Oh hey, sorry to interrupt your caddy lovefest but did any of you notice the tall fella in the background checking out the cadillac with the booth girl. Yeah that's just one adrian van hooydunk, he's a nobody, only the HEAD OF BMW DESIGN!!! #Artofwar #keepyourenemiesclose
i hate how the traditionalist cadillac people are against these changes. its time to put the "old grampa car" image to bed and bring in the new styles.
This is not the true flagship in Cadillac. There have been whispers of a RWD Cadillac bigger than the XTS to arrive in 2014. The XTS is currently FWD, due to it's shared architecture with the Buick Lacrosse, but there will be available AWD and possibly an AWD V Series model if we get lucky. Cadillac and the rest of GM has really hit their stride in terms of design.
I love how every luxury car maker builds what they call a 3 series competitor. BMW is still the standard by which all other cars are compared. They all try to be better than BMW, some have succeeded, most have failed.
its a Beautiful Car they Say Again and Again that They will be making it along with an ELR Now and an ATS. What the hell are trolls problems, go troll Somewhere else for Christ sake. Cadillac is on a War path and if I were rich, Id own two, Unfortunately, my life sucks ass :) Yay for America being shitty!
i`m getting increasingly the impression that most trolls are somehow paid by the chinese to create accounts and go bashing anything they possibly could,... there are a lot of strange accounts that don't seem to be for real.
the xts (if it`s named that way once it hits market) is not truly going to be cadillac`s flagship model, it is going to replace the dts &sts slotted above the cts, with a true large (yes even larger than the already fairly big xts) flagship (rumored to be rwd) is expected to be introduced around 2013-2014. in oder to be worldclass luxury cadillac has been on the right path but def. needs something in the 80-100k price range to fight s-lass, bmw 7 series, audi a8 and even bentley and rolls royce
@brut2011 if it was as horrific as you say it is looks wise .. they wouldnt be making an ENTIRE family of cars like those .. they are desperate for success so they are making what sells.. and that my FRIEND is gorgeous to me .. beuty is in the eye of the beholder dont forget that.. also its NOT only LOOKS whether in UR opinion its bad or Great its PRICE for QUALITY.. thats whats driving them atm .. check out its competition prices.. FOR what you actually get
@brut2011 what are you talking about!? the XTS (though likely bearing at different name) is going into production in late 2011 as 2012 model! don't know where you got your information from but the xts is certainly not nor has it ever been canceled my friend. greetings from germany.
@brut2011 then name your source, as far as you saying "trust me goes" how could i take you even slighly seriously if you resort to name calling ? no need to be offensive, you can call me names all you want but still that doesn't change the facts that the xts is NOT cancelled and as a matter of fact will start production in the 4th quarter of 2011 as 2012 model! look it up, there are various trusted automotive news outlets that have all confirmed it !
It's about time they got rid of the DTS! I made the mistake of buying one, wow was I ever wrong, Biggest waste of money I ever spent. Maybe this one will be RWD with a better engine and more power. This XTS is so much more exciting too.
My only question is... will the V8 be offered as an option, or will GM fold to the unions/greenie-left and push the ecofreak agenda by removing consumer choice and impose only a V6? We will see if this is a real competitor to Jaguar XJ, Mercedes S-class, BMW 7 serie, Audi A8 & Lexus LS.
In my opinion, the best looking Cadillac cars came out before the year 1996. The modern Cadillac styles does nothing for me as far as looks, the Cadillac car had it's own unique style back in the day that set its self apart from any other car on the market. I don't what the plan is for Cadillac but to me it seems like they are trying to make certain models look like a sports car. But I own a Cadillac Deville 1995 and I love it!
@coolkies they probably feel they have to appeal to a new demographic or how ever you call it cuz you cant rely on the older folks to stay alive for ever lol.. i think they wanna make a car that when you are young you aspire to get when you get older.. in this modern era i think its the right choice cuz brand name quality and immage is almost everything
cadillac needs an entry even below the cts (coming in the ats) then a full size SUV (escalade) then the mid of the range cts (they already got it right with that one) and then ultimately the full size flagship sedan plus a coupe/convertible version of it. no more than that, maybe once in a while if sales pick up bring a new sporty niché model to market much like the xlr again (not sharing underpinnings with anything less than say the new corvette c7) that will do for caddy regaining their spot.
from what i`ve heard just very recently the "xts" (if it`s gonna be named like that once in production) isn't even considered flagship among the GM/cadillac ranks, it is going to serve as a car to fill a gap with the outgoing dts&sts, the true flagship will come out later, speculated to be around the 2015 mark.
They don't need to go all Hybrid in the flagship. Just put in a smooth powerful V8 pushing 400+HP. Hybrids are well intentioned but keep them at the compact car level. Being longer than an Escalade this might look epic going down the road.
I'm hoping for the standard V6 To get highway gas millage in the mid-high 20s, the hybrid V6 to get 35 MPG, and the V8 to get gas millage in the low 20's. Also hoping for about 320 hp in the V6, and 440 in the V8.
The powertrains should include a few V6's, a Hybrid, and almost for sure, a small block V8. Love to see a new flagship for Cadillac, beautifull car. It should become a true competitor to the BMW 7 series. I hope they have the 3.6 liter V6 standard, then a hybrid trim, and finally a 6.2 liter small block option
The Xts is still at least away is n't it ? According to claims of major Auto critics? Which would make it shameful of Both and dated ? For GM and Cadillac if it were to arrive later than 2013?
What a TURD. I am sure that it will be slower, heavier and less fuel effecient then its competitors when it is launched after 3 years of delays. E A T M Y S H I T > > > :-)
@sfsTrader yes this is supposed to (if it goes into product) in 2012. I heard they were trying to make a big sedan car the goes for there more younger demographic that GM is trying with cadillac instead of older drivers that mostly buy cadillacs today. there building it from scratch and nothing from the dts or sts. as you said the cts feels cramp this is cadillac trying to make a big plush car again
@popeye1250 lol the cts is suppose to be more sporty where as this is going to be pure luxery..... in other words i think this car will be right up your ally ;)
@VolGreg Greg, well I hope so, that CTS wasn't a pleasant ride at all! You could hear the road noise and feel the tires bumping on the pavement! I guess it's just not a car for us older guys. I like a car that's almost silent when I roll up the windows and with a nice smooth ride.
And for fun I drive by where the gang bangers hang out on the corner with Frank Sinatra blasting as I flip them the bird so I need a reliable and fast car!
Right now I drive a Lincoln MKS and it really gets going!
@popeye1250 I drive a LIncoln MKS as well..... Lincoln is seriously gonna need to upgrade the interior in a big way to compete with this vehicle if it hits market
Man this si a beutifule car from Cadillac. Take out the letter name and call this a Deville. Put a nice V8 under the hood and make it AWD and Cadillac has some thing.
Cadillac needs to keep a V8 engine in its flagship model. Hopefully, the Northstar will be gone in 2012. The last good Cadillac V8 was the 4.9 Liter of the early to mid 1990s.
Cadillac has had plenty of time to design a Flag Ship sedan worthy to go up against its potential rivals but after all this time this is what they come up with?? Its just a longer CTS sedan they might well call it the CTS-L sedan, its nothing amazing eyes catching, unless this has a reasonable MSRP price I dont see why Mercedes, Lexus, BMW or Audi would have to worry. I mean cadillac could have at least put a little more effort in designing something more unique, this sedan is boring.
It has been rumored that the XTS will replace the DTS but by no means should GM make the mistake of killing off the DTS nameplate as it is the only thing left of Cadillac's longest production marque the DeVille and one of the few remaining ties to their heritage.The DeVille (DTS) should be updated to true Art + Science stature (no longer a car for pensioners) and turned into an apt competitor for the A8, 7 Series, S Class and Lexus LS. The DeVille name is American legend and deserves to live on!
@zekenc i think it will because ppl who could afford this wouldn'y giv two shits about gas prices, and i hope that it has night vision, and other goodies if it wants to compete with the bmw 7 series, the s-class, or the a8. The interior is simply gorgeous but there gonna need better selling points than that
@Sherwin930 i agree with you completely,this has the potential to be a major steping stone for cadillac....if they market it right,only time will tell!!
An XTS-V needs to be at least 600+horsepower, a 200+ mph vehicle to fully achieve the "standard of the world" slogan again. It needs to assert itself as the king of 4 door automobiles. The rear seats of the XTS need more buttons and detail and additional features.
"""""THIS CAR NEEDS TO HAVE AT LEAST 450 HORSEPOWER TO COMPETE WITH AUDI, BENZ, BMW, JAGUAR, AND PORSCHE..... OH YEAH AND PRECISE HANDLING; AND SUPERB FIT AND FINISH AND "RELIABILITY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ubrenthusiast if it's so poorly built why do you think the XTS will last longer than the S class? S class is so outdated like for real dude, slap yourself for that lmfao! :D
A Cadillac can only be driven in the US. It simply doesn't have the social status as an S-class, 7 series or A8. It may be just as good, but Europe will never take it seriously. That is mostly a result of the stereotypical Cadillac driver: Old ladies in Florida or gansta' stabbists from the hood. It may not be true, but that is how the rest of the world views Cadillac and it will likely never change.
That's no sex on 4-wheels that's a certified cargasm! I should start saving my pennies now for when it comes out with it's whopping $90K price tag, I won't be taken by surprise.
This will not be Cadillac's true flagship. They are also developing a larger, RWD/AWD, S-class competitor that will be much more luxurious than the XTS. The XTS is just a stopgap, that will later serve as the less sporty- cruiser type sedan for Cadillac. Essentially this replaces the DTS, while Cadillac developes a true STS replacement.
@noodleninjaa Well have you seen any recent Mercedes cars? They take after Cadillac's Art & Science with their slightly less edgy designs. Look at the GLK or E class and tell me that's not as edgy as this. Even Acura has been copying Cadillac's edgy design language, only Acura does it all wrong and all Acuras look terrible.
Cadillac pioneered this design language, and it's becoming more and more evident in the luxury market. Your Euro bias won't let you see that Germany actually has competition
I can't wait to fucking see the future XTS-V series with the updated motor. Probably will pump out 600+ horses - and there will be an ATS-V and many more V's that will just get engine upgrades as time goes on
Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out what the song is in the new cadillac commercial. It is some sort of remix of Yacht - Psychic city. Can someone please help me!?!? It is not one of the phoenix commercials. This is a brand new one.
Government motors paid off their debt so its back to general motors. in order for caddy to get full respect around the globe is to make engines other than v8s. v8s are too common and nice though but xts has to standout i hope they do bring out the 7.5 v12 but that 13.8 v16 would have made cadillac the worlds most powerful name again.
General Motors don't compromise on the Cadillac XTS model or you will be looked down upon again for @#$%&*^ !+ >!>^; and asked why did you canceled the cadillac converj hybrid concept for the same reason
@Greendude33 not a chance. the Cien is dead. it's too unsophisticated, too powerful and too hard on fuel, and it's forgotten. just want to ask, where did you find this info?
@stopscrewingaround11 The cien was a technology demonstration by Cadillac douche bag no one has said a thing about it being in production.
The XTSV is slated to use a varitaion of the Northstar XV12 which utilized cylinder deactivation technology, in normal driving conditions it only uses 6 cylinders.
A high luxury caddy comprable in quality to any euro car for thousands less.
*CTS winner of JD Power and Associates for intial quality over BMW, Merc, Jaguar, Audi etc...
@Greendude33 XTS is a concept car with no official engine line up or production date as of yet. When it does get built do expect: AWD with a transverse mounted engine on a heavily refined and stretched version of GM's Epsilon II platform . V-12 won't fit Epsilon II. Cadillac's experimental V-12 was designed to fit RWD platforms, and was considered for the Escalade and Cadillac's stillborn RWD XLS Zeta platform flagship.
The V-12 was shelved in 2008, as GM didn't have money to build it.
@NY3UVL714 2008 GM is much different from 2010 GM and will be even more different than the GM that lauches this. GM is back and is turing profits again. According to GM's officials they were looking at a variant of the Northstar XV12 for the extra exclusive XTS-V.
That means it will not be a carbon copy of the XV12 found in the Cien Concept ( a car they should have produced).
@Greendude33 Read the previous post again and THINK about what it says.
Cadillac has TWO large car platforms in the works. AWD Epsilon II platform (LaCrosse, 9-5, Alpheon) and the RWD Zeta platform (Park Avenue, Caprice, Veritas). A V-12 could fit a ZETA platformed Cadillac if GM builds one.
XTS is based on the EPSILON II platform. It has a tranverse mount engine compartment and a front transaxle with no room for a V-12. The XTS, V-Series or otherwise will never have a V-12.
the only german car i like is audi a6 (the a8, S and 7 are too high profile and costly for me for daily use); the 5 and E are too small with not enough interior room for me
only problem i had with A6 is that it burns engine oil sometimes, very annoying
Im no Fan boy say that all you want i own a 2003 M3 so its not like I hate foreign cars.
Im just saying that Caddilac is just as Prestigous as any car you wanna mention. They indroduced many new innovations to the automotive industry and were even dubbed the " The Standard of the World" all the Europeans were following its footsteps in technology and engineering. It was a car driven by royalty and the hyper rich.
Im no fan boy I just do reaserch before I open my mouth.
Your facts are irrelevant. I like Cadillacs so I don't need know about their past days of glory. You derailed my initial responses which had nothing to do with anything else but the car in this video. Cadillac's falling out goes back farther than a few years. As far as your comment about Cadillac matching everything else from Europe, it has NOT matched BMW's driving feel. I am surprised you would miss that being that you supposedly have an M3. My facts are experience, not internet or mags.
Please explain your guarantee. Is it simply because I post on youtube that I must not be able to drive such vehicles? Is it because I am disagreeing with you? I suppose you don't think I have a license either or even know what cars are. Am I even alive? With the problems and maintenance cost your e46 has, why haven't you replaced it with a V? The fact that my talk of options pissed you off so much as to start this debate is the real laugh.
Euro luxury cars used to boast quality, performance and luxury. Now they can't say that because the the CTS can match them and the V version can match their performance versions.
GM has really took some time creating the new cadillac's to restore its image of high quality that its was born on.
So if you want to pay thousands more just for a badge on your hood then go ahead. Because that's all you'd be able to claim your car has compared to a Cadillac.
@212kingz Let's see how many people buy this trash over an S-Class. I highly believe this is the next VW Phaeton story, (but more cheaper and poorly built): Targeting the S-Class, but ultimately failing and returning to a point of obscurity, which is what I hope ( and know) will happen to this car if Cadillac trie to compete with the S-Class. =)
rear overhang looks a bit odd from the side has to come a lil' more in for my taste as well as the front overhang should be streched out a bit more to give the car a longer hood similiar to the shape of the 2003 sixteen design,
It puts nothing to shame interior wise compared to the S/7. Maybe off the dealer lot, but I'm positive this won't have NEAR the options list of interior appointments vs those two. If you are speaking on design/layout, that's just preference. Cadillac can't get cocky just yet.
@Shift4g options you kidding right. not only has the caddy always had more options than the bmw or merc. hell my sis n law just bought a merc fully loaded and regrets the hell out of it. my CHEVY ltz pickup has more options than that
You are a fan of American cars, and that's fine, but make sure you get your facts right. If you order a 7 or an S-class, the things you can do far outclass any other luxury car in the same class. That is the case now, and it has been for many years. Why do you think some S-class mercs can be optioned up to 160k when they start around 80k? Surface knowledge about these cars isn't sufficient for argument. This car will not best the benchmarks just because you don't like them.
You do realize why Cadillac even decided to make a V division? All I'm saying is respect where its due. I'm an automotive enthusiast (who has driven both gens of CTS-V), not a certain country/brand enthusiast. The CTS-V does not best the 7 or S in options, It bests the M5/E63 in performance.
The CTSV is faster than the M5, XFR, E63 AMG, Panamara, S6 etc.
The Caddilac now matches them is quality there's no denying that, and It can easily run with them on any track and it gets better MPG's then all of them look that up.
The only reason you pay more for those euro cars is for the badge and if you wanna pay more for a badge,less warranty and less features then go ahead they'd be glad to rip you of your money.
Where did I say the V was lacking in performance? How about this...Cadillac is the best manufacturer there ever was and will be? That seems to be the only talk that fans will tolerate. I suggest you drive most of the cars you are comparing instead of badge bashing.
I never sair Caddilac was the best, but for the most part of their existence they have been right up there alongside all the other luxury brands. They were always as high class as any euro brand you wanna mention, they were infact some of the first to use v12 engines and were the very first to indrduce 16 cylinder engines.
Just because they had a falling out a few years back is no excuse to instantly call these ones bad its just ignorant.
I dont bash any nthe competition thats why you dont see me on the competition videos talking down... your opionions are irrelevant here. its like talking to closed ears why are you talking?
@Shift4g you don't know if the XTS can beat the S or 7. you have no clue. so i think you should probably shut up for awhile and just wait and see. you can't judge a car by it's concept. the XTS may blow the germans out of the water! maybe it'll fail. we don't know.
Oh hey, sorry to interrupt your caddy lovefest but did any of you notice the tall fella in the background checking out the cadillac with the booth girl. Yeah that's just one adrian van hooydunk, he's a nobody, only the HEAD OF BMW DESIGN!!! #Artofwar #keepyourenemiesclose

@sfsTrader yes this is supposed to (if it goes into product) in 2012. I heard they were trying to make a big sedan car the goes for there more younger demographic that GM is trying with cadillac instead of older drivers that mostly buy cadillacs today. there building it from scratch and nothing from the dts or sts. as you said the cts feels cramp this is cadillac trying to make a big plush car again

And for fun I drive by where the gang bangers hang out on the corner with Frank Sinatra blasting as I flip them the bird so I need a reliable and fast car!

Cadillac needs to keep a V8 engine in its flagship model. Hopefully, the Northstar will be gone in 2012. The last good Cadillac V8 was the 4.9 Liter of the early to mid 1990s.

Cadillac has had plenty of time to design a Flag Ship sedan worthy to go up against its potential rivals but after all this time this is what they come up with?? Its just a longer CTS sedan they might well call it the CTS-L sedan, its nothing amazing eyes catching, unless this has a reasonable MSRP price I dont see why Mercedes, Lexus, BMW or Audi would have to worry. I mean cadillac could have at least put a little more effort in designing something more unique, this sedan is boring.
Johncarson9113 1 year ago
It has been rumored that the XTS will replace the DTS but by no means should GM make the mistake of killing off the DTS nameplate as it is the only thing left of Cadillac's longest production marque the DeVille and one of the few remaining ties to their heritage.The DeVille (DTS) should be updated to true Art + Science stature (no longer a car for pensioners) and turned into an apt competitor for the A8, 7 Series, S Class and Lexus LS. The DeVille name is American legend and deserves to live on!
TheArithmetic 1 year ago
@TheArithmetic Not a rumor at all, both DTS and STS are going away after 2011.
Unfortunately, GM let DTS fall down prestige and pricewise to where a larger
Buick should be. The current STS is a nice but very poor selling misfit car stuck between the international sized CTS and full sized DTS.

An XTS-V needs to be at least 600+horsepower, a 200+ mph vehicle to fully achieve the "standard of the world" slogan again. It needs to assert itself as the king of 4 door automobiles. The rear seats of the XTS need more buttons and detail and additional features.

A Cadillac can only be driven in the US. It simply doesn't have the social status as an S-class, 7 series or A8. It may be just as good, but Europe will never take it seriously. That is mostly a result of the stereotypical Cadillac driver: Old ladies in Florida or gansta' stabbists from the hood. It may not be true, but that is how the rest of the world views Cadillac and it will likely never change.

This will not be Cadillac's true flagship. They are also developing a larger, RWD/AWD, S-class competitor that will be much more luxurious than the XTS. The XTS is just a stopgap, that will later serve as the less sporty- cruiser type sedan for Cadillac. Essentially this replaces the DTS, while Cadillac developes a true STS replacement.

Cadillac pioneered this design language, and it's becoming more and more evident in the luxury market. Your Euro bias won't let you see that Germany actually has competition

Government motors paid off their debt so its back to general motors. in order for caddy to get full respect around the globe is to make engines other than v8s. v8s are too common and nice though but xts has to standout i hope they do bring out the 7.5 v12 but that 13.8 v16 would have made cadillac the worlds most powerful name again.

Caddilac was thinking of putting the aluminum 7.5 liter V12 from the Cien concpet to power the XTS-V.
It will still boast posh luxury but it will have a beautiful 7.5 liter V12 they might detune it from the Cien's 750hp though.
The XTS is set to be the Flagship Caddy, its set to take down Bently's Continental

@stopscrewingaround11 The cien was a technology demonstration by Cadillac douche bag no one has said a thing about it being in production.
The XTSV is slated to use a varitaion of the Northstar XV12 which utilized cylinder deactivation technology, in normal driving conditions it only uses 6 cylinders.
A high luxury caddy comprable in quality to any euro car for thousands less.
*CTS winner of JD Power and Associates for intial quality over BMW, Merc, Jaguar, Audi etc...
Greendude33 1 year ago
@Greendude33 XTS is a concept car with no official engine line up or production date as of yet. When it does get built do expect: AWD with a transverse mounted engine on a heavily refined and stretched version of GM's Epsilon II platform . V-12 won't fit Epsilon II. Cadillac's experimental V-12 was designed to fit RWD platforms, and was considered for the Escalade and Cadillac's stillborn RWD XLS Zeta platform flagship.
The V-12 was shelved in 2008, as GM didn't have money to build it.
NY3UVL714 1 year ago
@NY3UVL714 2008 GM is much different from 2010 GM and will be even more different than the GM that lauches this. GM is back and is turing profits again. According to GM's officials they were looking at a variant of the Northstar XV12 for the extra exclusive XTS-V.
That means it will not be a carbon copy of the XV12 found in the Cien Concept ( a car they should have produced).
Greendude33 1 year ago
@Greendude33 Read the previous post again and THINK about what it says.
Cadillac has TWO large car platforms in the works. AWD Epsilon II platform (LaCrosse, 9-5, Alpheon) and the RWD Zeta platform (Park Avenue, Caprice, Veritas). A V-12 could fit a ZETA platformed Cadillac if GM builds one.
XTS is based on the EPSILON II platform. It has a tranverse mount engine compartment and a front transaxle with no room for a V-12. The XTS, V-Series or otherwise will never have a V-12.

Euro luxury cars used to boast quality, performance and luxury. Now they can't say that because the the CTS can match them and the V version can match their performance versions.
GM has really took some time creating the new cadillac's to restore its image of high quality that its was born on.
So if you want to pay thousands more just for a badge on your hood then go ahead. Because that's all you'd be able to claim your car has compared to a Cadillac.

It puts nothing to shame interior wise compared to the S/7. Maybe off the dealer lot, but I'm positive this won't have NEAR the options list of interior appointments vs those two. If you are speaking on design/layout, that's just preference. Cadillac can't get cocky just yet.

You are a fan of American cars, and that's fine, but make sure you get your facts right. If you order a 7 or an S-class, the things you can do far outclass any other luxury car in the same class. That is the case now, and it has been for many years. Why do you think some S-class mercs can be optioned up to 160k when they start around 80k? Surface knowledge about these cars isn't sufficient for argument. This car will not best the benchmarks just because you don't like them.

You do realize why Cadillac even decided to make a V division? All I'm saying is respect where its due. I'm an automotive enthusiast (who has driven both gens of CTS-V), not a certain country/brand enthusiast. The CTS-V does not best the 7 or S in options, It bests the M5/E63 in performance.

What planet are you on?
The CTSV is faster than the M5, XFR, E63 AMG, Panamara, S6 etc.
The Caddilac now matches them is quality there's no denying that, and It can easily run with them on any track and it gets better MPG's then all of them look that up.
The only reason you pay more for those euro cars is for the badge and if you wanna pay more for a badge,less warranty and less features then go ahead they'd be glad to rip you of your money.

I never sair Caddilac was the best, but for the most part of their existence they have been right up there alongside all the other luxury brands. They were always as high class as any euro brand you wanna mention, they were infact some of the first to use v12 engines and were the very first to indrduce 16 cylinder engines.
Just because they had a falling out a few years back is no excuse to instantly call these ones bad its just ignorant.
