DANA POINT, Calif. -- We're ripping through wilderness in the Santa Margarita Mountains, following a deserted trace of crumpled pavement on La Luz Road as it twists, turns and descends into Fallbrook and, eventually, leads to the California coast at Oceanside.
The 2003 Cadillac CTS is a good vehicle for this freewheeling ride on the wild side of automotive performance. It is a world-class sports touring sedan that's well equipped for the task of tracking quickly, but adeptly, through so many winding mountain curves.
