Can Cadillac sustain its winning streak?

That's one of the biggest questions in the auto business for 2004. Cadillac, the luxury division of General Motors (nyse: GM (http://www.forbes.com/finance/mktguideapps/compinfo/CompanyTearsheet.jhtml?tkr=GM) - news (http://www.forbes.com/markets/company_news.jhtml?ticker=GM)- people (http://www.forbes.com/peopletracker/results.jhtml?startRow=0&name=&ticker=GM)), is preparing its new STS sedan (pictured above) for an introduction at next month's New York International Auto Show. The vehicle, which will be the sole nameplate in the new Seville line, will go on sale in the third quarter of this year with an estimated price range of $43,000 to $65,000.

The STS (which stands for Seville Touring Sedan) may be Caddy's most ambitious car yet. The completely redesigned sedan is gunning for big game, setting its sights on displacing Mercedes-Benz's E-class and BMW's 5-series sedans.

This will make the car sportier, as will the optional 4.6-liter, 320-horsepower V-8 engine, which it shares with the SRX and XLR. The less expensive 3.6-liter, 255-horsepower V-6 from the CTS and SRX will also be available, although Cadillac is planning for now to offer all-wheel drive only on V-8 STS models.

Man, bring back the Mark with a blower and all-wheel drive. Now that would be a car. Could you see us launching 2 tons with 500 horses and 4 wheels? That would be awesome.
