<p><strong>LOS ANGELES, CA (November 20, 2007)</strong> - Motor Trend (www.motortrend.com), the world&#8217;s automotive authority and part of Source Interlink Media, today announced the selection of the new 2008 Cadillac CTS as the 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year™. The complete report on Motor Trend&#8217;s 2008 Car of the Year will be published in the magazine&#8217;s January issue, available on newsstands December 4, 2007.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Cadillac CTS marks the first time in decades an American automobile has been designed and engineered with an eye on the global marketplace,&#8221; said Angus MacKenzie, editor-in-chief of Motor Trend. &#8220;Among its many excellent qualities, perhaps the most valuable one is that it shows Detroit can build a world class car to compete with the best Munich, Stuttgart and Toyota City have to offer. With the CTS, Detroit is officially back in the car business, not just the truck or SUV business.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The CTS&#8217;s winning attributes go far beyond a well-designed facade,&#8221; said MacKenzie. &#8220;It&#8217;s the star of a new GM revival, and with a base car price of just $32,990, the car is truly accessible to a wide spectrum of car buyers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The base model CTS includes an impressive 263-horsepower, VVT V-6 (a 304-horsepower direct-injection version is optional), eight-speaker Bose audio, 17-inch wheels and a dual zone climate control. In addition to offering a classy, distinctive interior, superb fit and finish, and starched-crease tailored design, the six-speed automatic version of the CTS goes from 0-to-60 mph in 6.3 seconds. Motor Trend editors particularly enjoyed the car&#8217;s road-hugging dexterity, responsive feel, and sporty acceleration.</p>
</div>
<div class="ev_heading_n">The 2008 Field of Contenders</div>
<div class="ev_item_n">
<p>Motor Trend editors faced the daunting challenge of choosing one winner from one of the toughest Car of the Year fields in the history of the award.</p>
<p>&#8220;This year&#8217;s 18-car field was laden with truly significant vehicles,&#8221; said MacKenzie. &#8220;We had all-new interpretations of high-volume benchmark cars that virtually define their respective categories, such as the Honda Accord and Chrysler-Dodge minivan. We had reworked icons such as the Mini Cooper, Subaru Impreza WRX and Scion xB. We had new cars with old nameplates that carried the collective hopes of an entire company, along with all-new vehicles from Mercedes-Benz and Audi.&#8221;</p>
<p>To be eligible for Car of the Year, a vehicle must be totally new or redesigned, and released in the 12 months prior to January 1, 2008. Besides the Cadillac CTS, this year&#8217;s field of contenders for Car of the Year included:</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" width="100%">

<div class="ev_heading_n">Return to Prominence</div>
<div class="ev_item_n">
<p>With the CTS, Cadillac—and GM—captures the golden calipers nearly six decades after winning the first Motor Trend Car of the Year™ award in 1949.</p>
<p>&#8220;The CTS obliterates the ‘old man&#8217; image of Cadillac,&#8221; said MacKenzie. &#8220;This car will turn heads in the same way that the elite European models do, but it is unmistakably American and uniquely Cadillac. This is a bold and uncompromising showpiece of a sedan.&#8221;</p>
<p>MacKenzie added, &#8220;Tested and developed in the U.S., Germany and China, the CTS exhibits a global poise far beyond its predecessors. The chassis has the race track in its DNA. And it has an interior that manages to be avant-garde and innovative without being difficult to operate. The navigation/information touchscreen sets a new industry standard for stylishness and ease of use.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="ev_heading_n">About the Testing and Evaluation Process</div>
<div class="ev_item_n">
<p>Each year since 1949, the editorial staff of Motor Trend has evaluated eligible vehicles for its &#8220;Car of the Year&#8221; based on three key categories: Significance, Superiority, and Value. Superiority refers to engineering excellence, advancement in design, utilization of resources and safety. Vehicle concept and execution are important, as are use of materials, packaging, dynamics, styling and fuel consumption. Significance considers how well the vehicle does the job its maker intended it to do, and how it impacts or changes its particular market segment, influences consumer perceptions, and transforms product development trends. The value question asks, &#8220;What does this vehicle deliver in relation to what the consumer has to pay to purchase and own it?&#8221;</p>

<p>Cadillac was the name of a young officer in the French army, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, from a noble family of Biscay, who had visited in 1701 in the New World and had founded the &#8220;Town of Narrow, &#8220;an important commercial centre of furs. The authentic coat of arms of the family Cadillac and honors rendered to the french officer, promoted by Louis XIV, Knight of the Order of St. Louis, prompted the company to give this worthy emblem for its cars. In recent years, the exceptional quality of its production was it one of the first-American companies. When combined with other large companies, including Buick, it would be the highest and most prestigious automotive world: General Motors.<br />
Always faithful to its primary objectives, it can still boast today to be among the most renowned manufacturers, despite all attempts to supplant.<br />
<span id="more-3"></span><br />
BIRTH OF CADILLAC<br />
<strong>1902:</strong> in the city of Detroit, USA, a small automobile company named Cadillac reborn from the ashes of the Detroit Automobile Company, which Henry Ford was the chief engineer. As a result of differences of opinions, Murphy wanted to liquidate the company and appealed for an estimate the director of the company which had supplied engines, Henry Leland Martin. This man, passionate about all the work of precision and known for its great manual dexterity, had acquired enough experience in the manufacture of weapons of Samuel Colt (Connecticut) and then in the firm Leland. Faulconer and Norton, who produced machine tools very high precision and marine engines, suggesting a solution that Murphy would be full of the future: to continue building a car using the engine designed by horizontal mono cylindrique Alanson P. Brush (then aged 19) in factories Leland.<br />
On 22 August, Murphy gave the former &#8220;Detroit Automobile Company&#8221; name &#8220;Cadillac Automobile Company. In the autumn the first Cadillac car, the Model A prototype was presented at the Salon in New York in January 1903.<br />
<strong>1903:</strong> this car monocylindrique, the famous &#8220;one lunger&#8221;, a vehicle was quite primitive compared to those produced in Europe at the same time, but its characteristics of simplicity and lightness as well as its high ground clearance and made a vehicle particularly well adapted to the poor condition of U.S. routes. With a box with two planetary gears and an engine housed in the front seat, whose power was increased during the years of 7 to 10 hp (127 x 127 mm, 1610 cm3), it was produced in versions , A. B, C. E, F, K, M, S and T. The price of this car, built approximately 14 600 copies, ranged between $ 750 and $ 1400<br />
<strong>1904:</strong> the name while Leland was appointed president of the firm, was transformed into &#8220;Cadillac Motor Car Company.&#8221; The interference of a man as Leland within automotive production Cadillac was decisive for the company emerging: none other than him, without doubt, would have been able to draw maximum benefit from existing potential, nor lead with as much security Case to a mechanical industry high precision. The currency, soon adopted by Cadillac, was in fact that Leland had wanted to impose: &#8220;Our credo, perfection; our rule, precision&#8221;<br />
