The DTS is the last of the FWD-Cadillac models that were the norm before the era of RWD and trucks. The DTS features a 4.6L V-8, and a sub-standard 4-speed automatic. Optional 18" alloy wheels house larger brakes for improved braking power. Other safety enhancements include dual-depth airbags that sense front passenger size and seatbelt usage, and deploy accordingly.
