I’ve seen that in other auto-makers that they have, like, special sporty editions of their cars. I rarely see these around my neighborhood in Texas. I’d like to know more about them if there’s anything available.

Hi, Sonny. Yes, the people over at Cadillac did build cars that match your description. I think you will be amazed to check out the V-series cars from Cadillac. Just imagine the following cars: the XLR, the CTS and the STS, all given that extra-special touch to make sure they are genuine stylish major machines on the road.

Let’s just breeze through each one, and I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. Better yet, schedule yourself for a test drive at your Cadillac dealer in Texas, so you won’t have to use too much brain cells imagining.

Let’s start with the baddest of them all, the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. Imagine trying to control 556 horsepower from its 6.2 liter supercharged V8. I bet that you’d feel like a pilot raring to take off to 60 mph at 3.9 seconds. Too sporty for you to handle? Let’s go a notch down the tachometer with 2009 Cadillac STS-V. With its 469 horsepower 4.4 liter supercharged Northstar V8, you will still get a rush in 4.8 seconds of 0 to 60 mph action. Still interested? There’s one more baby on the block. I think this one combines the speed, power, and handsome good looks on four wheels. Well, I am talking about the Cadillac XLR-V. I simply love the looks on this Cadillac roadster. Of course, the 443 horsepower V6 is not half bad. Oh, I forgot to tell you. They all look awesome in black.

A friend of mine suggested that I get a CTS for myself to use here in Texas. He kept bragging how powerful the thing was, and I’m already convinced that it is because of him. I’d like to find out what other features are there in the CTS.

Hi there, Mr. Reggie! Your friend was definitely right in pushing you to grab a CTS for yourself to drive around Texas. You should enjoy the rush of the 3.7 Liter V6 engines on these things. Just to add information for you. A standard model CTS gives you 262 hp while the direct injection model generates 302 hp. You can choose between manual-transmission or Hydra-matic transmission systems. To further enhance your driving experience, the CTS also has Stabilitrac, a computer controlled stability control system.

If you’re wondering what you’ll find inside the cabin, you will be amazed as well to find several interesting features. Available as an option, there is Bluetooth integration for your mobile phone. No need to hold the phone when receiving a call while driving. The sound system is more than great if you get an option to add the Bose surround sound system. You can also get the sound system with the option for a hard drive where you can store about 40 gigabytes (translated as: a lot) of music. There is also an available option for an electronic navigation system that’s most likely connected to a satellite map service. The device plots for you the directions, so you get to where you want to go without making wrong turns.

Best move is to schedule for a test drive for you to verify what you know about the car. Happy driving, Reggie.

I saw a Cadillac CTS the other day here in Houston, Texas and my girlfriend had to close my mouth to stop the drooling. Loved how the car looked. Care to tell me more about the car? I’d like the “ins” more than the “outs.”

Hey, Steve-o, I drooled, too. Kidding aside, I do think you don’t have to think hard about the Cadillac CTS. I’ve seen some on the road and saw one in display. You’ll be sold as soon as you step inside your Houston, Texas Cadillac dealer. I will show you some points that will make you feel that you made a great choice.

First, let’s get started with the style of the CTS. Cadillac, in my humble opinion, still rules in the style and appeal section. The CTS is a marriage of style and rugged looks that makes it a true sport sedan. Then if we look under the hood, and go through the different trims available, you’ll expand your choices. Your options for an engine can either be a 3.6 Liter V6 VVT or a 3.6 Liter DI. Comparing horsepower between these two, the 304 hp at 6400 rpm from the Direct Injection engine rules it over its variable valve timing (VVT) brother by 40 hp. There’s also more torque for the DI variant. Standard transmission for these cars is manual but there’s an option to go automatic. I love how the 2008 CTS handles; curves are not an issue with the car. As far as interiors and creature comforts are concerned, I’d say that it’s pretty much standard in what you’ll find in cars today. You will get navigation, a decent stereo system, power seats, just to cite a few. Anyway, Steve, I do hope you finalize your plans to get a CTS. You won’t regret it.

What makes the 2008 Cadillac CTS an outstanding sports car for luxury car lovers?

The new 2008 Cadillac CTS – carries a powerful aluminum engine that transforms all torque through a six-speed manual gearbox and sends it to the rear wheels in classic, and highly predictable and controllable, front-engine/rear-drive arrangement. This four-door spotter appears like it could out-run the wind and trump any twisty road course it comes across.

This car made history in 2003 as the first rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicle in Cadillac’s fleet since 1979, and the first stocking a manual transmission for a RWD Caddy in 50 years.

For 2008, an overhaul for Generation 2.0 of CTS brings fresh and new package styling with an impressive front grille patterned after the Cadillac Sixteen concept car. The new CTS scores a wheel track that is two inches wider, with traction in conventional RWD or on-demand, all-wheel-drive (AWD). Its two power train choices culminate with a forceful new direct-injection V6.

The sedan’s aggressive face features a prominent horizontal louver panel in modern expository of the Cadillac egg-crate grille and piercing optics with stacked round high-intensity discharge (HID) xenon lamps that swivel in concert with the vehicle’s front wheels.

The CTS is packed with comprehensive safety measures which include air bags surrounding front-seat riders, which stretch like curtains in concealment above front and rear side windows. The top V6 for the CTS makes 304 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, with the torque peaking up to 293 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. With the base V6 on board, the CTS works in RWD or AWD mode. However, RWD if you prefer the direct-injection V6, only RWD applies.

Cadillac establishes a MSRP for the 2008 CTS beginning at $32,245 for the base engine with the RWD format and manual shifter. If you want to add the automatic transmission, MSRP rises to $34,545. Packaged equipment brings more gear for higher price – a Luxury Collection, Premium Luxury Collection, Performance love One and Luxury Level Two.

Certainly, owning this masterpiece gives every passerby a head turn and be the envy along the busy highways of Houston, Texas. Check your local Cadillac dealer in town for a test drive and experience the power.

It’s only thirty thousand, which is a good price for a Houston Cadillac, and it has a lot of things that other cars at the same price just don’t–such as extra space. The design is lovely and I like showing it off to my friends, and it handles great on the road.

A: Yeah, I got a used Cadillac in Houston because new they are WAY too expensive. When you wait a few years you can get a much nicer car than you would normally be able to afford, which is great. Since a used Cadillac in Houston would be a luxury car, though, you have to be more careful what you get, since they’re built for people who have the means to get a new car every few years and aren’t built to last as much as the cheaper ones.

I would recommend the used Cadillac in Houston CTS-V, one of which I’ve had for several years. It drives well and it has a powerful engine, plus it’s well designed, and it has a few more years of use in it. It hardly ever has mechanical problems, and it’s just really reliable all around for a used Cadillac in Houston .
