Not only did Cadillac as a brand rank No. 1 over all, the new and much-talked-about 2008 Cadillac CTS won the ’08 Vehicle Satisfaction Award in the Aspirational Luxury Car Segment. Owners bought the CTS because it is new, bold and from a espected brand. They praised its aggressive Styling and Fun to Drive dynamics. Owners would like better Cup Holders in the CTS, but there was no denying it has proved itself the segment winner.

When the Mercedes-Benz S-Class beat out tough competitors such as the Lexus LS, Acura RL and Cadillac STS, owners made it clear that they wouldn’t be satisfied with anything else. The S-Class was bought on its Reputation and the Mercedes-Benz’s Brand Reputation. It received high marks from owners in several areas, including Braking, Handling, and Fun to Drive. Even though owners would like better Fuel Economy/Gas Mileage in this large, powerful car, they were very satisfied with its Size and Driver’s Seat Comfort.
