The Car Connection has posted that they are hearing that Cadillac will be getting a version of the Zeta rear-drive architecture as a replacement for the STS and DTS in the not too distant future (2010-11 model year).
The only reason this is news is due to recent decisions by GM to cancel other Zeta-based cars due to the future CAFE standards that go into effect in 2020.
This will leave GM with only the new Camaro, the G8 sedan for Pontiac, a large Buick, and the new top Cadillac as the only US versions of the Australian designed and built Zeta.
Expect the Cadillac version to be powered by turbocharged and direct injected V-6 engines with both rear and all-wheel drive and to be priced competitively with the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes S-Class.

Motortrend is running a blurb about this original sketch from Cadillac designer Bob Munson.
Originally conceived as the production look for the Cien supercar – Cadillac’s new design focus allowed the expressive design to be merged with the CTS program and produce the amazing CTS coupe we know today.
Interesting is that Cadillac sees the CTS coupe as the first in a long progression of expressive, artistic cars that could see Cadillac being ‘the’ stylish luxury brand.
How far we’ve come in 5 years since the original CTS.

Vogue Tyre has always been a fan of the CTS, providing wheel/tire and body kits for the CTS almost since the beginning.
 So, it is no surprise that they are one of the first to have a package for the new CTS.
Their VTXi package includes a body kit, mesh grills (including for the fender vents), rear spoiler, and 18 or 20” chrome wheels.
Check out the page at Vogue for more details:

In November 2007, we drove the 2008 CTS (in 3.6l DI, All-wheel drive form) and wrote our impressions in a 4-part series.
We’re in touch with Cadillac now to see what other review vehicles might be available.
What would you, the Caddy Edge faithful, like to see reviewed next? We’d like to know just so we can make sure that, if offered a choice, that we pick the vehicles you are most interested in.
...and, just so you know, we are in line to get access to the new CTS-V and Escalade Hybrid as soon as possible.
Your thoughts?
