Possibly dumb idea...since it seems there remains a substantial market for "luxobarges", like the Town Car that resides on a platform that I think is 30 plus years old, could Cadillac take either the platform for the DTS or STS, and creatively and economically upgrade it, give it a sensuous luxurious exterior, a Northstar engine (until a lux version of E-Flex is developed) and breathe whole new life into it? I vote they drop this letter based nomenclature that evokes no emotion and bring back Brougham and DeVille, Seville. Plausible way to help GM keep from taking 3 steps back after taking 2 forward with the CTS?
