CNET has given the 2007 Tech Car of the Year Award to the 2008 Cadillac CTS. The 2008 Lexus LS 600h was also a strong competitor. Although the Lexus has one over-the-top feature - self parking (yes, it can park by itself), the CTS wins with two features: the ability to pause live radio and a weather feed through its satellite radio. You can hit the pause button while listening to the live radio and the car will buffer the live radio to the hard drive for up to an hour, so you can pick up listening where you left off.
Both cars have an in-dash music server and live traffic reporting system. The music server of Cadillac CTS has a 40GB hard drive. So yo can rip your CDs onto the hard drive. If you're driving down the motorway and there is traffic jam ahead, the traffic system will let you know well ahead of time.
The starting price of the 2008 Cadillac CTS is US$33,490 (NZ$45,000).
