When looking at the year-to-date sales of these cars, as well as others in the class like C Class, A4, 3 Series, MKZ etc. they're holding up pretty well and selling in large numbers in the soft new car market. Originally Posted by bitkahuna

This size and price range must appeal to a wide range of new car buyers.

While people knock Lexus for a cushy ride, that is what TONS of people want and while LExus has gotten somewhat sportier, the RX/ES/LS/GX/LX show people want comfy cars in droves.
Most BMWs/Benzs are not sport models but regular models.
I am Mike BIG TIME here, there is a HUGE opportunity that will be missed as this population will BALLOON the next 10 years and they will have no old school cushy cars to buy.
The LS will make a killing lol
good point on the lack of investment in the boats; i think caddy should have the DeVille (and yea i do think it should stay deville and seville instead of dts & sts) be it's S/LS/7 fighter, as a big estate style car that you very well might have a driver for. where as the SeVille would be more like ... hmmm, like a 5/A6 type of car which would be sportier and have some good go and kick @$$ness but still a nice drive all around.

this obviously leaves the CTS in line w. the 3/IS/A4 & the BLS (would they bring it over already) to ge up against the A3/1
my point: caddy shouldn't abandon a big estate car, maybe just make less of them but make them really good!

The CTS in ways is like the TL/G35 etc. where it is larger and helps the competitive comparison, this is a good tool for a second-tier luxury brand to bring the fight to the competition. But I think there's opportunity in a new DTS or flagship and the name could have continued.
