This needs to be sold in the US. I'd much rather have this car than a DTS. The new interior looks great too, and I love the divided back seat.

looks like it's slightly larger than an STS? other than that, there's not much difference between the two exterior-wise.

It is stretched 100mm (4 in.) for more back seat room. Plus it has many other upgrades like the interior over the US STS

I like it. A lot more visually stimulating than the DTS. That mostly is because it is just a longer STS though.

Its for China, that is why the 210HP 2.8L is offered. You can still get the 320HP Northstar. If your chauffeur driven why would you want 469HP and worse gas mileage.?

Quick question I thought about.

With the STS "facelift" scheduled right around the corner, can we expect the interior to look something like this? Minus the rear center console obviously.

I think they really got the interior right on this thing, like how the brushed look around the middle vents is carried through to the shifter surround. Very nice. Makes it seem like the dash is all together and flowing, unlike the square box on top of a black dash feel you get with the CTS-V.
