Replying to: sls002 (Sep 17, 2007 6:57 am) S-class consumers are also needing a car that has an elan or panache. It must be very exclusive. Cadillac has not had any offerings to meet that characterization. Has it ever had?

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 18, 2007 8:31 am) A point to consider: since Cadillac has been marketing the CTS as an entry level (3-series) car, moving it upmarket needs to be done with the 2008 model on the basis that it is all new. Of course this brings up the problem of where does the STS fit then. Sure it can be put up against the 7-series, but it has not done well in comparison tests with the E-class or 5-series. I will say this, if a CTS wagon were going to be available for the 2008 model year (it won't), I would most likely have waited for it.

I think I just saw the new CTS in Burn Notice. Not bad looking and pretty good product placement it wasn't that blatant.

| I have noticed new CTS advertising inserts in some car magazines, kind of made to look like an article. I can't say I care for this form of advertising. | |

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Sep 18, 2007 5:09 pm) I don't know just what Cadillac is thinking for the next generation STS or DTS. If Cadillac plans to play in the 5-series sports sedan market, then the smaller end of the DTS/STS model will need to be this type of sedan. The larger end of the combined model can be a deVille replacement. An even larger model might be a higher end model like the old Fleetwood sixty special was.
