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 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!

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!
