Xts
 

Once i saw this i actually think Cadillac is finally stepping up to be on top once again. This will be the all new XTS which is going to replace the DTS and STS.

A sweeping profile blended in a short, high deck lid that meets the XTS Platinum Concept’s aerodynamic needs – including a rear spoiler mounted on the deck lid, with the well known center high-mounted stop lamp. A high, sloping beltline gestures the vehicle forward, suggesting motion, while the fenders flare outward wrapping tightly around 20-inch wheels and tires. The wheel-to-body proportion was carefully tailored to visually communicate the car’s all-wheel-drive chassis.

Premium leather seats include a new style of automotive suede, with a laser-etched pattern. The patterned material adorns the center sections of the seats and accents the door trim. Thoughtfully detailed stitching is used throughout the interior, including the seats, instrument panel and door panels. Passengers in the spacious rear compartment of the XTS Platinum Concept also have access to the car’s connectivity feature, along with a range of infotainment choices.

Cadillac promised that there will be either a “V” series, or a Platinum Edition available to every Cadillac across the board except the SUV line. If the Platinum Edition of this particular car is anything to go buy, Cadillac is on track to tackle the European and Asian makes in offering class leading technology, with traditional richness that you expect in this sector.

it is the belief of this writer that such is Cadillac's future, to the dismay of the hybrid crowd.
we can only hope the the bean counters and political correctness crowd doesnt get their way and kill the idea.
