The infamous Cadillac DeVille has been around for decades. And even though Cadillac’s views on renaming and reconfiguring their cars, which by the way is part of their newest Art and Science Era, has decided to rename the last of a long line of actual named vehicles; the 2006 Cadillac DTS is in fact the good ole DeVille Touring Sedan.
Special Thanks go to Ron Chappelear from Malta Ohio for sending in
pictures of his 2006 DTS
This newest arrival to the era of letter naming cars joins the popular
CTS and
STS, not to mention, the
XLR and
EXT and no I’m not eating alphabet soup, these are the newest lines of Cadillac’s.
Although, the Cadillac Company sold over 70,000 new DeVille’s to the public last year, it still decided to revamp the 2006 model. Don’t worry, it’s still front wheel drive which is a Cadillac minority. Unlike those Caddies that are trying to compete with the foreign market of rear wheel drive automobiles, but with some up-grades.
Cadillac's StabiliTrak four channel anti-lock brakes, traction control, and
Magnetic Ride Control are high tech and improve the ride 10 fold over your
fathers Cadillac. I really like the idea of heated window washer fluid as it
gets cold up here in New York. Also good for the cold is the automatic start
from the keyfob.
The largest of the sedans, this 2006 Cadillac DTS offers it’s buyers a choice
of Luxury I, Luxury II, and Luxury III models, each boasting 275 hp. And if
that’s not enough, there is even a Performance model that offers its buyer 291
hp.
Standard equipment on the DTS includes Cadillac’s braking system, traction
control and various up-graded safety features including front torso side airbags
and head protecting curtain side airbags.

As for the interior cabin, you might as well sit back and relax. It’s all
leather and comes with General Motors famous OnStar technology. There is lot’s
of room for the long legged driver, as well as their driving companions.
Baby boomers and those entering the retirement age will most likely find
themselves touring the country in this sleek and refined Caddie. But, unlike
those Caddie’s our grandfathers drove when they retired years back, this large
luxury sedan is sporty and luxurious.
