Cadillac CTS Wins Motor Trend Car of the Year
November 21, 2007
Motor Trend magazine selected the 2008 Cadillac CTS as its car of the year. Cadillac won the award in 
the magazine’s inaugural year of 1949 with the DeVille.
The completely redesigned CTS is off to a blistering sales start. CTS sales soared by 75 percent in October over October a year ago for the sedan's best-ever sales month. At the end of October, inventories of the CTS stood at a scant 20-day supply, suggesting it is selling as fast as it arrives at the dealership.
Cadillac needs a boost. Its sales have been in a slump. For the calendar year to date, Cadillac sales are off about 6 percent. For October alone, the CTS pushed total Cadillac sales up nearly 20 percent over the year-ago period.
Cadillac was a highlight, being up nearly 20 percent from a year ago, though the luxury make is down 5.8 percent for the calendar year to date. Cadillac’s strength came from the newly launched CTS, which saw sales rise 74.5 percent for the sedan's best-ever sales month. Paul Ballew, GM’s top analyst, said CTS sales could best be described as "blistering." GM has a scant 20-day supply of the CTS since they sell as fast as they arrive at the dealership
