Impressed by Cadillac XTS

It looks like Cadillac is making a comeback. I have never liked Cadillacs before, but the new (post 2008) CTS was pretty good, and now the XTS looks like a real contender for luxury segment. I have really started to like the styling as well since the recent BMWs and mercedes cars look very plain and generic.

The thing is, I agree with you. Too bad it is made by government motors, I will never buy a gm at this point- a ford, I have no problem with

Not a fan of the speedo, but the rest of the car is impressive.

I like it, how close to production is this? As long as the quality is alright and the plastic does not feel cheap, I am all for it.

Ehhhh. It's like they're trying to mimic BMW, Audi and Mercedes but end up just a teeny tiny bit worse at every single thing and offer absolutely zilch that is better. (This is usually where some fanboi chimes in and starts yapping about straight line speed that engine, which was invented in the 1940s, can make)

.... Which is why they will sell exactly zero of those outside of North America.

Actually that car doesn't have the old pushrod motor I don't believe...the STS doesn't

I hate that interior. Kills it for me. Too bad, I love the lines of the exterior and the old STS / STS-V had a nice sporty / luxury balance.

love the way those tv's come up out of the seat, but besides that nothing about it really stands out to me.
