For
2008 Cadillac has two Seville models; a
300-hp 4.6-liter Northstar engine Seville STS and a 275 hp 305
ft-lbs torque in the Cadillac Seville SLS. The automatic transmission
in 2008 Seville STS will shift automatically and adapt
to the way you drive.
2008
and 04 Cadillac Seville STS offers luxury and the handling of
a sport sedan. The new Seville's are equipped with Cadillac'
Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) claiming to be the world's quickest
reacting suspension system (standard on the Seville STS), providing
a wide range of damping force control and responsiveness. This
new technology enables continuous real time damping control
and will increase control of vehicle motions for a flatter ride
and better handling. This new enhancement to the Cadillac Seville
enhances wheel control for a more secure ride by controlling
load transfer characteristics improved roll control and steering
during unexpected high-speed maneuvers.
The
new 2008 and 03 Cadillac Seville is equipped with Cadillac's
Performance Algorithm Shifting or PAS, this uses vehicle sensors,
including the lateral acceleration sensor to evaluate your driving
actions and then evaluates reprograms the transmission to respond
much like a manual gearbox. During a maneuver such as "hard
turn" the transmission will hold its gear to prevent mid-corner
shifts that can upset the balancing of the vehicle. When braking
the Seville through a corner the transmission will change down
for better cornering speeds and maintain the gear selection
through acceleration out of the turn.
The
2008 Cadillac Seville STS and SLS have an
available onboard DVD-based Navigation system GPS (global positioning
satellite) with bright and clear graphics which are conveniently
displayed on the instrument panel. Controls for the Seville's
sound system are integrated into a 6.5-inch diagonal touch screen.
The sound system is a premium BoseŽ 6 disc CD changer. I found
the touch screen to be very user-friendly and the screen features
a light gray background in daylight that automatically switches
to a dark black background at night. There are 5 dedicated controls
along the left side to control the navigation system and 4 switches
to the right to operate the sound system. The entertainment
system will allow you to view a DVD Video but only when you
are parked.
