Well, per my reality, which is still part of the US, blue book says, whoops the site is down. Guess it is worth nothing since the data is not available. Or perhaps it is infinite?

But I did find a site that had it listed.

The 1st Generation (1G, in my shorthand...) CTS was a good car for GM/Caddy. From what I've read, it rode/handled/sold well. More European in reality than just marketing. And Caddy made a statement with its Arts and Crafts, er Sciences, styling direction. All well and good.
 
But, as I earlier stated, to look at it was to want to look away. A basically handsome sedan just all muddled up with a terrible front end (truck-like), a too tall and busy rear-end (cleaned up somewhat through the years) and a profile ruined by extra layers and cut lines.
 
The interior: As Lutz noted, they used expensive materials but made them look cheap! Plus, to me, just the overall design looked incongruous and, well, cheap... The center stack, I think, was designed to look like a PC tower, and they ain't exactly pretty...!
 
Throw in the Mercedes/BMW/Audi pricing and I had no desire to even drive it. I'm sure Caddy doesn't miss me...
