2006 Cadillac STS-V - CNET Reviews
When the nice man from Cadillac dropped off the 2006 STS-V at our garage, he told us that the "V" emblazoned on the car's front fenders stands for Velocity. With its 468-horspeower Eaton-supercharged Northstar V-8 engine, the 2006 STS-V is the most powerful Cadillac ever to roll off GM's production lines. From the outside, the STS-V presents an imposing spectacle: an aggressive square-jaw front-end is dominated by two huge chrome mesh intakes that enable it to inhale air for the supercharger. The STS-V's sumptuous eight-way power front leather-and-suede seats would double as armchairs in most family rooms, particularly with their built-in shoulder speakers. The matte black plastic for the head unit is a bit down-market compared with the rest of the interior, but this was quickly forgotten when we set eyes on the STS-V's huge in-dash tilting touch-screen LCD display. The main function of the display (which can be programmed with one of three background colors) is as an interface for the STS-V's advanced DVD-based GPS navigation system. Navigating the navigation system. Source: www.cnet.com
