Ahyy Typos are a PITA aren't they?
 
That does sound like a wicked good engine though. Any word on real world gas mileage for the new CTS?

Cadillac should have reviewed the ad more critically.
 
The DI 3.6 CTS is supposed to get better mileage than the base 3.6 did. The new rating for the 2007 CTS are 16/25 while the 2008 is 17/26. What is not clear is whether this is for the new engine or not. The STS has similar ratings and it has the DI standard.
 
GM's website rates both engines at 26 highway.

I could probably swing 30 mpg out of that then. Not bad at all for a fairly large sedan with over 300 hp.

Someone caught it. It says V6 in the banner ad. I never saw the original.

Heh. +1 for veracity, though "most powerful V6 engine" doesn't seem quite as impressive when the other contestants are the Catera and Cimarron.

Would not the CTS and SRX and STS be included? These also have v6's?

You can get the STS with a V6?

The 2008 STS has the DI 3.6 standard. The 3.6 has been the standard engine.

The CTS is at the bottom of the Cadillac line (so far), so one would think that the DTS would be the next level up, with the STS at the top. But that is not quite the way it is.
