The Cadillac CTS sedan has the looks, feel, and price, but it falls just short of being a BMW replacement.

The CTS has been around since the 2003 model year, but it has gotten a major facelift and brand-new interior for 2008. Although it’s close in size to other midsize luxury sedans and falls well below the larger Cadillac STS in size profile, the CTS is priced like a smaller car. This year, a new 3.6-litre V6 is available with direct injection and power specs of 304 horsepower. A carryover version of the same engine is also available but features a lower output of 264 hp. In addition to the rear-wheel drive (RWD) drivetrain, the CTS is also available with all-wheel drive (AWD) for the first time this year.
