  • 2018 Cadillac XTS

    The Cadillac XTS has received a round of updates as it prepares to enter its sixth year on the market. Yes, it was back in 2012 that we were first graced with the XTS, and Cadillac has no plans to discontinue the car even though the brand has a much better large sedan in the form of the CT6. The XTS serves two main needs: one is the livery market and the other is being the option for buyers that still think Cadillacs should be big, wafting cruisers as opposed to sharp sport sedans. The updates are the most significant since the XTS’s launch and include revised looks, chassis refinements...

Audi was the first with a V2I system that, in certain cities, can tell you when a red light is about to turn green. Cadillac has now announced that its CTS sedans built from March will have a V2V system installed. By...
