Cadillac CTS

The Cadillac CTS is a luxury car manufactured and marketed by General Motors under the Cadillac brand from 2002 until 2019 across three generations. Initially available as a 4-door sedan using the GM Sigma platform, GM offered the second-generation CTS as a 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, and 5-door sport wagon, and the third generation as a sedan, using a stretched version of the GM Alpha platform. High performance sedan variants were offered for each generation as the CTS-V, with wagon and coupe variants offered for the second generation. The first-generation CTS marked a $4 billion investment by General Motors to set a new course for Cadillac styling, introduce a new rear-drive platform, and most importantly, re-establish the brand's relevancy. Wayne Cherry and Kip Wasenko designed the exterior of the first-generation CTS, marking the production debut of its "Art and Science" design language first used on the Evoq concept car, and developed with key contributions from Thomas Kearns and Mike Torpey. John Manoogian II directed the second-generation CTS design, as initially conceived by Robert Munson. Bob Boniface and Robin Krieg designed the exterior of the third-generation CTS. The CTS ended production in 2019 and was replaced by the CT5, which shared its platform with the third and final generation of the CTS in addition to the smaller CT4.
