The all-new Cadillac CTS was just named 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year™, and we couldn't be more pleased!

Car and Driver, the world's number one automotive enthusiast magazine, today announced the winners of the 26th annual 10Best cars sold in America. Winners will be featured in the January 2008 issue of Car and Driver, which will be on newsstands December 4, 2007.

"The highly refined, high-output 3.6L DOHC V-6 that powers the Cadillac CTS is one of the industry's best all-around V-6 performers. Meanwhile, GM also earns an award with its highly anticipated Two-Mode hybrid-electric powertrain, based on a 6.0L variant of its legendary small-block V-8."

"The Cadillac CTS has been chosen to receive two awards because our experts believe it outshines the competition in those categories. Considering the vast amount of research and reviews our experts conduct each year, these awards are a testament to GM's world-class innovation."

"Best New Car in the entry-level-luxury, $30,000-to-$45,000 price class is the reworked Cadillac CTS. The exterior is aggressive and the interior well-appointed. Plus, the optional 304-hp V6 makes it wicked fast."

"The 2008 Cadillac CTS wins our 2007 Tech Car of the Year Award."

"The 2008 Cadillac CTS offers sporting performance and unique styling."

Cadillac's new 2008 CTS sports sedan, already a hit with critics and luxury consumers, earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick for 2008.

"The Cadillac sport sedan we've been waiting for."

"Two Cadillac CTS models - the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and the CTS Concept Coupe - swept the production and concept car categories at the 2008 EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto Show."

Cadillac unveils a new vision for the future of luxury transportation with the innovative Provoq fuel cell concept — a hydrogen fuel cell crossover vehicle that continues GM's commitment to displace petroleum through advanced technology.

As the new CTS sport sedan earns accolades and new owners, Cadillac takes the next leap forward by premiering the 2009 CTS-V, the brand's ultimate expression of performance and luxury.

"Cadillac exterior design director John Manoogian II can't contain himself. He talks about the production CTS Coupe and how it will hardly vary from the 'CTS Coupe Concept,' the unmitigated hit of the North American International Auto Show (Detroit), without adding the requisite, 'If we were to build it.'"

Cadillac announced the introduction of the 2008 Escalade Platinum, a special edition of the segment-leading large luxury SUV that takes Cadillac's dramatic design, elegance and technology to its fullest expression.

Cadillac announced the world premier of the Escalade Hybrid, the world's first fuel-saving hybrid applied to a large luxury SUV. Powered by an innovative, fuel-saving 2-Mode Hybrid system, the Escalade Hybrid will deliver more than a 45-percent improvement in fuel economy in city driving - all while delivering the same distinctive style, segment-leading features and full-size capability that have made the Escalade an icon.

In 1928, Cadillac became the first automaker to incorporate safety glass in all windows. Proud to carry on that legacy, Cadillac still keeps safety a primary concern. So when we had the chance to have the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration run the 2008 Escalade through an optional safety test, we gladly stepped up to the challenge.
