New from Cadillac in 2008

>

The rise of the fall could be the arrival of the 2008 fleet of Cadillacs. With six distinctive models on the market, chances are there is at least 1 that will locate its way to the top of several shoppers' wish list this year. And that's why we'as America's foremost online luxury-way of life magazine-deemed it our duty to provide this special luxury-service announcement to our esteemed readers. The venerable automaker delivers drivers a premium package of looks, performance, and service like no other.

The 2008 Cadillac XLR Roadster has lovers of refined luxury and demonstrable high performance cooing and wooing over this amazing automobile's capabilities. This vehicle's appeal inside and out is curb-superb. There is a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 with 320 horsepower. The "Rad Cad" sets on 18-inch aluminum wheels and has a power retractable roof, adaptive cruise control, and so much even more. Its base cost is $79,600.

STS. This is Cadillac's six-pack as there are six separate 2008 STS packages. There are 3 V8 and three V6 variants. Five of the six incorporate the word "luxury" in its name. However, it is doubtful that the STS V6 package, with a base cost of $43,135, does not have a bevy of deluxe capabilities too. The V6 Luxury Performance and the V8 Premium Luxury Performance packages begin at $48,890 and $60,745, respectively.

DTS. 3 of the five DTS packages contain the term "luxury" similarly to the STS batch. All DTS variants feature 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engines. The Performance choice has greater horsepower and a six-speed automatic sequential hydraulic shift package, which Cadillac calls a Hydra-matic automatic transmission. Shift if you dare or cruise debonair. Base prices range from $42,590 to $50,150.

CTS. The 2008 CTS offers a direct injection 3.6-liter V6 and all-wheel drive steering to enhance maneuverability and stability. A Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround sound program keeps the music in tune, even though a double sunroof, while a double sunroof expands horizons. The CTS' base value is $32,990.

SRX. Crossovers are either super-size station wagons or undersize SUVs. Take your pick. Though crossovers are commonplace sights on America's roads, it was a bold step for the pedigreed manufacturer to enter the fold with its compelling line. The SRX models come with V6 or V8 engines. The V6 is a five-speed Hydra-matic automatic transmission, though the V8 is a six-speed. Both are out there with all-wheel drive. Bases costs are $37,695 and $44,690.

The Escalade might be the most common transporter of the "uber-bling" crowd. But, there are a lot of soccer mommies and daddies who may perhaps beg to differ. The spacious SUVs are presented in 3 approaches, the Escalade, the Escalade ESV, and the Escalade EXT. All models are provided in AWD and give a dizzying array of standard attributes and optional packages. The Escalade's base cost is $55,640 the ESV's is $60,160 and the EXT starts at $55,155.
