    It's a luxurious, stylish, CTS-V-powered sport truck based on the Holden ute. Think of it as the Cadillac version of the Pontiac G8 ST.

    It will be sold everywhere in the world except N. America because they know people here are only interested in hybrids, and would much prefer a Prius or a Volt instead a high performance sport truck in a dazzling cobalt blue color with a great-looking set of wheels.

    am getting a big feeling that this and all the previous posts about GM money-back strategy is ...

    AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR GM

    oh yeah ... and include that duel fight thing between Wes and Lutz in the CTS-V

    It is the STS/DTS replacement but no longer called the XTS. Now it's the STD and it won't qualify for the 60 program because once you've got it, you can't give it back.

    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.

    In reply to Cadillac XTS Is The New STS/DTS?
    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.

    In reply to Cadillac XTS Is The New STS/DTS?
    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.

    In reply to Cadillac XTS Is The New STS/DTS?
    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.

    The Motor Vehicle and The Letter X: Enless Possibilities.

    @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.

    @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).
