And though Cadillac won’t start building these new guys until December 2011, the new model should be pretty impressive. It will be the largest four-door sedan created by Cadillac, with many already referring to it as a “stretched ultra-luxury vehicle”. I think XTS was a better choice for the name, though.

Though not too much has been revealed about this mystery Cadillac, the ranks which it will join have already been announced. The upcoming lineup for Cadillac is looking pretty solid, and the XTS may just be the cherry on top.

Already expected soon at area Cadillac Chicago dealers are the CTS Wagon and SRX Crossover. The CTS Coupe should be arriving sometime next summer, and if the XTS sedan can arrive by 2012, Cadillac will have its perfect mix of ultimate luxury, driving amusement and practical function.

The new XTS model is also predicted to compete directly with brands like Merdeces-Benz (S-Class), Lexus (LS), BMW (7 series) and Audi (A8). It is also predicted, along with the rest of the future Cadillac lineup, to help boost Cadillac’s position within the market, a key for GM’s future success. By replacing the slow-selling DTS, the new XTS will surely help Cadillac sell more and create a stronger customer base.

So whether you  have been waiting years for this news or if this is the first you have heard of the Cadillac XTS, I am sure it comes as a welcome announcement. There will obviously be more information on the new XTS as the release gets closer, and any Cadillac dealer in Chicago will have more information as time goes on as well. But for now, just relax and know that Cadillac has got it under control moving forward.
