He has a very convincing appearance. Widely planted eyes and politely restrained smile. Large polished planes cause unambiguous associations with an expensive musical instrument. And he also has a difficult mission to preserve the traditions and rehabilitate the brand, whose image at the end of the twentieth century was noticeably blurred.

grade STS passenger flagship GM on the Russian market model 2005. He is greatly similar to the younger brother of STS, which has been shouted for five years. And the largest Cadillac DTS is already Archaica: the drive of the front, so spread among the American models in the 90s, and the power is much less than that of STS. Therefore, it is not brought to Europe, but it became, our vertically-foliage hero is a recognized leader of the company. Our STS with all the leading (there is also a rear-wheel drive). And without the neutral turning characteristic of this layout. Even on the contrary, it is slightly insufficient. So most drivers who are accustomed to the demolition of the face more than the rear axle drift, such
the behavior of a large sedan will be more familiar. But the main thing in the manners of the almost two-ton American car unexpectedly filigree accuracy and ease of control. What does not exclude body rolls due to a rather soft long-weight suspension. But to pass the snake in good move is better and easier than prevented in advance. But the expected comfort when driving on irregularities, on the contrary, is not felt. And this is a paradox. Small pits are too impressive on the body. The average bumps are much better swallowed 
energy-intensive subressing elements. Steering wheel in the style of the genre: not particularly informative and empty. And in intermediate positions, by barely noticeable reverse reaction, it is necessary to capture, to which angle are currently rotated controlled wheels. But the stability of the movement in direct excellent, no infringement for the course correction is required. With dynamics of STS order. Five points. Who would doubt that? Clearly pronounced accelerations in a wide range of revolutions pressed you in the backs of wide solid chairs. What is nice for an American, the ACP does not suffer in thoughtfulness and makes the required transmission almost instantly both up and down. It's nice that with a sharp start, the car does not unload the front axle and the abilities to a decent handling does not lose. But the brakes are frankly chelting. You give the pedal, give, and it seems that some power continues to push you back. At the same time ABS actively transfers to the driver's entire horror car car before the impending threat. Well, it also stacked in the framework of the genre. Although in many respects STS struggles to get out of them. And it turns out!

DESIGN The development of the characteristic razor and faceted styles of the Cadillac branch, known since 2002, continues. More recently, the differences in the models consisted of sizes and types of body. Now, thanks to STS, plastic has become less aggressive, more smooth transitions and soft lines appeared. From the face awareness of 100%, thanks to the stylized branded lattice and verticals of lighting, with the number of which is clearly bust, and the three of its foundation of the image are not added. A dynamic silhouette with a long hood and a short trunk is modeled dynamic. At the same time, it is a sedan in which landing on the rear places is convenient and comfortable. Behind the image hold the vertical of the LED optics and, oddly enough, the spoiler and
plastic panel in the style of the diffuser with a pair of exhaust pipes. The traditional American table of the central console, dominated in the composition of the instrument panel earlier, became modest and does not protrude its self-sufficiency. As a result, everything looks more so. STS unequivocally
he beats the family stylist. It helps him and interferes, because the owner of the pathoral car will have to prove that he is not the owner of a more modest sts.

Large comfortable chairs
one of the main advantages of STS. It is extremely cozy to ride them, and side support is expressed more than it seems from the side. But they are low.
