2013 Cadillac XTS
The 2013 Cadillac XTS is one of four new vehicles that GM promised to build there. The others are a 2011 Buick Regal midsize sedan, a North American version of the recently launched China-market model; a redesigned Chevrolet Impala midsize sedan, slated to start production in early 2013; and a hybrid vehicle of some kind, perhaps based on one of the above. Oshawa is also the sole source for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and is racing to keep up with early-days demand for that reborn "ponycar." "The Cadillac XTS is being designed to compete and win against the finest luxury cars," GM said in a prepared statement. "It takes a new, modern approach to the large luxury sedan, combining high-tech electronics and engaging driving dynamics in a car that is also elegant and spacious," the company added.
More of what has been speculated so far is that the future XTS will offer both front-wheel and all-wheel drive power train options. One thing that we can assume pretty much correctly here is that this car will boast a V6 instead of a V8, as the latter is considered not so suitable for the architecture. We are quite sure about the engine, unless Cady once again tries to surprise us with its revolutionary innovations. The front fixies are on the trailing side of the wheel allowing for a front-mounted steering rack (for better feel -- if you're fighting a 3-series, this is critical) while the rear brakes are leading. And excluding a few oddities, a rear-mounted steering rack (as we surely have here) means front or all wheel drive means XTS. 2013 Cadillac XTS Release Date 2013 Cadillac XTS is expected to make its appearance in the showrooms by early 2012.. |
