Cadillac in 2008 - What's Caddy Up To

There are millions of Cadillac enthusiasts all over the world and many are restlessly awaiting for news from the USA car manufacturer. Here are the most anticipated news on the 2008 Cadillac models that will either receive facelifts or engine upgrades.

Cadillac CTS 2008

Cadillac CTS – This entry level Cadillac will jump up a few levels in 2008, mainly because of the optional all-wheel-drive system and a much more attractive front design. The CTS is also going to be slightly wider than models up to 2007. A 263 horsepower model is available, but motoring fans will certainly select the 3.6 liter V6 engine with direct fuel injection and an output of 304 hp. The 2008 Cadillac CTS will come with 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions. Directional headlights that turn progressively as the steering wheel rotates are also a cool addition to the CTS. A more powerful CTS-V is also announced, but no launch date has been confirmed so far.

Cadillac DTS 2008

Cadillac DTS – The luxury sedan from Cadillac is receiving a few additions in 2008, such as lane departure warning systems and an optional blind zone. There’s also a Platinum Edition DTS that comes with a stronger engine and more luxurious interior trim.

Cadillac Escalade 2008 Interiors

Cadillac Escalade – not many changes on the current Escalade model. However, somewhere in 2008 we will see the first hybrid Escalade SUV and a brand new lengthier Caddy Escalade ESV.

Cadillac STS 2008

Cadillac STS – a facelift is also coming for the 2008 Cadillac STS. The engine is a 3.6 V6 with a 6-speed automatic while the 4.6 liter Northstar V8 Cadillac engine remains optional. All wheel drive is also on the extras list and other new optional features include lane departure warning systems, blind zone and a Performance Handling Package that is only available on the V8 and rear-drive V6 models. There’s also a Platinum Edition STS which is more bling with gold paint and a lot more chrome. The amazing supercharged 469 horsepower STS-V will also join the Cadillac line up of cars next year.

Cadillac XLR 2008

Cadillac XLR – Not a lot of changes for the Cadillac XLR in 2008. We do get to purchase it in an Alpine White Limited Edition that is equipped with 18" chrome rims and a cooler grille. The Magnetic Ride Control system is also tuned up for 2008 and there’s also the option of having a heated steering wheel. Chrome rims are also offered as options with 18" rims for the XLR and 19" rims for the XLR-V.
