Re: Xts

I sort of wish the wheelbase had been lengthened. The rear overhang looks a bit excessive. An attractive car overall, but that nags at me just a bit.

Not sure how I feel about the interior yet, particularly the vents above the center stack. It looks a little "busy" to me. Not ugly or bad, and I'm sure it will have nice, fondle-friendly materials.

Look forward to seeing some real pics. I can't stand looking at renderings in place of real pics! That will probably make the interior look even better to me.

EDIT: DTS was 207.6 inches long on a 115.6 inch wheelbase with 18.8 cu ft in the trunk. XTS is 202 L on 111 wb with 18 cu ft. I find it interesting that Autoblog calls the car "one big sedan" with a "cavernous" trunk. Then they compare some of the interior dimensions to the BMW 5 and Audi A6, which are not their full size offerings. I hope it hasn't lost interior space compared to the DTS, even if Caddy is working longer term on a big rear drive flagship.
