The Detroit Auto Show opened up with the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards , which was questionably awarded to the Chevy Malibu and the Mazda CX-9. Today the EyesOn Design awards presented four awards for design excellence and at least three of the four winners made sense. The award for the best production car went to the Cadillac CTS-V , which is very deserving. Also deserving is the BMW X6 , which won the best production truck. The best concept car went to the Cadillac CTS Coupe . The oddity was the best concept truck, which went to the Chrysler ecoVoyager . Calling the ecoVoyager a truck is like calling a dragon a virgin. galleryPost('cadillacctsvdasexterior', 3, 'Best Production Car: Cadillac CTS-V'); galleryPost('bmwx6exterior', 3, 'Best Production Truck: BMW X6'); galleryPost('ctscoupeexterior', 3, 'Best Concept Car: Cadillac CTS Coupe'); galleryPost('chryslerecovoyagerexteriordas', 3, 'Best Concept Truck: Chrysler...

Today GM officially unveiled the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. Yes, the same CTS-V that we have seen again and again . Don't fret, we're still salivating over it. The CTS-V delivers 550 horsepower at 550 lb.-ft of torque with its 6.2-liter supercharged V8. It is available in six speed manual transmission or automatic with paddle shifters. For the suspension, Magnetic Ride Control ensures that all shocks of the road are absorbed and the Performance Traction Management system should keep all wheels on the road. It will be launching in the fourth quarter of 2008. galleryPost('cadillacctsvdasexterior', 5, '2009 Cadillac CTS-V Live Shots'); galleryPost('cadillacctsvexterior', 18, '2009 Cadillac CTS-V Exterior Press Photos'); galleryPost('cadillacctsvinterior', 3, '2009 Cadillac CTS-V Interior Press Photos');

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Detroit_Auto_Show_Cadillac_CTS_V_Embargo_Breaks_Pics_Det'; After we explained earlier about GM's web-based brain-fart , it looks like the covers have now been officially blown off the wicked new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. We're talking 550 hp, we're talking about 550 lb.-ft. of torque, we're talking magnetic ride control, we're talking performance traction management, we're talking that beautiful 6.2L LSA Supercharged V8, we're talking sub-5 second 0-60 times (actually Cadillac's unofficially claiming it'll be closer to a four-second 0-60 time). And we're talking about all of this for a price supposedly competitive with the world's luxury sports sedans. Press release below the jump. galleryPost('2009CadillacCTSVPress', 12, '2009 Cadillac CTS V'); 2009 CTS-V: CADILLAC'S ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE AND LUXURY DETROIT - As the new CTS sport sedan earns accolades and new owners, Cadillac...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Detroit_Auto_Show_2009_Cadillac_CTS_V_Coming_Officially'; We've been salivating over the thought of the upcoming 2009 Cadillac CTS-V for a good long while now, and the press release we just posted on the Provoq concept unveiling is also confirming the Caddy that zooms will be taking the stage for all to see at Detroit. We almost can't wait to see the ultimate expression of art and science (and Corvette power train) in the flesh, but we're just going to have to wait. We're guessing the Cadillac Provoq concept being released at CES will be enough to hold us over till then -- as we've only got a week left until the Detroit Auto Show -- but holding out for a four-door 'merican power sedan with a six-speed attached to a big V8 engine rumored to be delivering power of over 500 horses will be tough going. We've got spy photos below to keep you company until then and the full press release below the jump. galleryPost('2009cadillacctsvspy'...
