The 2008 Cadillac STS gets updated styling and a more powerful V6 engine. STS is available in V6, V8, and high-performance STS-V models. All come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available. V6 models have a 302-horsepower 3.6-liter engine, an increase of 48 for '08. V8 models use a 320-horsepower 4.6-liter V8. The STS-V uses a supercharged version of the V8 engine with 469 horsepower and includes a sport suspension and unique trim. Standard safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. An uprated antiskid control system is optional on AWD V8 STS models. It includes an active steering feature designed to automatically turn the front wheels into a skid when the rears lose traction. A lane-departure and blind-spot alert system are newly available for 2008. Also available are heated/cooled front seats and a touch screen navigation system with voice recognition and a wireless cell phone link.
