In November 2007, we drove the 2008 CTS (in 3.6l DI, All-wheel drive form) and wrote our impressions in a 4-part series.

We’re in touch with Cadillac now to see what other review vehicles might be available.

What would you, the Caddy Edge faithful, like to see reviewed next? We’d like to know just so we can make sure that, if offered a choice, that we pick the vehicles you are most interested in.

...and, just so you know, we are in line to get access to the new CTS-V and Escalade Hybrid as soon as possible.

Your thoughts?
