Re: Cadillac Should Lose the DTS

While the DTS in its current form should be killed, I think that the DTS SHOULD continue as a speicalty model, something like a CLS from MB. Something with style a bit more off the track of the A&S. Something a bit more exciting, something built off the Sigma II platform. Maybe suicide doors? Perhaps a large touring coupe, something on par with a CL, call it the DTC, or Devillie Touring Coupe. I think that Caddy needs to think outside the box with the next gen DTS. No need to get rid of a name, just improve on its style and status. Move it away from the old mans car, and move it twards a fashonable vehicle that Caddy can sell at low numbers to keep the Sigma plant moving and always in production.
I belive that fleet needs to be left alone for Caddy. Leave it for Buick, Pontiac and Chevy. Caddy and Saturn should NOT have any involvement with fleet sales.
I think that the G-Body needs to go away all together. Move the Lurceren to the Zeta platform, move the DTS to SigII, and continue to produce a solid car.
