Press Release Body: NEW YORK - The eagerly anticipated 2009 CTS-V, Cadillac's
550-hp expression of ultimate performance and luxury, hits the streets this coming
fall. However, the first sale occurred last night in New York City, where the first
CTS-V earned a winning bid of $75,000 at a special charity auction benefiting the
Prostate Cancer Foundation.

The auction was a major feature of "A Night to Remember," a glittering evening of
fine food, wine and cigars, hosted by Cigar Aficionado magazine and sponsored in
part by Cadillac. The 17 th annual Night to Remember last night at Manhattan's famed
Four Seasons restaurant raised an estimated $1.3 million for the Prostate Cancer
Foundation. The winning bid was submitted by Cano Ozgener, founder of CAO
International, a leading producer of premium cigars worldwide.

"Cadillac is proud of our longtime association with this great event on behalf of
prostate cancer research and treatment," says Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager.
"We congratulate Mr. Ozgener, both for making a generous bid benefiting a great
charity, and for joining a very elite club of new CTS-V owners."

The CTS-V, based on Cadillac's critically acclaimed CTS sports sedan, expresses the
full extent of the brand's dramatic design and technology. Designed to enter the
stratosphere of the world's fastest and most exclusive luxury sedans, CTS-V includes
advanced performance technology such as a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and
Magnetic Ride Control, the world's fastest reacting suspension.
