2008 Cadillac STS Review - Motor Authority

2008-Cadillac-STS-Review.jpg

Motor Authority have published their review of the 2008 Cadillac STS 3.6L V6 sedan. ' Since the STS is a large sedan, its main competitors are the 5-series, E-Class or GS models. The Caddy offers three options in terms of engines - a V6, a V8 and a supercharged V8. Perhaps the most significant update from the 2007 model is the extra 47hp (35kW) to be found under the hood in the V6 model, which brings the 3.6L unit’s output to 302hp (225kW) and 369Nm (272lb-ft) of torque. The 4.6L Northstar V8, meanwhile, has not been updated and still musters 320 ponies (239kW) at a premium of $9,000 - though you do get extra equipment as well.

Also returning to the Cadillac stable this year is a Platinum Edition STS, which gets gold paint, bigger wheels and extra chrome to appeal to the more traditional Cadillac buyer, as well as a performance STS-V version with a 469hp (350kW) supercharged V8 engine. In terms of sales numbers, our money’s on the new V6, which packs in a lot of features for a relatively low price, is the most fuel-efficient, and carries almost as much power as the naturally aspirated V8 version.
