Cadillac’s Comeback To The Sport Car Market

            Cadillacs can be found ruling over junkyards and retirement communities. They’re herculean vehicles that demand attention, but don’t really deserve it. The good-looking Cadillacs have been absent from the automotive world for a prolonged period of time now, with the exception of the occasional concept every couple of years. Fortunately, according to Motor Trend, Cadillac has answered the call of its German rivals and created a vehicle that is capable of restoring glory to the manufacturer.  

        
          Cadillac knew what they had to work on and for 2014, released a new Cadillac CTS that encompassed the true spirit of the manufacturer. The 2014 Cadillac CTS has won many awards, including, Motor Trend’s Car of The Year, 10 Best for Car and Driver, and Best Luxury Sedan of 2013 from Road and Track. These awards are rightly deserved and they emphasize the quality with which the vehicle was built.

            So Cadillac built a good car, big deal. Well, it really is. European, Japanese, and, Korean auto manufacturers have made vast improvements to their vehicles in the past few years. This has put a strain on American manufacturers, since they are known for their large engines, use of cheap materials, and horrendous interiors. These American specialties push buyers towards better alternatives, until now.

The recent advancements in automotive technology have allowed auto manufacturers to create vehicles that are stunning, inside and out. That’s what the Cadillac CTS is. It’s easy on the eyes and has a lot of kit inside the vehicle. Not to mention the Cadillac CTS Vsport offers German V-8 beating performance for a lower price. Now it would be a shame if Cadillac built this gorgeous, fast, and price appropriate vehicle, with a poor interior. Thankfully Cadillac didn’t skimp with the inside of the vehicle. 14-way power front seats, an eight-inch flat panel display, genuine wood, real aluminum and carbon fiber have made their way into the new CTS. The interior of the car didn’t need that much work from the 2013 CTS, but it’s nice to see an American auto manufacturer go above and beyond in the name of comfort.

          There are very little negatives about the CTS and even less for the CTS Vsport. Is it the best overall vehicle? Well that’s up for debate, but one the CTS should be in. It is however, one of the best vehicles your money can buy at the moment. Don’t believe me; take everyone else’s word for it. Either way you look at it, the 2014 Cadillac CTS has brought Cadillac to a higher level of vehicle production. They no longer make vehicles for retired people, but sports cars that offer comfort and speed. Cadillac has raised the bar for auto manufacturers worldwide; it feels great to have automakers in the U.S. winning awards again, here’s to hoping others catch up.
