That sucks, I didn't even know they were getting rid of the Deville.
It's alright, CTS AND STS are the new things now and i'm not complaining.
Wow, a name change lol.........it's the same flippin car.
I need a sig
Deville Touring Sedan = DTS
Catera Touring Sedan = CTS
Seville Touring Sedan = STS
Why the XLR's top-end model wasn't named the XLR-8V is beyond me. :lol:

GM is going to make an XLR-V
We've got a CTS-V and teh STS-V is either out or will be out soon. I've also heard rumors of an XLR-V. Are there plans for a DTS-V?

sad to see the deville go....1949-2005 is a hell of a run for a nameplate
they had a DTS-V in camo at my work about a month ago! that thing looks big and mean, like the 95 impala ss when i first saw it! i think they were doing some power train test on it,because a power train guy had it. lol before that he had a STS V and could not find the filler door button lol. no wonder why they just tell him go drive this
see ya!

My Dad was visiting my sister in Honolulu and stopped at a Cadillac dealer there. One of the salemen told him that there's going to be an Escalade-V. Don't know if it's true or not. Since the Escalades already have a 6 liter engine in them maybe it'll get a supercharger!!
^^It is true. And actually GM is prototyping a OHV V-12. It is the only vehicle in the entire GM lineup that a V-12 will fit.

I got the chance to get into D-Ham and play around with a few DTSs...The pics you
see don't do it justice...up close it does look pretty good. And the inside looks much
better than the Deville now.
I'll miss the Vill' but it had to go sometime..(just like the Cav..)

I never heard about the v12... but this guy in my drafting class worked at the proving grounds and told me they had a v10 in an escalade. But from what Ive read on GMI it seems that the v10 is scraped.
^^^That was true too, but that was also about 2 yrs back too.
This V-12 is being put on the GMT-800 (Escalade) as a test mule for a (possible) Escalade-V which (may) be on the 2007 GMT-900, nothing confirmed yet. Also GM is testing a V-16 OHV (2 Small-blocks put together) for a possible upcoming ULS, Cadillac's $100,000+ Maybach/ Rolls-Royce/ Bently answer. That is if Robert Lutz gives green light.
