| Cadillac XTS Platinum concept A Cadillac plug-in concept, the XTS Platinum is expected to influence the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. The concept is chock-full of technology, such as touch screens on the instrument panel and rear-seat entertainment connections. Cadillac plans to replace its DTS and STS sedans with the XTS -- if the name is kept -- by the 2012 model year. The new flagship will share a vehicle platform with the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. The XTS Platinum is about 6 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the LaCrosse. Vehicle type: 4-door sedan Engine: Plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 3.6-liter, V-6 direct-injection engine What's cool: This all-wheel-drive sedan previews Cadillac's upcoming car that will replace the STS and DTS. GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz says a hybrid version will be available. Will it be built? Yes, sources say. Cadillac plans to use almost all of this sedan's design cues for the production car due by the 2012 model year. |
