What you keep calling a DTS is actually the DHS or 'deville' depending on the year it was sold...
A friend of mine had a brand new dts in 2001 with the letters dts on the rear. The dts came with a floor shifter foglights and the 17 inch wheels with the touring package.

They were fun cars. They just don't hold up. Honestly a real shame.

Can anyone name one American made vehicle that can do more than 250k miles on original parts consistently (besides diesel trucks)?

I think maybe a few chevy/ford trucks... but personally I don't know of one...
My dad's old F250 V10 has close to 180K on it now with original engine/tranny... but well, well maintained...
He sold it to a family friend and it's still going...

oh dang... you threw that word 'consistently' in there... blows that...

I had a 1985 chevy celebrity Eurosport that had well over 250k miles on it. They car was all metric bolts from the factory with the 2.8 multi port FI. Great car only had to replace the factory alternator a few times and regular maintenance that's it. Great car.

Get what you want I Had my ls430 for 6 yrs and was tired of it at 187,000 so I went and got a challenger rt and I'm loving it. I test drove the ls460 ( ride was excellent )and the challenger I made my division because I wanted a sporty ride with room inside . Note it's hard getting rid of such a dependable car bit it was time.
