Luxurious and swift, the design elements of the 2009 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 full-size 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 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels or available all wheel drive.
Fuel economy for the STS ranges from 15 miles per gallon city, up to 26 miles per gallon highway.
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 2009 Cadillac STS is $46,410. A fully loaded V8 model will top out around $78,000. The STS is backed by a 5-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The '09 Cadillac STS has the sleek looks, premium appointments and innovative safety features that set it apart from other full-sized luxury sedans in the market today.
