9. Cadillac CTS
Manufactured and marketed by General Motors since 2002, the Cadillac CTS model is a mid-size luxury car.
The car is currently available in three body styles: 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, and 5-door sport wagon.
The first generation was introduced in 2002, and was the first Cadillac to be offered with a manual transmission since the 1988 Cimarron.
Even though it was originally powered by a 3.2 L LA3 V6 and producing 220 hp, the CTS received an updated 3.6 L DOHC V6 with variable valve timing in 2004, producing 255 hp.
Variants of the Cadillac CTS have won the Motor Trend Car of the Year award twice, and as of February 2014, the 2014 model ranked number one among Upscale Midsize Cars.
