#61 of 1325 Its Do or die for GM by mbukukanyau Jul 17, 2003 (11:24 am)
Now, let me say this, I hope Cadillac is listening; they cannot afford not to be anything other than the benchmark in this market segment. The STS has to be better than everyone in the market place. It also has to fetch a higher price. Because perception of quality goes with price. People buying cars in this segment tend to associate higher price with quality. Another thing GM has to stop doing is Pushing Cadillac’s with incentives. The Zero% yes, But price discounts, just makes the car look cheap. They better build a few, and sell them for a profit and use others (such as Buick) as loss leaders. Finally, Cadillac has to last long, and lead in quality surveys fit and finish, performance/environment, safety, etc. Cadillac is in a position where, we are giving them one last chance. It’s deliver or die! Interior is where they should not go even try to visit a plastic factory. A cow hide shop would serve you better. The days of savings for you Cadillac should be out the door. Just build a me good car and Charge me for it. I believe a good segment of people willing to spend $55 K on a car feel the same. Lastly do we need the CIA to get picture of this car? I need to see something I am willing to spend money, for something different. Cadillac, you have your chance.
#62 of 1325 Is this the STS? by notyourname Jul 17, 2003 (3:45 pm)
http://cardesignnews.com/autoshows/2003/detroit/autoweek-forum/im- - - ages/awforum0121.jpg   the one on the right might be the sts because it is too round to be the cts and the DeVille is not in the pic so what is it

#64 of 1325 STS engines... by msgreen Jul 18, 2003 (3:46 pm)
while visiting a dealer recently to look at the 04 CTS the rep told me that the upcoming STS would have two engine choices: a 3.6L V6, similar to that in the CTS, and a 4.6 V8 (Northstar). I have read similar predictions in a few articles, so there may be some truth to it. Now if there is a "V" version, it may have a version of the Corvette push rod engine....one way or the other, we should start to get more authoritative info by some of the Fall autoshows.

Yes, that is the STS in that pic. The engines will be this: 3.6L V6 about 275hp. 4.6L Northstar, at least 320hp. The V-Series is an interesting topic. If the new V12 can fit, then that will be the engine, which will make at least 500hp. If it cant fit, then there will be a twin turbo Northstar putting out at least 475hp. Same goes for the XLR V. I dont think the Corvette's engine is going into the STS-V.
#66 of 1325 Looking for Images by mbukukanyau Jul 26, 2003 (12:09 am)
I am impressed with GM’s ability to keep the car in its “skunkworks/phantomworks” Un-photographed. There is absolutely no sign of either the STS or the upcoming Corvette C6 on the web. I happen to be a ‘car enthusiasts’ and I have not seen a car draw such anticipation as the STS has drawn in a while. Again, GM should not disappoint us. This car has to be better than, Benz E320, Beamier 5 series, Jaguar Type S, Lexus GS and Audi A6. They also have to make it a little pricier and refined than most Otherwise; guys will think it as a cheap alternative. Something like Infiniti. GM cannot afford to disappoint us here.   They will for ever be unforgiven by myself.
#67 of 1325 STS picture by richw5 Jul 26, 2003 (9:18 am)
One of the managers at my local dealer informed me that Cadillac will be running the "Train Station" commercials again. Possibly in the August - September or September - October time frame.   If you look closely, the car appearing in the final 3 seconds, on the wall poster, is the STS. They took out the XLR and replaced it with a sneak preview of the STS.   It should be interesting to see how many people catch the change.   Rich

Thats the CTS, not STS. The title says "2003 Cadillac CTS"
#70 of 1325 whose the real STS by blkcadillac Aug 07, 2003 (7:04 pm)
In the September issue of Car and Driver and Road and Track both have pictures of the O5 STS. The R/T STS looks like a smaller 16 concept, and its one the road being driven, while the C/D looks like the old picture in Popular Mechanics a few months ago. Does anyone know which is the real STS.
