By Design: Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept
Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept - Car Design Analysis - Automobile Magazine
Are they there yet?

Cadillac's 110-year trek from its initial existence as the Detroit Automobile Company has been a long, hard trip. From rising to be the "Standard of the World" it fell to the depths in the Cimarron era and is again on the way up, attaining, if not yet the pinnacle of the motor industry, at least genuine respectability. The XTS Platinum concept shown in January closely foreshadows a promising new addition to the range that will replace both the front-wheel-drive DTS and the rear-wheel-drive STS. It benefits from an exquisite interior equal to any luxury car's but suffers a major weakness: the pug-nose, front-wheel-drive look imposed by the transverse-engine platform.inline_mediumwraptextright26875931/features/by_design/1004_cadillac_xts_platinum_concept_design_analysis1004_01_z+cadillac_xTS_platinum_concept+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
