"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."

"The CTS takes this year's Car of the Year Award not because it's a great Cadillac but rather because it's an excellent automobile, possessing style, comfort, available performance, quality, value, and attention to detail which collectively elevate it far above this category's broad range of competitors."

"Exterior styling is aggressive yet upscale, interior materials and layout are arguably class-leading, and performance and handling options deliver everything from a comfortable commuter to an enthusiast's delight. Germany and Japan, consider yourselves served."
