The Evolution of the Cadillac CTS Through Three Generation Models

Cadillac, one of the oldest names in the world of premium automobiles, has had its ups and downs over the 111 years of its existence, ranging from innovations like the first commercially available V8 engine in the U.S. on the 1914 Model 51 and styling revolutions such as tailfins and wraparound windshields in the late 1940s and 1950s, to failures like its diesel adventures of the late 1970s.

After a long period of letdowns, the year 2003 brought about the first modern Cadillac, the CTS, which helped the wreath and crest company enter the 21st century and defined its brand image more than any another effort in recent times.

My Selection of the Most Promising Crop of Current Models from Detroit's Big Three

The US automotive industry used to represent so much more than just the Big Three, which are no longer automakers in the romantic sense, but multinational corporations that make cars. In my view, the American automotive industry sector was at its peak in the 1930s, and then it slowly faded into a mentality of bigger is better in the 1970s. By the year 2008, the remaining three major forces admitted defeat and it was only thanks to Obama's controversial bailout scheme that they are still here today.

Now, while in the 1990s, and even up until 2008, many American cars were for the most part mediocre when compared to the standard set by the Japanese and Europeans, they now seem to be making a worthy comeback, with models which would appeal to any potential car buyer in the world as genuinely enticing propositions. However, don't mistake this for a buying guide, because it's not – it is my selection of promising American cars.

2014 Cadillac CTS Detailed, New Vsport gets 420HP Twin-Turbo V6 [Video & Live Reveal]

If there's one American automaker that seems to have its act together after several troubled decades, it is Cadillac, which is proving once again that it is on the right path with the next generation of the car that started it all in 2002, the CTS.

The new, third generation of the CTS that was officially (we've already seen pictures of it) revealed today ahead of its first public appearance at the 2013 New York Auto Show on Wednesday, March 27, has all the ingredients to not only hold on to, but also to gain new customers in the highly competitive executive sedan segment – at least in North America.

These ingredients include a longer and consequently roomier body yet a lower curb weight compared to its predecessor, a more elegant or sophisticated, if you prefer, styling for the exterior and interior and a wider choice of modern powertrains.

For the first time since the inception of the CTS, the new model is now positioned squarely against the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series as well as newer rivals such as the Jaguar XF.

The new CTS has grown five inches (127 mm) in length, reaching 195.5 inches (4,966mm) and features a 1.2-inch (30mm) longer wheelbase, but at the same time, the roofline and the base of the windshield are about an inch lower, contributing to a more aggressive stance.
