Its built by GM to USSS specs. Its a medium duty truck built like a tank, wrapped in caddy skin.

I think the DTS is a great car to base it off of, fits the limo chassis better IMO. And besides, the grille is similair to the CTS's anyways, and the CTS looks good as a smaller car only I think.

It's actually built off GM's medium-duty truck platform...aka a stretched DTS on a GMC TopKick platform.

You could call it a low-rider crossover for the POTUS.
