The XTS won\u2019t be marketed as an ultra-luxury flagship sedan (e.g. BMW 7-Series, Mercedes S-Class). Sales volumes of 7-series and S-class sized cars are very small, in GM\u2019s judgment, declining based on the economy and consumer need for more practical and environmentally-oriented solutions. The XTS will use a Premium Epsilon platform (derivative of the Buick Lacrosse platform). It will feature front-wheel and all-wheel-drive, high-feature V6s, turbocharged V6s and possibly a V8 powertrain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>AutoBird Blog:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/autobirdblog.com\/news\/tell-fritz-henderson-some-highlights-from-general-motors-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\">AutoBird Blog \u00bb Tell Fritz Henderson: Some highlights from General Motors CEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/image.motortrend.com\/f\/10938477\/112_0811_01l+alpha_cadillac+illustration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Alpha Illustration\" src=\"http:\/\/image.motortrend.com\/f\/10938477\/112_0811_01l+alpha_cadillac+illustration.jpg\" alt=\"Alpha = Cadillac ATS Illustration\" width=\"440\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alpha = Cadillac ATS Illustration<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here was a new question I like, about the upcoming smaller-than-a-CTS Cadillac ATS:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When will the BMW 3 Series-size <a href=\"http:\/\/caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/?cat=30\" target=\"_self\">Alpha RWD Cadillac<\/a> come out. I would love to see this happen its a winner. If priced right it will be hard to beat even for a BMW 3 series which is over priced. So I think it should be a go for this car.

While I can not answer exactly for competitive reasons, I can assure you that it is in development right now and that it will be an absolute winner. Thanks for your enthusiasm for Cadillac.
