No... we just got off on the wrong foot. I still like the SS more than U do.. and recognize the reason for it's look and place in the Chevy line-up.
I think many, in ref to the XTS, forget that Cadillac is readying a $70-150K Sports sedan to compete with the S-Class to Bentley. The new CTS is the direct competitor to the E-Class.. and the XTS is the repacement for the DTS.. which was a great seller.. and holds those traditional buyers within the Cadillac brand as opposed to ousting them to go look at an LS460.. which has traditionally been the car that ex-Deville buyers went to. The XTS triumphs the LS460.. touches on the A8.
Another factor that people completely negate is Livery duties. As of now.. the only Limo/Hearse one can get in that segment is essentially an ugly Lincoln MKT. I have a strong feeling that Cadillac does not want their CTS being converted to a Hearse.. and what Limo company do U kno will want to buy a $75-150 "LTS" to haul dead people around to the cemetery? The XTS should stay around, even after the "LTS" arrives for various reason.. including that "last ride."
