Well. It looks like there's a new Cadillac on it's way...

This should replace the STS and DTS. No rear wheel drive, unfortunately. They'll be doing the Audi thing with AWD, though. There's not a whole lot of information available yet but we've got a new forum to discuss the XTS...

[dirt_cheap_fleetwood]

Are there any pictures of the new car or is it all just talk as of right now?

[Lord Cadillac]

No pictures as of yet. When they become available, they'll be found in the XTS forum...

[eyekandyboats.inc]

so now all we will have is the SRX, CTS, XTS, and the lade.
Oh well

[hueterm]

If the XTS becomes the CTS' big brother -- that would be pretty hot. Especially if there were an AWD version. I just hope it's bigger than the STS....

It'll be about the same size as the Lincoln MKS. The "new" American full-size.. Yeah, I don't like it either - but what can ya do when GM would rather bow to CAFE rather than allow the customers to pay the difference...

The Liberal media has spent the last decade shredding GM's image by painting them as producers of huge, gas guzzling, environmentally destructive vehicles- even though during that time they've manufactured some of the cleanest and most efficient vehicles in the world.

Ask 100 people on the street if a Chevy Traverse gets better gas mileage than a Honda Pilot, and I'll bet 90 of them say no (even though it does).
Regardless of whether or not it's true or justified, GM now has no choice but to go to the other extreme to convince the public that they make fuel efficient cars.

It's unfortunate that a once great company like Cadillac has to succumb to a media that no longer reports the news but makes the news.

The STS is 197", the MKS is 204" and the DTS is 207". Considering that our gov't consists of the offspring of "Hello Kitty" and "My Little Pony" (i.e. no balls) -- if the XTS were the size of MKS, I'd be satisfied.

I just hope it isn't crossover SUV-like in height, like the MKS. It needs to look sexy...

[Lord Cadillac]

If I had one wish, it would be that the XTS is as wide as a Town Car with an extended wheelbase version available...
If I had a second, it would be that the XTS had a 400hp v8 as an option.

[hueterm]

Yeah That ^^^

[orconn]

^^^^^ I quess I'll just have to keep my '95 Seville STS in tip top shape and keep driving it. Maybe Mercedes or BMW will come up with something. There are no "ricers" in my future.

I agree, but this too shall pass. We survived the Mustang II, K cars and Feather Dusters, and we'll make it through this as well. Meanwhile, anyone who voted for a Democratic senator or Barack Obama needs to keep their mouth shut about the state of the Auto industry for the next 4 years.

A democrat in a Cadillac???

[I~LUV~Caddys8792]

If it's the size of a current S Class/7 Series/A8, that's great. (204-205") In today's market, there really aren't any cars longer than that.
