Cadillac: In With The New, And Let's Keep The Old Stuff Too
Cadillac is showing off this teaser of its XTS concept, previewing the look of its forthcoming “ flagship.” It’s edgy, it’s wedgy… too bad it’s almost certainly another Epsi-II variant in a GM lineup that hardly needs another. And while Cadillac keeps GM’s perpetual tease going, it’s come to our attention that the brand has become the carrier of a now-expired GM legacy, visible after the jump.
Cadillac’s SRX, by virtue of being released just before the Chevrolet Equinox, is the last GM vehicle to bear the now-extinct “Mark of Excellence,” a fact that had escaped us thus far [Hat Tip: Twitter’s Joel Feder]. And as a new 2010 model, those two nasty letters will grace the Caddy CUV for years to come. Sure, some vehicle had to be the last to bear the badge of pre-bankruptcy corporate pride, but how inappropriate is it that GM’s luxury brand is the last one wearing The General’s chiclet?

Can someone clarify for me please... What the difference between the STS and the DTS... besides the FWD / RWD platform. Which then again makes me want to wonder.. why they are so concerned with a 3 series competitor smaller than the C.. when.. why isnt the CTS good enough. Id also like to know.. why the current CTS V looks the same as the first gen sedan, when in fact the CTS is in its 2nd iteration?!
Why do we even care? It's GM, for Pete's sake. Please, someone, stick a fork in it. But, no, there are still people out there who have had their heads up their asses for so long that they don't know anything about the automotive world and will still drift about in their GM barges and end up at a dealership to blindly purchase another one, thinking all the time in the service department is normal.
