Could that picture at the bottom be our first view of the new STS?

i've split the thread into 2. Anyone interested in the new STS, please go ahead and comment on it.

I guess that picture might be the new sts since it's the bigger of the two sedans in there.
It doesn't look that bad.

that 2 door migh be fun if its RWD

My guess is they are the CTS and the CTS-V.

I seriously doubt that the CTS and STS will look so similar that you can't tell them apart, even in a poorly reproduced photograph.

Besides, if there was any real news here it'd already be being discussed in the magazines.

P.S. Didn't someone post this a few weeks ago?

Or it's a CTS about 10 feet closer to the camera?

That's the XLR. It's RWD.

Hard top or convertable in the pic? I'd got for the roofed version

oohhh ok I see, that might not be that bad then

That's definitely an STS, see the huge discussion on www.cheersandgears.com- go to 'Cadillac News and Discussion'-Interesting Pic. To post, you must be a registered member.

Well. Here it is.. All nice and clear - on Canada's Cadillac site... Cadillac must have flipped when that original photo got out a year and a half before the STS's release...

kinda makes you wonder why we had to wait so long to get the actual car....seems like they had the design pretty well locked in over a year ago....and we still have to wait another year for the STS-V

Yeah, I did think that.. It looks pretty-much the same to me. I suppose they wanted to squeeze more out of the old design.. That's all I can think of.

i think its because they are f'in slow. how long have we been waiting for the trailblazer SS? they showed it at SEMA months ago, and it will be ready fall of NEXT year. at which time it will be on a 6 yr old chassis. Meanwhile the SRT-8 version of the jeep grand cherokee is ready to launch a couple of months(NOT YEARS) after the intro of the '05 model

You're probably right. They're slow.. I think that's why the G35, Maxima and Altima all came out with the looks of the CTS before the CTS did... (They did. Right? :p)
