With the launch of the second generation CTS sedan in 2008, Cadillac finally gave the hungry masses what they demanded…a wagon version of the BMW 3-series & Mercedes C-Class competitor. It wasn’t a bad looking wagon (and much better looking than the slab sided CTS Coupe thing) and the American buying public did exactly what […]
Cadillac launched their CTS-V sport sedan in 2004 with a manual gearbox and firebreathing V8 that was nothing short of awesome. The standard CTS sedan was focused on stealing sales from cars like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class or BMW 3/5 series..but the V-version was aimed at stealing sales from BWM’s M division and Mercedes-Benz AMG division…and […]
I remember quite vividly the first time I drove a Cadillac CTS sedan in anger. It was at one of those GM ride & drive events that were all the rage before the 2008 carpocalypse killed many a marketing boondogle budget item — but GM put us in the seats of a CTS, BMW 3-series, […]

So when a competitor says they’ve built a 3 Series beater, all of the automotive press rolls their collective eyes (or “i”s..heh!) and gets ready to defend the […]
We’ve all seen the original Road Warrior, a timeless piece of cinema that deserves a place in your collection sandwiched between Citizen Kane and The Godfather, but what if the movie was filmed today in the badlands of New Mexico and Max couldn’t get the last of the Interceptor V8s…what would he drive? A 21st […]
BMW is just about the last company on the planet to offer a clutch shifted manual gearbox in its executive class sedan — and that is a good thing if driving isn’t just an A-to-B exercise for you. However, I’m going to let you into a little secret, if you want the best BMW 5-series […]
The first generation Cadillac CTS-V was released for the 2004 model year as a complete and total departure from Cadillac’s traditional role as a builder of coddling geezer mobiles. The Corvette Z06 powered sedan was nothing short of an M5 beater and is cheap on the used market today. Find this 2006 Cadillac CTS-V here […]

The Cadillac CTS was released as a competitor to BMW’s 3/5 series in the 2003 model year. You’ve seen a few of the Corvette powered CTS-V examples listed on these pages, but there is another version that offers overhead cam sophistication, a softer ride, a much lower price point, a non-blingy grill and still available […]
