- Dead man walking, make way! Dead man walking! Actually, in the case of the 2013 Cadillac XTS sedan, it’s more like dead car, er, rolling. That’s because the XTS—which shares its bones with lesser GM sedans like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Impala—is expected to live for just a single generation....

- As confusing as most alphanumeric car names have gotten in recent years, at least one constant has been that the letter "X" is generally indicative of a crossover. Then why did General Motors use this letter on its new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan? Well, for that, we'll have to look to the world of mathematics where "X" stands for an unknown variable or a placeholder. Now we're talking. The XTS is just an interim product sitting at the top of Cadillac's four-door food chain until the brand...

- We’ve taken a fair number of potshots at the General lately, but some times the company and its ad agencies get it right. Watch this and tell me you don’t kind of want a DTS at the end of it…. The truly great thing about this ad, and it almost never happens in Cadillac advertising [...]

- Forget both the snoozer STS and the phlegmatic DTS, as the XTS sits atop the Cadillac lineup as the brand’s new flagship. (Well, at least until the Mercedes S-class-targeting, über-luxury rear-drive sedan based on the upcoming Omega platform arrives a few years down the road.) Sporting the latest in...

- While Cadillac awaits a return to the "standard of the world" status now claimed by the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series, it has introduced a new full-size luxury sedan for the 2013 model year, the Cadillac XTS. The XTS is a front- or all-wheel-drive sedan, intended as a replacement for the former DTS four-door. Derived from...

- Cadillac has kicked off yet another product renaissance as they try to get back on track after a few disappointing products over the last few years. Forgotten in the numerous high-profile launches is a car that has pretty much flown under the radar, dismissed due to its rather humble underpinnings. That car is the XTS. Sharing a basic chassis with Buicks LaCrosse and Chevrolets upcoming Impala, the XTS was pegged to be a replacement for the Bocca Raton Car of the Year, The Cadillac...

- Cadillac claims the 2013 XTS is not a replacement for the DTS or STS and is not a flagship. The 2013 Cadillac XTS is, however, a surprisingly good front-drive-based sedan, and a full-size sedan with striking styling. Even if the XTS isn’t officially a replacement for the DTS or STS, we decided to see how [...]

- The XTS is Cadillac's new top-level sedan, replacing the bigger DTS and more similarly sized STS. If you haven't driven a Cadillac in 15 or 20 years, you may be surprised at how well they handle.
August 23, 2012
- The all-new 2013 Cadillac XTS is a full-size sedan with a roomy interior. The XTS replaces Cadillac's DTS and STS, and much to some Cadillac fans' chagrin, the XTS has front- or all-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive. For the...
