The all-new Cadillac CTS made its Japanese debut at the Tokyo Motor Show. Next to it, GM also presented the recently facelifted Saab New 9-3, the Corvette Convertible and the right-hand-drive Hummer H3.

The new CTS features outstanding driving performance and excellent exterior design at the show. The new CTS underwent a full redesign based on the “Pursuit” concept of the Cadillac Product Renaissance, Phase 2. Fitted with newly developed chassis and engine, its already well-established driving performance has been sophisticated further, while its comfort and safety levels have been significantly enhanced as well. Sporting all these features, the CTS will make a debut as the next-generation premium luxury sedan in Japan.
