2008 Cadillac CTS is Car of the Year

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

If you were one of those who wrote off General Motors as a dying dinosaur — after all, it's been a decade since any GM car took home the Golden Calipers (the Chevrolet Corvette won back in 1998) — prepare to rewrite everything you think you know about what's in the General's store. With this bold, savvy, uncompromising showpiece of a sedan — the all-new Cadillac CTS — GM has leapt straight from the rabble's side of the velvet rope into that coveted, highly selective inner sanctum marked "World's Finest Cars."
