Cadillac CTS

Introduced in 2002 for the 2003 model year, the CTS rode on General Motors' new Sigma rear wheel drive architecture. It was a return to rear wheel drive, as well as being the first Cadillac with a manual transmission since the 1988 Cimarron. It replaced the compact rear wheel drive Catera. The CTS was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2002. The CTS is built at Cadillac's Lansing Grand River plant in Lansing, Michigan.

The 2007 Cadillac CTS is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sedan, available in two trims, the 2.8L Sedan and the 3.6L Sedan.

The 3.2 L engine went out of production in 2005, when a new 2.8 L version of the DOHC V6 debuted in an entry-level version of the CTS. In Europe, the 2.8 L replaces the previous entry level 2.6 L.

    The CTS originally offered either a 5-speed 5L40-E automatic transmission or 5-speed Getrag 260 manual transmission. The Getrag was replaced with an Aisin AY-6 6-speed for 2005.

    Upon introduction, the 2.8L Sedan is equipped with a standard 2.8-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine. The 3.6L Sedan is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter, V6, 255-horsepower engine. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
