I'm going to have to see these cars and know some specs before I can say yay or nay on them. As far as the XTS goes, it doesn't need to be RWD to be a flagship model for Cadillac but it needs to be near perfect otherwise if it wants to compete with the Germans. It would be easier to accept a FWD Buick flagship since Buicks compete more directly with the Japanesse than Cadillac does.

Kind of got off topic there...

Again, I can't help but say I'm VERY excited for 2010 NAIAS!!!
Isn't Zeta derived from Sigma?
