Cadillac DTS - Overview

It is the largest car offered by any GM division. Introduced in the 2006 model year, there has only been one generation of the front-wheel drive, six-seat sedan Cadillac DTS. The DTS and a sibling, the STS, will both be discontinued in 2010.  Cadillac had planned to replace the pair with a single, performance-oriented luxury sedan, but reports emerging in late summer of 2008, say the pair may simply be cancelled altogether -- leaving Cadillac without an entry into the large luxury car segment it once defined.

The Cadillac DTS is available in five different trims, all powered by a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine. At lower trim levels, it makes 275 horsepower. In higher trims, and upgraded version of the same engine puts out 292 horsepower, but surrenders some fuel-efficiency in the process, making the extra 17 horsepower a dubious value. The car's appearance is more modern than Cadillac's image would suggest, but it still lacks the sex appeal of much of its foreign competition. The DTS's interior is enormous, able to seat six. Premium materials throughout give the DTS one of the most well-made interiors GM has managed in years. The DTS earned solid safety scores from the federal government and the insurance industry, but not quite the across-the-board high scores many competitors now achieve.
