2011 Cadillac DTS – Attractive, But A Tad Aged

First Look: The 2011 Cadillac DTS sedan could be said as the modern take on this classic American luxury car. The new sparkling, slab-sided styling of the new DTS sedan might be modern styling, but still certain styling cues for example the huge egg-crate grille and vertical taillights of the car gives the essence of the old days.

But surviving the modern market has not been easy for Cadillac's full-size sedan, and despite the fact that the Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) comes with a wide assortment of modern amenities and at the same time it has V8 engine, there are plethora  [...]

2011 Cadillac STS – Nice But Aged

First Look: It’s always tough to be the middle child in a family, and if you don’t believe us, ask the 2011 Cadillac STS. Placed in between the ever-popular, traditional DTS land yacht and the Euro-seasoned CTS, it’s hard to notice the STS, and as a result the car earns half the sales of its siblings.

On a whole the STS is a well-formed member of Cadillac family. The car also delivers respectable set of gizmos to please the modern customers, but the looks doesn’t support the modern features of the car, and now in its seventh year running, the 2011 Cadillac STS look comparatively  [...]
