Outside, an upsized polished metal mesh grille, subtly bulging hood, ten-spoke aluminum wheels, lip spoiler, and rocker panel trim easily identify the 2006 Cadillac STS-V. Inside, the Cadillac STS-V receives suede seat inserts, leather upholstery sourced from the same company as the Maybach ultra-luxury sedan, unique Olive Ash burl wood trim, and special aluminum accents. Buyers may choose somewhat garish Tango Red lower dash, door, and seat insert décor if they desire. Equipped to take on segment leaders such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, the new STS-V has power, poise, and understated good looks. Best of all, this car possesses substance, a quality that until recently has been absent from Cadillacs. With the 2006 Cadillac STS-V, General Motors takes another leap toward making this once proud brand the "standard of the world." Photos courtesy of General Motors

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
