new beginnings

2008 Cadillac CTS

The Pros: Drivers will enjoy the CTS’ unique style and superior road performance. Although the V-8 powered CTS-V will be released in 2009, the 2008 model has a 3.6-liter 4-cam V-6 engine that makes it one of the fastest vehicles on the road. It also has a navigational system that warns the driver of improper lane changes and when other cars are too close.  

The Cons: Those who choose to purchase the CTS maybe upset with the OnStar system. Without Bluetooth, some drivers will not be able to integrate their cell phones with the OnStar system.   

2008 Audi S5

The Pros: Audi’s S5 could be the roomiest two-door automobile released in 2008. Customers will fall in love with the leather bucket seats, which are a great addition to the luxurious interior. With a 4.2-liter V-8 engine, the S5 is built for speed.

The Cons: The Audi S5 gets it right with most of its features, however, the brakes may seem a bit unsteady during the first few drives.

2008 Mercedes C63

The Pros: The C63 goes above and beyond its competitors by putting an emphasis on agility, comfort and safety. Some of its safety features include four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and six air bags. It also comes with active front head restraints that will move forward if a severe collision occurs.

The Cons: Although the C63 maneuvers well on the open road, it has difficulties with unexpected bumps that drivers may encounter on back country roads and in some mountainous areas.
