Well at least it wasn't the new Impreza.

Nice to see something from GM on the boards there. They needed a good PR boost. It was nice to see two Fords in the running, but come on...the Taurus and the Focus? Not exactly the greatest two to ever grace the showroom floors. Taurus isn't bad for what it is...but can it compete with the CTS? no. sadly...no.

 

Taurus and Focus.

 

I expected this, actually. The new CTS is a fantastic effort on Caddy's part; a true world-class, entry-level sport/luxury sedan.

I hope Ford is taking notes.

 

The Taurus isn't meant to compete with the CTS, but the Taurus is a great car, and selling well.
The Lincoln LS certainly was if not above it, in fact ran circles around it. Too bad Ford dropped it.

 

The CTS is a marvelous car-I had the opportunity to drive one for several days last month. (I was moved from our Ford store to our Cadillac store last year) It was a Direct Injected CTS4 (AWD) with just about every option. This car is light years ahead of the previous CTS and arguably the BEST Cadillac ever built!!! Needless to say it is one of few GM products that I would allow to grace my garage-if I were able to afford one.

The only problem is, you would not believe how many our store has delivered with Gold packages and Vogue wheels and tires-when was the last time you saw a BMW or Audi with those!?! Anway congrats to GM and Cadillac for a job well done!!
