tss Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 So, I went and test drove the new Cadillac XTS Saturday at my dealer (in addition to a 2012 CTS-V Sedan - whole different story). Anyway, the XTS is strikingly similar to the MKS. Same rear fender beltline crease, same very low door chrome strip, same shape, same chrome trim window surround. Anybody else agree with me on the exterior visual similarities? Nice car, but with nothing more than a NA 3.6 V6 , same as in the CTS, I did not fall in love with it. It might replace my wife's 01 SLS, but not my Ecoboost! WITH my car: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 There are suttle differences between the two..... However, the similarities are strikingly odd. How strange. Must've been some GM Designers / Engineers scoping out the competition from FMC and adjusting their vehicles accordingly :tsk: :tsk: Shame shame shame :nono: But then again, copying they say, is the best form of flattery :spy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoolinX2 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Definitely a few similarities it seems. I feel the roofline/back glass on the Caddy goes too far back, and the trunk lid isn't long enough. Kinda has a similar feel to me like the new Audi A7's... The Lincoln is definitely the better looking of the two though, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The wheels on the CTS even look pretty similar to those on my wife's MKT. I agree the MKS is the better looking car. Maybe it's just the angle, but in the second photo the CTS sure looks small. -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
