, 10 speakers, USB jack, 40GB Hard Disc Device (HDD) for ripping CDs and file storage.
