The all-new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan, the most technologically advanced production car in the brand’s history, expands and elevates the Cadillac portfolio. It delivers the space, elegance and dramatic presence that are Cadillac signatures, but with entirely new and technically advanced methods tuned for a new generation of luxury customers.

XTS marks the debut of CUE, Cadillac’s breakthrough in-vehicle user experience for control and connectivity. It merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls for information and media control.

Positioned directly above the centerpiece CTS family in Cadillac’s lineup, the XTS is offered in a well-equipped standard model and three optional collections: Luxury, Premium and Platinum. The XTS Platinum represents the highest level of technology and luxury, including a unique front appearance, wheels and interior colors, materials and trim.

Oh you think your so funny.

Cadillac is stealing all the non-badge-snobs.

RE: 2013 Cadillac XTS in New York - McLovin - 06-27-2012 09:37 PM

Which one is this again, large-small-medium?

They all look alike.
Can't tell much difference.

Perhaps if I were to obsess a bit over each one, I might remember. Or at least care.

Just sayinhello

Obvious FWD car is obvious...

The XTS is not the best car for the circumstances. But the Omega Cadillac is coming.

Is that why Cadillac's sales figures are in red ink every month?

Now let's try to get back on topic.

The ability to customize your gauge clusters I think is a great opinion to have.

Furthermore, touch screens are so much easier to work with. I was visiting friends this past weekend in the Twin Cities. They have a MDX and I have to say that having to use a knob to use the nav and other controls is not easy.

I still don't like the front proportions. It's too stubby compared to the rest of the body. The issue with a FWD bias platform.

Still, it takes somebody truly "Special" to not know whether this one is the big or small car.

RE: 2013 Cadillac XTS in New York - jaybird - 06-28-2012 02:33 PM

It looks better in person in terms of the proportions.

RE: 2013 Cadillac XTS in New York - V8. - 06-28-2012 02:41 PM

too much rear overhang
