The STS models benefit from GM's newest V6 and V8 engines, which boast the latest in computerized engine management and variable valve timing. The result is smooth, efficient power. The STS also offers a choice of equally smooth suspensions, from the standard suspension designed for smooth, comfortable commuting to an active suspension that instantly adjusts to any driving situation, whether cruising through a sea of potholes or swiftly motoring around a sweeping turn.

What really sets this latest generation of luxury models apart, however, is that the STS has returned to rear-wheel drive, an essential element for truly spirited driving. All-wheel drive is also available for handling stability in inclement weather.

STS is blessed with Cadillac's best interior ever, with comfortable but supportive seats that are infinitely adjustable, ample storage space, and superior sound systems. Most important, state-of-the-art occupant safety is standard.

Cadillac's top management rolled the dice when it empowered its stylists and engineers to create the all-new STS. But they were right insisting it be designed and outfitted from the tires up with one goal in sight: a car meant to bring as much joy and pleasure to the driver as it does comfort and convenience to the passengers. The STS has shown there's plenty of life in the wreath and crest, while the new STS-V shows that a domestic sedan can run alongside the world's best.
