The 2008 Cadillac CTS get the "Motor Trend Car of the Year" Award

The 2008 Cadillac CTS get the "Motor Trend Car of the Year" Award. We knew that the CTS is a great world class vehicle that is priced like a 3 series BMW, but contended like a 5 series, and it's nice to see that Motor Trend agrees. This is very exciting for us and I can't believe how many calls that we received on this announcement.

Cadillac was the first Motor Trend "Car of the Year" 60 years ago. The last time we received this honor was 15 years ago with the 1992 Cadillac STS. We feel this is just the beginning for Cadillac and GM and everyone at Hendrick Cadillac Hummer is excited about future products still to come. The CTS coupe and possibly a convertible, and the BRX are still to come in 2009 or 10. The BRX will be a smaller SUV between the size of the BMW X3 and X5.

It’s a great time in history to be a Cadillac Dealer. Check out this link to the article.

2006 Cadillac CTS at Hendrick Cadillac

The 2006 Cadillac CTS is available with two engines: a 210-horsepower, variable valve timing 2.8-liter V6 ($30,515) and a 255-horsepower 3.8-liter VVT V6 ($33,160). Both are available with a five-speed automatic transmission ($1,200) or a six-speed manual.

Standard equipment includes leather-trimmed upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power driver's seat, driver information center, a seven-speaker sound system, 16-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires and a one-year subscription to the OnStar road assistance service.

Options include the popular Luxury Package ($2,100), which includes heated front seats with power operation for the passenger, memory presets for two drivers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, HomeLink universal garage door transmitter, alarm system, and a wood-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob.

The Sport Performance Package ($2,285), which has been realigned for 2006, adds a sport-tuned suspension tuning, high-performance brake pads, 18-inch alloy wheels with V-rated tires, load-leveling rear suspension, speed-sensitive power steering and StabiliTrak electronic stability control. The package also includes xenon high-intensity discharge headlights. A new Sport Appearance Package includes all the performance gear in Performance Package and lots of appearance tweaks: unique 18-inch wheels, restyled rocker moldings, dual exhaust tips, wire mesh grille work and a rear spoiler. In short, it's the look of the crazy-fast CTS-V for less money.

The DVD Navigation System ($2,995) includes XM Satellite Radio with a three-month subscription and a Bose stereo upgrade with six-CD changer and eight speakers, plus the new XM Nav Traffic system, which delivers real-time traffic flow information straight to the nav screen. Popular stand-alone options include a power glass sunroof with one-touch operation ($1,200), the Bose stereo and CD changer ($1,000), and a split-folding rear seat ($400).

The limited-production CTS-V ($50,675) comes stuffed with the 5.7-liter LS6 V8 engine developed for the Chevrolet Corvette, generating 400 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. This monster engine comes mated to a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox (sorry, no automatic option here). The package includes big Brembo brakes and other high-performance tweaks.

Safety features on all CTS models include active features such as traction control and anti-lock brakes (ABS) with brake proportioning, which balances the braking front and rear. There are eight airbags: front, side-impact airbags for front and rear passengers, and curtain-style head protections airbags on each side. In short, the CTS comes with the full complement of safety features expected in a modern luxury car.
