Cadillac BLS 2008 Overview
The BLS offers all the looks of a Cadillac CTS, with all the driving dynamics of a Saab 9-3, on which is is based. Built on GM's corporate front-wheel-drive platform, the BLS is an entry-level model with three turbo engines taken straight from Saab. There are two 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engines that can be mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The top engine is a 2.8-litre V6 turbo. Built in Europe to somehow compete with German sports sedans, the usual power features are all there, as are six airbags and stability control features. The base model is fitted with 16-inch alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control, electric windows and door mirrors, a seven speaker CD system with MP3 inlet, and wheel-mounted controls for the cruise controls and stereo. Additional features include 17-inch or 18-inch alloys, fog lights and rain sensing wipers, leather trim, dual zone climate control, electric adjustment for driver and front passenger seats, a Bose stereo system with nine speakers and a six-CD changer, auto dimming rearview mirrors inside and out and rear parking sensors.
