"While GM has ridden a drastic rollercoaster of highs and lows over the last few years, one unquestionable success has been the Cadillac CTS line, which became a new standard for affordable luxury when GM needed it most. At the New York Auto Show today, the auto giant announced that it has found some ways to improve upon the already impressive vehicle, which is available as a coupe, sedan and a wagon.   For starters, all 2012 CTS models will have a more colorful, three-dimensional version of the prominent Cadillac crest in the center of the grille. The grille itself has been refreshed as well, with a premium finish and a new frame and mesh combination.        2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe    A manual transmission is still available with the 3.0-liter V-6 engine, but an automatic is sadly the only option for the 3.6-liter CTS. That&amp;#039;s too bad, because the 3.6-liter sedan, coupe and wagon will all receive the upgraded powerplant, which boasts 318 bhp (that&amp;#039;s up from 304) and 275 lb.-ft of torque. The improvement comes via larger intake valves and better intake port design, coupled with a longer-duration intake camshaft that allows more airflow.   The improvements aren&amp;#039;t limited to muscle. The CTS will keep its EPA fuel economy rating of 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Engineers shaved 20.5 lb. off the V-6 engine with lighter covers and connecting rods, plus a new integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold that alone saves 13 lb.        2012 Cadillac CTS Sedan    If that all sounds great, but you&amp;#039;re just looking for something a little more special with the CTS, say hello to the new Touring Package. With either the 3.0 or 3.6-liter V-6 engine, the Touring Package will feature sharp additions such as an exclusive grille, metal pedal covers and dark Sapele wood interior trim. There&amp;#039;s also suede on the seat inserts, steering wheel and shift knob. The 3.0-liter model wears 18-in. wheels with a pearl-nickel finish, while the 3.6-liter gets polished 19s. If that&amp;#039;s not enough, the 3.6-liter CTS gets Recaro 14-way adjustable performance seats, while 3.6-liter sedan and wagon models will feature chrome door handles.   With the 2012 CTS, Cadillac has improved both performance and efficiency\u2014an impressive feat that will keep the car on its successful run.        2012 Cadillac CTS Interior   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
