Cadillac has called the 2006 Cadillac CTS
their smallest of sedans available, replacing the rounded and poorly
received Catera. This new and improved Caddy offers the Cadillac driver a great looking car and power, power, and power. A new revised and sportier look appears on the 2006 CTS, not to mention performance packages like the new CTS
V-Series are available to those that like to live in the fast lane of life.
If CTS were on a menu, you would find that it is offered in a luxurious
amount of flavors. For starters, the standard 2.8 model comes with a 210
horsepower 2.8 liter V6 and if that’s not enough torque for your buck, how about
the 255 horsepower 3.6 liter V6.
If still your pallet seems a little to dry try the newest of the bunch, the
all new CTS-V, which comes equipped with the 400 horsepower 6.0 liter V8 that
allows you to do 0-60 miles per hour in less than 4.6 seconds. This, by the way,
claimed the title of champion at the SCCA Speed World GT Manufacturers
Championship. This car retails for around $50,000 and is some hot rod with lots
of power.
The CTS is really a sharp looking styling car. I don't know if I would call
it a distinctive Cadillac as it really has some fine angular lines that make
this car look really sleek.
I saw one the other day cruising down the street in Brooklyn and it really
caught my attention. When the guy stopped at the light I pulled up next to him
and said "Sweet Ride" He laughed and hit the gas and just took off. I was amazed
at the pickup the car had.
Standard equipment on the 2006 Cadillac CTS includes front and side airbags as well as head-protecting curtain side airbags. You will also find the state of the art braking system on these Cadillac models, as well as GM’s OnStar assistance. For a little extra cash, you may opt for the voice activated navigation system, which is optional on the V6’s and standard on the V series.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tested this vehicle for crash worthiness, happy to say, Cadillac once again proved themselves worthy in the field of safety, scoring at least a 4 out of a possible 5. It is no wonder, this state of the art vehicle rivals few.

The CTS practically glides as it picks up speed quickly. The base price
on the CTS is $31,000 but it will cost you as you add the optional sports
package. The package adds Speedpro steering, 18 inch alloy wheels, XM Radio,
and Stabillitraks.
The all wheel independent suspension coupled with the Getrag 5 speed
manual transmission really helps with handling on all road conditions.
