CTS Performance Collection offers sport-centric ride

[Bruce Nunnally]

Cadillac hates to call the CTS sedan the brand's flagship.

That name lacks the prestige it once held. Flagships nowadays are more than the biggest and most expensive cars in any brand's lineup. They are the spirit of a brand, which is not always tied to the highest sticker price.

Cadillac refers to the CTS sedan as its centerpiece vehicle, which is probably more appropriate.

It's the center for Cadillac design, the center for a litany of CTS off shoots, such as the CTS Wagon, the CTS-V, the CTS Coupe and now the CTS Performance Collection -- the sporty one between the base sedan and the mega-powerful supercharged CTS-V.
