#21 of 1325 Dealer comments on 05 STS... by msgreen Jun 27, 2003 (1:15 pm)
I stopped in at my local dealer yesterday to look at a new 04 CTS on their lot; however, I spent most of my time talking to the rep about the upcoming STS. He claims that it will be out in late Spring next year and will have both the 3.6 V6 and 4.6 V8 engines available (260 and 320hp, respectively). Otherwise, it will be a slightly larger CTS, with some styling tweaks and higher grade materials inside. May also have a six speed auto transmission, and an AWD option. He said that no prices were out yet, but that the V6 would probably be somewhere under 50K and the V8 over 50K. I have read similar stuff on other boards and in car mags, so we'll see....

Wood is beautiful. Not old fashioned on the inside; only the outside. The current Seville and Deville have nice wood and I HATE aluminum trim. Lots of companies are easily able to do both (powerful and nice interior).
#23 of 1325 It would be alright by me if Caddy offers both by logic1 Jun 27, 2003 (1:55 pm)
wood and aluminum. I would go with the metal.   Depending upon the mpgs, I would probably also want the 3.6 with the 6 speed auto. RWD only please. I love being able to push the rear end out when the mood strikes.
#24 of 1325 Cadillac STS isn't no surprise by wsag26 Jun 27, 2003 (2:40 pm)
With the ElDorado gone, Cadillac has told us in actions that they want to get rid of "old people cars" and want class. First, the Catera showed signs, then the redesigned Escalade in music videos and all for a while, the CTS, the awaited SRX, and the V-series models coming in Early 2004 including the first, CTS V.   The STS should be the perfect replacement for the Seville. Wonder if the DeVille will keep it up or get replaced (leave Lincoln in the pond alone Cadillac, there Town Car is still a boring vehicle). The STS will include V-6, V-8s, and probably a V-12 (no surprise, if Caddy Escalade is coming out with a 500 horsepower V-12, which will let it regain the power of being the most powerful SUV IN THE WORLD). I haven't got any pictures yet, only the same one that Edmunds.COm has. If I do, I will update.
#25 of 1325 good compromise, logic by libertycat Jun 27, 2003 (8:36 pm)
I'm glad you're also able to see my side (liking wood). I'll respect your opinion too.
#26 of 1325 I don't mind wood by eaton53 Jun 28, 2003 (2:27 pm)
But only where it is appropriately integrated into the design.   That's easy in a Jag, a little tougher when your car looks like a stealth fighter.

Why not various "atmospheres" like what Audi offers?

To those of you who expect the STS to compete with the S class and 7 series, you are crazy. How can you call the DeVille mid-level? Have you sat in one? It is a huge car. When it get's redone, it will be the S class and 7 series competitor. The Seville has been, and always will be smaller than the DeVille (ever since it's introduction in the 70's I believe). I think that with a bump in power, the sigma RWD platform, and a redesign, the STS will compete well with the E class and 5 series very well.
#29 of 1325 STS Positioning by arenn Jun 30, 2003 (5:37 am)
I too would expect the STS to compete against the E-class and 5-series. Both of those cars have been completely redone. The E-class is top notch. I will assume that BMW will only improve the 5-series as well. That makes it critical for Cadillac to get it right with the STS. Below grade interiors might slip by in a $30K C-class competitor like the CTS, where other factors can override that. In a $50K car where the competition is so strong all around, this would be a disaster.
#30 of 1325 STS Spy Photos on The Car Connection by arenn Jun 30, 2003 (4:25 pm)
The Car Connection has spy photos of what is ostensibly the new STS.   http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=6161&sid=17- 8&n=158   The accompanying text says things that are contrary to what I've heard from other sources about the car to date (e.g., saying it will be built on the Epsilon platform), so YMMV.
