2008 Cadillac STS - Slightly New and Refreshing

This year’s lead up to the New York Auto Show is getting heated. Cadillac just released the first images of the new refreshed 2008 Cadillac STS. It is not all that different from the previous (current) model. Some of the big changes will be the new huge grille and side vents. The STS’ look is now more in line with the new Cadillac Escalade and the new upcoming CTS which we will see at the Detroit auto show.

Along with the few new refreshing changes is a new direct-injection V-6 engine. This will be the standard engine while it gets 298 hp mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive remains an option on the 2008 STS. A lane departure warning system will also be available for the first time.

V-8 equipped models and AWD V-6s will get an electronic stability system, although we think it should be standard throughout the lineup. We’re also disappointed with the mostly unaltered interior.

Prices aren’t finalized at this time but it should be very close to the previous pricing if not a little more.
