The CTS is Cadillac 's Luxury Sports Sedan . 2003 Introduced in 2002 for the 2003 model year, the CTS rode on General Motors' new Sigma Rear Wheel Drive architecture. It was a return to rear wheel drive, as well as being the first Cadillac with a manual transmission since the 1988 Cimarron . It replaced the compact rear wheel drive Catera . The CTS was nominated for the '' North American Car Of The Year '' award for 2002 . The CTS is built at Cadillac's Lansing Grand River plant in Lansing , Michigan .
