2008 Cadillac CTS: Motor Trend's Car of The Year

Cadillac's all new CTS was up against some tough competition this year for Motor Trend's prestigeious Car of The Year award. But they preveiled with what is one of the best cars to roll out of the General in quite a while.




Stiff competition from the Chevy Malibu, Mercedes C-class, Audi TT, Honda Accord, Subaru WRX, and Mitsubishi Lancer, and many others.


Congrats to Cadillac.

Press Release:
DETROIT - The editors at Motor Trend, one of the world's premiere automotive authorities, announced today that they have chosen the Cadillac CTS as the 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year.

"Cadillac is truly honored to receive one of the world's most coveted automotive awards," says Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager. "This is a very meaningful reward for our team that created the all-new 2008 CTS, and a powerful statement to consumers everywhere about Cadillac's product renaissance."

The Motor Trend Car of the Year honor highlights the wide acclaim the 2008 CTS sport sedan has earned around the world and with consumers since its launch earlier this fall. Luxury cars buyers are responding similarly, with CTS U.S. sales jumping 75% in October.

The full report from Motor Trend appears in the January issue of the magazine (on newsstands in early-December) and online at http://www.motortrend.com/. Cadillac was the first automaker ever to win Motor Trend Car of the Year in the magazine's inaugural year of 1949, and again in 1952 and 1992.
