General Motors today announced the all-new 2008 Cadillac CTS will make its world premiere in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The debut of the redesigned 2008 CTS in the marketplace is scheduled for late-summer of 2007 in the U.S., with worldwide exports to follow in the fall.
“ Cadillac has engineered an historic renaissance, with a completely new product portfolio, driven in large part by the original CTS,” said general manager Jim Taylor. “Success can drive conservatism, but not for Cadillac. The next chapter, beginning in January, promises to be even more dramatic.” The CTS has “exceeded our goals for sales volume, set new design trends, won championships in racing, and earned awards for quality and customer satisfaction,” he said.
In recent weeks and months, we have brought you several rounds of spy photos showing 2008 CTS prototypes in testing. Most recently, spies caught the 2009 Cadillac CTS -V on the Nurburgring and at a gas station in Germany. In October, GM previewed the new CTS — as well as other new models — to dealers at an event in Toronto. Sources said the car appeared nearly identical to the concept previewed on 60 Minutes in April.
