Designers put a lot of thought into every aspect of a car, inlcuding the lighting. With new technological advances and creative-thinking from the CTS design team, the 2008 Cadillac CTS has one of the most innovative lighting systems around. At a recent Cadillac Press Event, automotive journalists were given an inside look at the CTS' lighting system. Kevin Smith, Cadillac Communication Director, John Howell, Cadillac Product Director and John Manoogian, Lead Exterior Designer were on-hand to explain the importance of great lighting.

MeatKP: There has been many rumors going around at a possible supercharged v8 producing from 550-600hp. One of the Cadillac representatives says he wants to "blow the doors off of the m5". I think they should make a V-Fleetwood too!

Great, but BMW is leading the way when it comes to SIGNITURE lighting technology. A Cadillac could be recognizable from the rear for years. It's only very recently that they have made Cadillacs distinctive in the front. Audi is trying that 12 LED thing below the headlights but its not working well for all their models. Very nice video though.

everyone talks about the cts-v blowing the doors off of the M division of BMW thats all well and good for horsepower ratings and all, but the M5 alone outsells the entire v-series lineup in America. thats something cadillac should be trying to fix rather than just making a straightline fast car.

The Tucker '48, (aka the Torpedo), built in Chicago, had turning headlamp in the 1940's, 20 years before that. Sorry frenchy!

yeah, the base model 2008 cts v6 VVT comes with throttle body injection. I can't believe anybody still makes that crap.

I sell at a Cadillac dealership. I also drive a 3 series. You can't compare a $60,000 V series to a $100,000 M5. It's unrealistic. Is the V an amazingly hot car? Yes. Is it a better driving experience than ANY other American car? Yes. Can you compare it to an M5? Hell no. To get a driving experience any better you have to go to the BMW, and that is a hell of a testimony for a car. To the skeptics> Your supercharged Mustangs just got destroyed by a 4 door family car, in Handling and acceleration

I'm very active in CCA events, especially the tech sessions at dealers garages. Having restored 3 BMWs I agree with you whole heartedly. Nothing compares to BMW. Not MB, not Porsche. They come apart and go back together perfectly. Nothing built like BMW, nothing drives like BMW.

What the hell are ... ( 5 months ago by ubavec)

What the hell are these guys thinking? M-division in BMW wasn't made over night, it is build in terms of quality and reputation for decades and decades, and now what?Someone is gonna make a fast car, and just take over M-Division in terms of performance,handling, comfort....??? Instead of embarrassing yourselves like that, try and learn something from the Germans, the ARE the big boys in the car world today.

My parents have owned many BMW's and several 911's. I must say that the drive and overall feel of quality is much much higher in the Porsche. The BMW is great but a Porsche is a BMW+1.

Thats the beauty of having both cars. We can disagree. I have a passion for restoring cars and have done so since I was 16. I would buy older cars do some work on them and flip them. Recently I have begun work on several Jaguars (2 XJS's to be exact). Ive also done some extensive work on Porsches as my father is also a collector. I have always found Porsches to be better built as their designs are often simpler and more straight forward. In my opinion Porsche is a better car.

Thats funny, I too have been restoring cars since I was 16. That means I've been restoring cars ten years longer than you have been alive. I believe you are correct in your assessment that simpler is better, but you got it backwards. Ex. Check out some of the coolant diagrams for water cooled Porsches, some of them have in excess of 16 hoses and they are famous for using tapered hoses. All that performance comes at a price.

Trust me I know complicated, like I said I focus on BL Jaguars. Complicated doesnt begin to describe the 12 cylinder engine, with that being said the design is far superior to Porsche or BMW. BL Jags were just made poorly, if BL had taken the brilliant designs and built them with the kinds of materials and with the care of a BMW or a Porsche, it would in my opinion be the better of both of them. With that said, Porsches engine designs work better, they are more efficent.

and upon closer ... ( 2 months ago by BamFor07)

and upon closer inspection the parts of a higher quality (generally). Ill give one thing to BMW though, the designs are more accomodating to the person working on the vehicle, that still doesnt change the fact that the Porsche is better for the road etc. One thing ive found with allot of the older guys who work for me is that they often miss the tiny details and well the story is in the details isnt it?

actually the v12 models are quite simplistic in both design and function. Even the MI units are easy if you know where to get the parts.

They are simple in your world, which is the same one where a BMW is better than a Porsche. Thanks for the convo but your last comment proves that there is nothing left to say except walk away and laugh. Best of luck with your collection, im sure there are some fine cars in it and we will just agree to disagree.
