- 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...

- The build-up to the dress-up party that is the SEMA show is in full swing with a boatload of concepts from Ford—both Focus STs and Fusions—and the Chrysler Group already on their way to Vegas. Now it’s Chevrolet’s turn, and the bow-tie brand is sending a handful of Sparks, Sonics, and a...

- 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.

- 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...

- Just two weeks after driving GM’s hot new Astra VXR hatchback I was sitting behind the wheel of a Tangerine Scream colored Ford Focus ST, described by the Blue Oval as its first “global performance car.” Unlike GM’s offering, Ford avoids the three-door concept preferring instead to offer two five-doors: a hatchback and an estate on the grounds that there’s more global appeal for these than a three-door which would, principally, be favored by the UK market. The inclusion of a small wagon in...

- For years, GM's luxury division has fruitlessly chased BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Its 2013 XTS sedan is the brand's first real shot at taking sales away from them. By Doron Levin, contributor FORTUNE -- The tongue-twisting alphanumeric names for Cadillac's vehicle lineup had gotten so baffling that Don Butler, vice president of marketing, borrowed Starbuck's drink sizes to simplify them. Tall, grande, venti. Small, medium, large. ATS, CTS and XTS, Cadillac's newest large sedan. General Motors Co....

- On the verge of reaching dealerships, the 2013 Cadillac XTS has big shoes to fill; the model replaces both the DTS livery vehicle and the sportier STS large sedan, both of which are now defunct. The XTS combines an affordable...

- I've got a string of press previews this week, one of which is the Cadillac XTS, the new top-of-the-range big Caddy that takes the place of both the STS and the DTS -- the latter being the classic old-person's Cadillac....

- GM’s Sigma platform which has spawned a handful of sporty and comfortable rides for Cadillac is starting to grow long in the tooth and will soon be obsolete, especially now that the STS is no longer with us, the SRX has moved to a crossover platform and the next-gen CTS is adopting the lighter and more flexible Alpha platform. It turns out...
