Open the door with a tug on the handle (the keyless entry has unlocked things for you) and slide across the smooth leather into the nicely bolstered driver’s seat. Now take a wiff…that’s the smell of Cadillac’s leather – at once distinctive without being overpowering.

Fob still in your pocket, put your foot on the brake and push in and turn the ‘nub’ right where you’d expect the ignition key to be. Gauges light up with needles spinning to their max values before settling down to their proper values.

“Oh, yeah”

Cadillac graciously loaned one of their new 2008 CTS’ to the Caddy Edge so we could get a look at their latest and offer up our review.

Most of us are quite familiar with the original CTS, which introduced the driving public to the new Art & Science face of Cadillac. Facet-ed sheet metal inspired by a mix of stealth fighters and Cadillacs of the past (including nods to stacked headlights and tailfins). Interior design was equally edgy if not quite as successful with inspiration taken from desktop computers and possessing some of the highest quality plastics GM had ever offered – though not quite up to other companies’ level.

Developed on the Nurburgring in Germany – the CTS was a credible competitor to sports sedans from the established import luxury players. As such, it attracted a huge and loyal following unlike anything from a domestic luxury brand in decades.

Now, we’re 5 years later and follow-ons to the CTS like the XLR roadster, STS, latest Escalade, and more have carried Cadillac into the public consciousness as a legitimate and equal player in many segments to the likes of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi.

Can the sequel come close to matching the original? Can it address the complaints without losing the edge that made the original such a success?

After spending some days behind the wheel – the answer is an unqualified ‘yes’.

Just a quick reminder, the CaddyEdge will have a 2008 CTS over the weekend for a road test/review.

If anyone has any burning questions about the new car – please send them via our contact form or by commenting on this post.

Previous questions can be seen as comments on this thread.

Expect the review soon after we’ve had time to digest what we discover (and likely after Thanksgiving – since we’ll be out of town starting the day GM comes back to pick up the car).

The good folks over at Jalopnik, via the spy shooters over at KGB Photography have finally unearthed the upcoming BRX undergoing testing.

The BRX is based on GM’s Theta architecture (as is obvious in the picture showing the BRX next to Saturn’s new Vue that shares the platform.

Expect the Cadillac and its Saab twin to be significantly upgraded from the Saturn cousin, though.

We should see the BRX as a 2010 model, meaning we are still more than a year from its unveiling.

Catch the rest of this picture as well as more angles over at:
