The Cadillac-related announcements keep dropping in as after the release of a teaser photo of the firm's entry-level compact sedan codenamed ATS, GM revealed that we're also going to see a flagship luxury sedan model added to Cadillac's range in the Spring of 2012.
We will come to know that model as the Cadillac XTS and it will replace both the current STS and the DTS, the production of which was terminated this year.
General Motors may not have published a teaser photo of its Cadillac range-topper in the sedan category but the Detroit firm said it will be modeled closely after last year's XTS Platinum concept study adding that the final production model will be revealed in the coming months – obviously either in LA this November or Detroit in January 2012.
The company is highly optimistic for the new XTS claiming it will compete against the best.
"The Cadillac XTS is being designed to compete and win against the finest luxury cars," GM said in a prepared statement. "It takes a new, modern approach to the large luxury sedan, combining high-tech electronics and engaging driving dynamics in a car that is also elegant and spacious," the company added.
The new 2013 Cadillac XTS will be manufactured at the Oshawa Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, with GM saying it will invest $117 million to prepare the facility and at the same time, "create or retain" 400 jobs on the Flex Line

Cadillac needs a new model-topper, and this is pretty elegant. If the interior gets translated into production, Cadillac will have started to break the near-luxury category they are currently in and start being a premium brand again.
Finally, Caddy has a new flagship! Now don't screw it up ;o)
Pity there'll be no Americans with money to buy it by then. Maybe its meant for the Chinese market.
i am not sold on the profile, but love the front and rear ends and lush interior.
I'm pretty sure you guys misspelled Ontario as Ontarion. Also, shouldn't they make it in the US to create more American jobs? We have far more job creation in Canada (no offence) and we already produce the Buick Regal and Chevy Camaro at the Oshawa plant. Besides, if there are any quality gripes everyone will blame us.
I didn't realize that the Regal had moved out of Germany yet. In my neighborhood (Brooklyn) there's new Sonatas all over the place, but I just saw my first new Regal on the road on the interstate near DC. I would much rather have a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Regal myself. Maybe it's the price, maybe it's the old Buick image.
Too pointy inside and out, but the overall shapes are very state of the art. Very short clamshell hood, etc.
See the 3rd Pic in the first row...No ones even looking at it. Guy at the far back is even yawning.
its offense not offence while your taking the time to correct people on spelling errors......
My thoughts exactly. It's just not attractive enough, the front overhangs make it look like a cheap small car with a huge booty. The interior is pleasant but not a feast for the eyes. You need masculine muscularity. Don't screw it up!
put me down for a 1986 cadillac fleetwood brougham with the leather interior. fugettaboutit.
