Final Thoughts

In a world where not everybody wants the fastest car, or the tightest handling, but many want a powerful visual statement and creature comforts that remind them of what they've accomplished, the DTS will be a success.

I think that Cadillac has accomplished the near-impossible, in creating a vehicle with traditional Cadillac appeal, while still addressing trends in technology and popular culture. Way to go, Hamtramk!

Strong Points: Escalade-style high-impact styling, great comfort, and plenty of bells and whistles not found on other vehicles.

Weak Points: Awful switchgear, non-sporting road manners in Luxury models, will require trend-setters to step up and over the Deville stigma. Savvy buyers will check out the Buick Lucerne V-8.

Overall: An effort that GMI armchair CEO's would be hard-pressed to improve upon. The 2006 could very much be the Deville reborn.

Thank you for reading!
