Cadillac has designed a car that will attract quite a bit of attention when people see it pass by. The Cadillac CTS 3.6 is built on a rigid body frame with a 50 -50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive and a multi-link rear suspension. The entry level engine that the CTS 3.6 comes equipped with is a 2.8 liter V6 which produces 208bhp. There is the option of upgrading to a 306bhp 3.6 liter V6 that comes loaded with a 6-speed automatic transmission. There is also the more powerful option of a 6.2 liter V8 that offers the driver 556bhp and is able to go from 0-60 in less than four seconds.
The latest generation of CTS features a redesigned front end with the wheels being placed closer to the corners of the car in order to improve agility and improve on the amount of space available for passengers to sit comfortably. The attractively styled interior feature a dash that is covered in stitched leather, the instrument panel is a well-designed piece of art that allows the driver easy access to all of the controls. Cadillac has included a retractable multi-function eight-inch touch screen with VGA display. There is also a 300 watt 10 speaker Bose 5.1 Surround sound system that allows for driver to use their iPods as part of the sound system along with a 40 gigabyte hard drive and CD player that is also able to play mp3 files. Cadillac has also included a DVD player and TV tuner to help keep your passengers occupied on long drives.
If you choose the CTS with the 3.6 liter engine the CTS will average 25.4mpg and the emissions are 264g/km which leaves something to be desired if you are rather fond of having an efficient vehicle. The 3.6 liter engine is able to go from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and tops out at 155mph. Storage space leaves something to be desired in the CTS, there is 373 liters of storage space, if you plan on carrying a lot of stuff on you drive you may need to find other methods in which to store it.

They have also engineered it with safety in mind including twin front and side airbags, stability control and ABS brakes. All in all the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 is a very appealing and well performing piece of craftsmanship. This car will draw the attention of anyone who sees it driving down the road.
