Introducing the All New 2008 Cadillac STS
The Cadillac STS makes its 2008 model year debut with an all-new, standard 302-horsepower 3.6L V-6 engine with direct injection technology that improves fuel economy and reduces emissions. In addition, Cadillac’s luxury performance sedan also features enhanced signature styling cues and adds leading-edge performance and safety-enhancing technologies.
“For the past two decades, the Cadillac STS has been a showcase of luxury, performance and technology,??? says Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager. “The enhanced 2008 model extends that leadership with bolder design, more standard power, better fuel efficiency and the kinds of technologies one expects from a Cadillac?
For 2008, the Cadillac STS is available in V-6 and V-8 rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. For the ultimate marriage of luxury and performance, the STS-V is loaded with performance features including a supercharged, 469-horsepower Northstar V-8 DOHC engine. In addition, Cadillac’s signature Platinum designation comes to STS for ‘08, injecting an additional level of distinctive luxury nuances such as a Glacier Gold exterior finish; bright chrome inserts on the exterior door handles and exclusive Platinum badging.
