By the way, note that this is NOT the true Cadillac flagship...this is simply something to replace the STS/DTS. The Omega Cadillac is on the way...

And the Omega is said to resemble something like this:

HMMN i dont see too much art and science design in the xts it looks middle of the road for caddy. But i bet the interior is gonna be awesome.

It's an STS/DTS replacement. It's not supposed to be a rip-your-face-off CTS-V.

That being said, the amount of technology and luxury built into this car blows the rest of the Cadillac lineup out of the water.

I'd love for cadillac to make some up-market cars that are Mercedes S-Class-like... Then sell it for 10k less, which shouldn't be hard seeing as the S-Class is like 90k.... We need to build cars here for the ultra-rich too, don't let All the Euro-brands do it... I mean seriously, think for a second, besides the ZR1, what cars do we (the Big 3) sell that are near the 100k price mark?

Make people all around the world want to strive to get a top of the line Cadillac one day, not just some Euro brand like Porsche or BMW...

I like most of the pictures of the XTS I've seen so far.
I would like to change those wheels and tires.
They look like 20s with a 40 or 45 sidewall.
In a luxury car of that size, I would not want to feel every crack in the road.
Give me a 18" wheel and a 55 or 60 sidewall so you have a little softer ride.

That front facia needs to be downsized to match the rest of the car.

Even the CTS wasn't "all" that, the "V" with it's slammed ride and bulged hood really brought out what was good, the coupe looks good in a different way. They are not the best looking cars on the road, but they are not bad. This XTS seems to indicate that GM thinks the CTS DOES look like the best car on the road, and the cadillac facia is simply HUGE, way to big for the rest of the car. I think it's because the rest of the body is an identity crisis, hard to identify as something unique and interesting.
