Cadillac STS overtakes luxury imports

2005 Cadillac STS

Click image for larger view

The big news for 2005 is the arrival of the STS, which replaces the mid-size Seville. But more than a name change, the STS finally signals a significant break with Caddy sedans of the last 20 years. Svelte, powerful and with rear-wheel-drive, the STS may finally be the car that puts GM's flagship brand on a par with its import competition.

In base trim, the STS comes with a 255-horsepower V6, but most buyers will want the 320-horsepower 4.6-liter V8, even though it triggers a $1,000 federal gas-guzzler tariff.

Because this model is such a break with recent Cadillac traditions, it's one of Bankrate's 10 cars to watch for 2005. Read our full road test report.

Elsewhere, Cadillac has added a smaller, less powerful V6 to the CTS entry-level sedan to keep the starting price at about $32,000. The V-8-powered CTS-V high-performance version tops out at about $50,000.
