The 2008 Cillac STS review
For 2008, Cadillac STS gets more horsepower, more electronic features, and bolder styling inside and out.
The STS has been given a substantial facelift for 2008. It’s the most significant change in appearance since the STS was introduced as an all-new model for 2005.
For 2008, a new V6 engine comes standard, a 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 developing 302 horsepower. The six-speed automatic transmission introduced on V8 models last year now comes with the V6 as well. Also available is one of GM’s most sophisticated V8 engines, boasting the latest in computerized management and variable valve timing. The result is smooth, efficient power. For even more potent grand touring, the super-performance STS-V adds supercharged velocity.
The 2008 Cillac STS adcomes with a choice of V6 ($42,390) or V8 ($51,810) engines. The high-performance STS-V ($76,555) comes with a supercharged V8. All come with a six-speed automatic transmission, although the supercharged V-model uses a heavy-duty unit.
All-wheel drive is available for the V6 ($1900) and base V8 ($1550), but not the STS-V.
Standard features include leather upholstery, aluminum interior trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bose AM/FM/CD stereo, interior auto-dimming rearview mirror, and the usual lineup of power creature comforts and driver aids. OnStar telematics (with one year’s service), StabiliTrak electronic stability control, automatic high-beam control (Intellibeam) for the headlights, and rear park assist are also standard
