  2003 Cadillac CTS - Previews - Car and DriverSeptember 2001
The CTS, as you may know, is the first of the "art and science" origami-style cars to come from Cadillac, and it replaces the chromed-up Opel it has tried to sell here — with little success — as the Catera.
Underpinned by the Sigma platform that is the basis for several new Caddys, the CTS is powered by a new version of the 54-degree European corporate V-6 displacing 3.2 liters and producing 220 horsepower and 218 pound-feet of torque at 3400 rpm.
Top speed with the V-rated tires is claimed to be in the region of 147 mph, and the fitting of H-rated all-season tires on the base model dictated the implementation of a 128-mph limiter.

CTS supplies convertible tops not only to the two parents but also to other manufacturers, so the system is likely to appear on other models in the future.
Drivers brought up on English sports cars of thirty years ago, in which the top was made up of a canvas cover and a metal-tube frame that did not even fold but had to be assembled, like a pup tent, will view the Porsche top with incredulity.
Driving the car on mountain roads in Austria that were high enough to squeeze the moisture out of the clouds gave ample opportunity to test the system’s efficiency, which was excellent, both going up and down.

These systems, prone to breakdown and needing maintenance and attention through the life of the vehicle, are the basic connections between the driver and the rest of the car.

From the time the CTS was introduced as an early 2003 model the most widespread complaint about it has been the quality of its interior.
It might produce a couple fewer horses at the top end than an Acura or Infiniti six, but the midrange is plump enough that this will be noticed, if at all, only by those drivers who spend a lot of time north of 6000 RPM.
A few quick runs find that the CTS (with the must-have sport package) is about $1,400 more than a similarly equipped C230, but about $5,600 less than the more comparable C320.

 Auto Media 2004 Cadillac CTS Review
The only thing Cadillac's smart CTS has in common with its predecessors is that its name starts with a "C." The CTS's sharply chiseled lines, jaunty rake and snarly exhaust note mark it as a sharp departure from its bigger, plusher brethren.
The CTS is a car that'll change people's minds about Cadillac—and if they buy or lease one and like it, by trade-in time, there'll be a next-level car to trade up to that could keep them in the Caddy family.
At 26 Hz, the CTS is as stiff as any German small sedan; the front short/long-arm independent suspension and rear multilink, the Sachs gas-charged shocks and the highly tuned suspension bushings have been honed at one of the best test locations in the world, the daunting 177-turn, nearly 13-mile long Nurburgring in Germany's Eifel mountains.
