Though enthusiasts will lament the loss of its longstanding name, the venerable Cadillac DeVille is replaced for 2006 by the new DTS. This front-drive, full-size luxury sedan remains the most traditional sedan in the line, and is designed to appeal to buyers who favor a large and powerful car with conservative styling, a soft ride, gentle handling, and a plush interior. An egg-crate grille highlights a softly restyled exterior up front, and vertical taillamps with a tall trunklid design that harkens back to the automaker's heritage. A redesigned interior features large gauges and a tall center stack on the dashboard with a touch-screen video-display. The DTS's V-8 powertrains are carried over from the DeVille, offering buyers a choice of the standard 275-horsepower variety or an available 291-horsepower version of the familiar Northstar 4.6-liter engine; both come mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox. A revised front-end structure and an array of standard chassis control systems (anti-lock brakes, traction control, StabiliTrak stability control with brake assist, and Magnetic Ride Control) help refine the car's ride and handling characteristics. Six airbags and a long list of amenities are standard. Best of all, it's priced several thousand dollars less than the DeVille it replaces.
