    Epsilon II means it will likely be more of an ES350 targeted car than ginormous american limo/sedan. too bad they don't have the stones to make an LS460 competitor, which is what Cadillac really needs. Leave the ES350's to Buick.

    I will believe the "death to DTS" story as much as the "death to Towncar" stories from Ford. The DTS and the Towncar are fleet queens and serve a purpose with low production costs, reduced R&D amortization, and relatively high sales with near zero marketing costs. Can you say "Cash Cow?" I knew you could.
    The DTS may not have a future sitting between the CTS and STS, but it still has a future as the second running livery car and provider of OI to the new GM's bottom line.

    Cadillac, I'm fine with using the DTS name, as long as it is at least somewhat taut in the suspension/feel department.

    I really wanted the last-gen DTS, until I drove one, and it felt wrong. Not enough feedback, by a long shot.

    I long for a 400+ HP land-yacht. My I suggest the supercharged LS3? Already developed and in production. Talk to your Holden division, if you still have a long-distance carrier granting credit.

    @I gotta job, I'm gonna pay the rent: I noticed a pretty substantial difference between a "Luxury" DTS and a "Performance" option package DTS - the performance spec car's magnetic ride shocks and other changes really improved the vehicle.

    Is there any better letter to use in a car than X? I submit that there is not.

    1. It's the traditional signature of the illiterate.
    2. It represents where the treasure is located on a pirate map.
    3. Used in triplicate (or beyond), it represents BOTH poison AND the hardness of the core in pornography.
    4. When applied to the front of the word Xtreme, it provides exponential magnification of said adjective. It also holds the power to allow the rest of the word to be similarly altered in spelling (see: Xtreem)
    5. When applied to a Ford Mondeo, it conveys instant Jag status on middle managers.
    6. Sportbike manufacturers would all file Chapter 11 if it ceased to exist.

    @Ash78: Yeah, "X" does seem to be king of the auto alphabet.

    GNX comes to mind.

    However, I vote for "Q", primarliy for sedans which are flying-under-the-radar.The first-gen Q45 embodied this pretty well.

    Why so many Sssss? I really liked the Deville name. I guess in more ways than one, that name was very "old GM".

    @dwegmull: As I remember it, the DTS nomenclature was not altogether unrelated to the DeVille moniker. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the progression used to go from the "base" DeVille, to DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan), to DLS (DeVille Luxury Sedan).

    Does putting your design center in Michigan strike anyone else as a stupid idea? Somehow Turin or Newport Beach or even Wako seem like they'd be better environments for automotive inspiration.

    I don't think either vehicle is really a surprise, at least in concept, but the real question is, how many more years do we have to wait for production versions?
