The 2010 Cadillac CTS gets a new base engine that produces more horsepower and returns slightly better fuel economy. The CTS can also be equipped with an Eco Lux Collection, which increases fuel economy to 30 mpg highway.
What is an American luxury car? Some drivers may also find the CTS's awkward driving position and compromised rear visibility to be deal breakers. Hyundai's Genesis, meanwhile, offers similar levels of luxury at a cheaper price.
For Cadillac, the CTS is one giant leap in the right direction.
