2009 Cadillac STS V8 Luxury

The STS (Seville Touring Sedan) is a mid-size car manufactured and sold by Cadillac.

The STS is the successor to the Cadillac Seville. That car used the STS name, standing for ''Seville Touring Sedan'' on upscale performance-oriented versions from at least 1988. In 1992, Cadillac split the Seville line into STS and less performance-oriented SLS (for ''Seville Luxury Sedan'') trim lines. The next year, the STS got Cadillac's then-new Northstar System, including the aluminium DOHC L37 ''Northstar'' V8 engine. Throughout its existence, the STS was Cadillac's highest-priced sedan model. Worldwide, the STS is Cadillac's flagship model. In North America, the STS is positioned between the mid-size CTS and larger DTS, and is priced above the DTS.
