Spies unwrap cover early- Motor Trend picks Cadillac CTS as car of the year OVER Audi S5!
One of our readers was kind enough to share this info with us...
Dear 001,
I have just gotten an embargoed press release(I work in the news biz) naming the 2008 Cadillac CTS the Motor Trend car of the year. The release is embargoed until 12:01a Eastern on November 20, 2007-- but I thought you might like to know. As the proud owner of an '08 CTS DI I could not be happier.
Great news for Cadillac but we at the Spies are always skeptical of these type of awards from the major outlets because they rely so heavily on their ads...and Cadillac just ran a HUGE campaign with them.
So let us ask you the question...Does the new CTS DESERVE the car of the year award or is the fix in and this one of the best awards money can buy?
Here is the list of cars it beat:
Audi A5/S5
Audi TT
Chevy Malibu
Chrysler Town and Country
Dodge Grand Caravan
Dodge Avenger
Ford Focus
Ford Taurus
Honda Accord
Mercedes C-Class
Mini Cooper
Mitsubishi lancer
Scion XB
Scion XD
Subaru Impreza
Volvo C30
Volvo XC70
In my opinion, the CTS is better than almost everything on the list but it's hard to believe it could beat the A5/S5.
