A new Cadillac CTS is going on the market as a 2011 model, that being the CTS coupe.  The car maker has put the ordering guides online, allowing an interested customer to play around with different package options.  The CTS Coupe is scheduled to arrive at your Chicago Escalade dealership this spring, and the CTS-V Coupe will follow this summer.  It is one great car!

The 2011 coupe is going to be available in a sport sedan and a sport wagon and will be available in 2 door versions.  These Chicago CTS cars most certainly have a sporty, attractive exterior.  Compared to the current CTS sedan, the 2011 model will be 2 inches shorter.  I also love how the sport sedan does not have the traditional door handles, but rather door opening ability that blends in with the body.  The hood also slopes down elegantly into the back window to create a good flow.

The coupe comes with a powerful engine.  It gives 304 Horsepower and comes as a V6, 3.6 Liter.  You can get it in a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.  The CTS-V that comes out in the summer packs even more punch behind the wheel.  It features a V8, 6.2 Liter engine, that gives 556 horsepower!  I would love to take both models for a test drive when they arrive at my Chicago Escalade dealership!

Moving to the cabin of the coupe, Cadillac has done a great job providing it’s customers with quality and beauty.  Accents that are sewn by hand can be found on the center console, the door, and on the instrument panel trim.  The Recaro seats that can be adjusted 14 different ways also come on the 2011 Chicago CTS cars.  Now, everyone can be super comfortable while cruising around in their new coupe!

Cadillac has also provides the new coupes with many modern technologies that people come to rely on today.  You can find Bluetooth connectivity, and Ipod, MP3 integrated capability.  Very nice.  Some other great features include a pop-up navigation system, Rear Camera system, and a Bose stereo system.

The 2011 models of the CTS cars sound really great.  I am so excited for them arrive at my local Chicago Escalade dealership!

Cadillac is certainly doing something right with the Chicago CTS cars.   The CTS and CTS-V, for the third year in a row, have been named to Car and Driver’s 10 Best List.  Considering all the different makes and models you find on the roads today, this is a great accomplishment.

What is it about the Chicago CTS that makes it such a nice auto to own?  There are many interior and exterior components that make the CTS one of the best in it’s class.   It has a roomy back seat.  This is good because your guests will be comfy, but maybe a disadvantage if your pals want you to be the one to drive everywhere!!  The materials used to make the interior are very high quality.  You’ll also find many modern conveniences such as a navigation system, Bluetooth capability, and LED lighting.

The Chicago CTS cars come with powerful V6 engines that allow the driver to commute conservatively or drive with a little more gusto on the open roads.  The base v6 engine give 263 HP and 253 pound-feet of torque.  The next one up, offers 304 HP and 273 pound-feet of torque.  Very good for a mid size luxury sedan.  Furthermore, the Chicago CTS has really good handling, thanks to a four-wheel independent suspension.

Overall, this Cadillac model is a very reliable car, based on it’s performance over the past few years.  These Chicago CTS cars come with a 4 year, 50,000 mile basic warranty.  Even better is the powertrain warranty that lasts for 5 years, or 100,000 miles, including roadside assistance.  This is very important for most drivers, as it’s an added bonus, helping justify the cost of this and any automotive.

The Chicago CTS is also a very safe car to drive.  GM has the OnStar Communication system that most of us have seen on their advertisements.  In fact, in 2009 the CTS was a “Top Safety Pick” based on government crash and safety tests!

All around the Chicago CTS is one amazing car that has so much to offer.  Visit a Cadillac dealership today and see one for yourself.

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

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!

The Chicago CTS Sport Wagon has been patterned off of the design that the CTS sedan has.  The sedan has been an extremely popular model for years, so Cadillac designed a version of the CTS that offers the same smooth handling as a sedan, but with the extra cargo space wagons offer.

The sport wagon has beautiful features that I would be happy to show off to my friends.  It has the styling that many come to recognize on Chicago CTS cars – edgy curves and a rear and lift gate that have a V-shape.  This revamped wagon also has some of Cadillac’s classic tail fins that were found on their models in the 1950′s and 60′s.  Definitely an elegant looking design that would look great in anyone’s driveway!

The CTS wagon comes with a v6 engine and there are several options available.  The basic 3.0 L, All wheel drive (AWD), Luxury AWD, v6 Performance and 2 other more powerful options that offer a 3.6 L engine.  The 3.0 L wagons offer 270 horsepower, while the 3.6 L’s power on up to 304 hp. A few features that come standard across the board with the Chicago CTS wagon are 4-wheel ABS and disc brakes, Stability Control System, and Traction Control system.

This vehicle is a great option if you want something in between a car and an SUV.  This Cadillac Chicago model is turning into another successful creative luxury model from the American company that has been dealing in luxury for decades.
