Congratulations to the 2008 Cadillac CTS for winning Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 2008! It's a great car, much improved over its predecessor.
I test drove a new 2008 Cadillac CTS with the 258 horsepower engine, automatic transmission, leather/heated seats and stereo upgrade. What a surprisingly nice car. Fit and finish was exceptional, the car felt powerful and smooth, and the interior was very comfortable. I liked it a lot.
During this past summer I posted here that the 2008 Accord would win this award. I was wrong. After seeing the new CTS in person, I think Motor Trend made a good choice.
This award in no way diminishes the new 2008 HondaAccord. Ultimately people in the marketplace vote with their wallets for the best car. And while Cadillac will sell roughly 30k CTS cars, Honda will sell roughly 430k Accords.
