#2693 of 2757 Re: Cadillac Touring Sedan [cosmo13] by kplacer Nov 10, 2008 (1:14 pm)
Replying to: cosmo13 (Nov 10, 2008 8:54 am) I dunno if there is any official explanation. But working backwards, the DTS evolved from the DeVille so that makes sense. The STS evolved from the Seville so I suspect that the Seville is what the first letter stood for. To my knowledge, the CTS was designated as that from the start as the replacement for the Catera, but I don't think GM wants to remember that name, so maybe it just stands for CTS.

Well, perhaps I have less reason to be concerned. I have a 2009 CTS DI RWD. I'm nearing the 1000 mile mark and I've been averaging 15.5MPG. My main commute is 21 miles each way with a fair amount of congested highway each way. The thing that concerns me is that, driving pretty much the same way as the 96 Accord I replaced, I'm getting much worse mileage than I expected. WIth the Accord, I'd average around 25MPG. The CTS averages 10MPG worse, but only runs about 4MPG worse on the ratings.   I love the car, but filling up about every 270 miles is pretty painful.

Replying to: edklein (Nov 10, 2008 8:25 pm) not to add to your frustration..but if you have to be concerned about filling up the $40K cadillac over a honda.....then perhaps you should have stayed with Honda....was the honda a 4-banger..manual or auto?   21 miles in congested traffic..highway or otherwise will dramatically impact MPG,,you will not see high 20's in the CTS until an extended highway road trip....in northern va....im averaging 22-23 around town with stop and go....and 28-30 on the highway....over 100 miles steady highway driving at 70 plus..09 with 4k on it none DI engine Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Nov 11, 2008 6:07 am)

Replying to: pao (Nov 11, 2008 5:56 am) Plus I bet the Caddy weighs a whole lot more than the Honda too. From cracker box to limo you have to give up something.
#2697 of 2757 The Rumor I Heard. . . by cdnpinhead Nov 11, 2008 (9:44 am)
was that CTS stands for Compact Touring Sedan (compact only by Cadillac standards), but I'm curious too if there's a real answer out there.
#2698 of 2757 CTS is ....... by richw5 Nov 13, 2008 (8:40 am)
"C" class Touring Sedan. The CTS was developed to be Cadillac's compeditor for the Mercedes "C" class. Replies to this message: plekto (Nov 14, 2008 9:18 pm) cdnpinhead (Nov 15, 2008 11:41 am)

Replying to: richw5 (Nov 13, 2008 8:40 am) That's a common mistake. They were following an alphabetical pattern only.   They had the huge DTS, the Middle Sized CTS, and the BTS(which never was sold in the U.S.) The current CTS was meant to compete with the base 5 series at a *much* lower price.

Replying to: plekto (Nov 14, 2008 9:18 pm) "They had the huge DTS, the Middle Sized CTS, and the BTS. . ."   So, given that and GM's current "situation," there is surely an FTS somewhere in the mix in the not-too-distant future.
