Luxurious and swift, the design elements of the updated 2008 Cadillac STS are endemic of a brand that has in recent years set its sights on passing European luxury sedans in styling and performance.
To establish its pedigree in this competitive market, the STS has been outfitted with a potent 302 horsepower 3.6 liter V6. For those seeking even more power, an available 4.6 liter Northstar V8 churns out 320 horses. A 6-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. All wheel drive is optional.
Mileage ranges from 15 miles per gallon city with the V8 engine, up to 26 MPG with the V6.
A unique feature in the STS is the optional lane departure warning system. As the name suggests, when activated, this system will warn you when you are drifting out of your lane- a terrific safety feature to protect against falling asleep behind the wheel.
Base MSRP for the 2008 Cadillac STS is $42,610, while the V8 model will start at just over $52,000
The newly updated Cadillac STS has the sleek looks and premium appointments that set it apart from other mid-sized luxury sedans in the market today.
