Overall Cadillac sales are down due to the in-progress line swap from DTS and STS to XTS which arrives this summer. Cadillac continues to cut fleet sales; Cadillac retail sales were up 2 percent on the strength of an 18 percent gain by the CTS and continued strong retail sales of the SRX and Escalade.
