Cadillac STS Forum - 2005 through 2010Forum for discussions regarding the new Sigma-based STS model. Not for Cadillac "Seville" discussions (2004 and older).
well i guess we can see who the winner is here..no surprise. under 2000 monthly sales for a refreshed STS is nothing to cheer about. my guess is sales will decrease ever so slightly over the next few months and hang around 1300-1500 units per month.
I'm not so optimistic. STS sales will probably fall from here. The new model is out and anyone that wants one will buy in the next few months. By this time next year, I suspect about 1,000 a month. With the CTS going full- burn, and the coupe and wagon varients coming, I wouldn't be suprised if Cadillac kills the STS all together within 18 months.

I have read that the STS will in fact be discontinued by 2011. It makes sense when the new CTS is such a great car and so close in size to the STS that having them both makes no sense. I own a '05 STS and traded my '04 CTS in for it because of 1) AWD , 2) Larger car and 3) nicer interior. With the new CTS all of those differences no longer apply .
The good news is ( if the press is correct) is that Cadillacs replacement for the STS will be a S Class and 7 Series fighter. It is going to be the " Cadillac of Cadillacs" and is rumered to be the car that alllows Cadillac to bring their old slogan back " The Standard of the World"..... I will be waiting....

I'm afraid the press is wrong. The new large sedan will be terrific (If the same people who brought us the new CTS are in charge, how could I doubt it?). But I don't think it will steal any S or 7 sales. It's pricing will more likely be in the $45K- 62K range, since the CTS tops out at 50K. The volume potential for a car in this range is certainly higher than either the S or the 7 do, at least in the US. There will be a high end sedan bearing the Cadillac name someday. It'll be a while, though.
