After a CTS sedan whose styling went a little too far, the current STS generation's styling didn't go far enough. Cadillac has addressed that with another installment of "The Attack of the Grilles." For 2008, the Cadillac STS sedan has undergone one of the more dramatic restylings you're likely to see outside of a complete redesign.
Exterior
Similar to the redesigned 2008 CTS' nose, this is one for which the word bold seems inadequate. The bumper is prominent and the grille is dominant. Like it or not, you have to admit that the elements are in proportion, from the plunging grille to the stacked headlights and fog lights.
Interior
Though it's not as dramatic a change as the CTS' 2008 redo, the STS has gotten some interior improvements — and it didn't need as many to begin with. The car shown at the New York auto show was well-appointed, with wood Cadillac describes as Sapele Pommele. There's more of such wood on the dashboard and console than in the previous generation, and it can be added to the top quarter of the steering wheel as an option. The wheel itself is new and can now be had with a built-in heater. The metallic trim here and on the dashboard seems to be real metal. Hurray!
