Cadillac CTS Wagon price lowered to great value

Cadillac recently lowered the price of one of it’s Chicago CTS cars, the Cadillac CTS Wagon.  The price was reduced $1300, resulting in a base price of $39,150.  Hopefully this will help get some of the wagons off the lots and into the hands of excited drivers!

The wagon is a good vehicle if you are looking for something that drives like a sedan, you like the crossover concept, but might not want the traditional SUV.  This wagon has plenty of cargo space.  It also comes with a roof rack with adjustable bars for transporting a kayak, bikes, or whatever you might need for a long trip.  The good thing is that the rack does not stand out and make the wagon look tacky.  Plenty of cargo and transporting space makes me want to check it out at my Cadillac dealer Chicago.

The design of this wagon is very sleek and luxurious looking, a property that Cadillac employs across the board in new and Chicago Cadillac used cars. When you see one coming your way, take notice of the way the roof-line slopes down, as well as the taillights.  They are around 3 feet tall and come together at the roof-line.  Very distinct.  In the front of the auto, the grille is larger and contains the large Cadillac logo.  All of these put together make for a beautiful wagon!

How does it drive?  The CTS wagon comes in 2, v6 engines.  The base is a 3.0 L, 270 HP and the step up gives 304 Hp and is 3.6 L.   Engines of this power will give you that speed and power you  crave, while toting around your family!  It handles well and has great braking capabilities, features that are found in all Chicago CTS cars.  In fact, the CTS can go from 70-0 MPH in 159 ft- wow!  Moreover, the wagon has smooth steering.   The CTS wagon sounds like a vehicle that would be fun to test drive.

Let’s hope that the lowered price of the wagon gets buyers into their Cadillac dealer Chicago soon to buy this great vehicle

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe a Car Worth Waiting For

The Chicago CTS is going to be hotter and faster!  The CTS-V coupe was named one of the top 6 autos that is worth waiting for by CNN Money.  This newest Cadillac model was unveiled in L.A. at their November auto show.  There is a lot to say about this model!

The CTS-V coupe will share some of the same features as the V-series sedan.  For example, it will have the supercharged v8 engine that gives 556 hp.  Wow, makes me wanna test drive one right now!  Also, two 6 speed transmissions will be available:   The Tremec TR6060 manual that has a dual disc clutch, or the Hydra-Matic 6L90.  The Hydra-Matic  is automatic and has paddle shifters.  Like the Chicago Escalade, this sounds like another great luxury car produced by GM!

The CTS-V Coupe will have some exterior features that the sedan does not.  The coupe will be a 2-door, somewhat sportier looking model.  Of all the Chicago CTS cars, it has the wider of the rear tracks, one inch to be exact…This is a feature that one may or may not notice, but it’s mentioned several times as being an important feature that makes it coupe-like.  Length wise, it will be about 2 inches shorter than the sedan.  The Chicago CTS will be without B-pillars and traditional door handles.  Instead of the handles, the V-coupe has touch pads that give it a clean look.

Inside the CTS coupe, Cadillac has placed some great amenities.  For example, the leather interior has some hand stitched trim on the door, center console and instrument panel.  Talk about high quality!  Technology wise, The coupe comes with Bose sound system, ipod connectivity, pop-up navigation system and more!  These are features that are also found on other Chicago CTS cars.

It sounds like the Cadillac CTS-V coupe will be a welcome addition to the lineup of Cadillac cars.  I can’t wait to see it parked next to the Chicago Escalade later this year!

Sleek 2011 CTS Coupe Gives New Edge to Caddy Lineup

Sleek 2011 CTS Coupe Gives New Edge to Caddy Lineup

“It’s a beaut, Clark”, goes the line from one of my personal favorite holiday movies. But in this case my allusion refers not to the Griswold’s copious Christmas light display, but rather the beautiful new CTS coupe. And Clark isn’t anyone I know, but as I said, it’s a favorite and it is December. The Coupe will be available in dealerships spring 2010.   One look at this model, and you’ll want one for yourself!

There are some new amenities/features that will be a part of the new CTS that are different than those found on other Chicago CTS cars.  For example, Cadillac cut a few inches off the roof and added those to the rear track.  The fenders have more flare and the wheels are wider.  Also, the exhaust tips are centered and have a trapezoid-like shape to them.

Cadillac Gives Glimpse of CTS Coupe For Los Angeles Unveiling

A new Cadillac Chicago will be hitting dealerships next spring.  The CTS Coupe will be in showrooms as a 2011 model.  After a couple years of being sidelined due to changes within General Motors, this sleek styled coupe will be unveiled at the LA auto show.

The photos that have surfaced show a very attractive Chicago CTS.  It is a 2 door-model that has origami shaping.  I think it’s a great looking car I would be tempted to buy.  It will be available in rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive options and the engine is a 3.6-liter V-6, rated at 304 horsepower.   The gas mileage will be around 27 mpg for highway driving, using regular unleaded fuel. 

Some other feature of the coupe are the wire mesh grille, larger brakes, and large tires that can already be found on Chicago CTS cars.  This CTS also received high marks in overall acceleration and handling.  General Motors is reporting that the vehicle can go from 0-60 in just under 4 seconds.  Not too bad for a coupe! 

Also, the Chicago CTS comes with all the standard safety features, such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, and front side and curtain side airbags.  Some of the other standard features that will be available have not been released yet. 

The Cadillac Chicago CTS coupe promises to be a great car.  We’ll be anxiously awaiting it’s arrival next year!
