There appears to be but one thing wrong with the new XTS that even the most skilled designers couldn’t fix…

The platform is front-drive, leading to a much shorter front than any ‘flagship’ should possess in this segment.

Rumors are flying this morning of a management shake-up at GM (again).

After today’s sales call – scheduled for 10a EST – GM is expected to announce several changes in its management structure. Included in this is rumored to be the removal of Bryan Nesbitt as head of Cadillac.

This would possibly signal a weakening of the influence of Vice-Chairman Bob Lutz (who helped champion Nesbitt who worked for him at Chrysler in the late 90’s).

This, the cancellation of the Converj extended range EV, and the showing of a Epsilon II based ‘flagship’ car calls into question the commitment of new GM management to making Cadillac a true leader of the luxury segment vs. a style-driven profit-center.

Stay tuned.

As you may have seen elsewhere online, pricing has been announced on the seat option we told you about over a month ago.

The Recaro sport seats, previously only available on the CTS-V, will now be an option on the non-V CTS sedan (and coupe when it goes into production in a few months).

The option will cost $2800 and provide a much sportier seating option than previously available to those of us without the means or need for supercharged, V-8 power.

GMI News is reporting that Cadillac is not listing a Northstar equipped level of the 2011 STS.

If this marks the end of the Northstar, it might also suggest that the DTS ends production at the end of the 2010 model year due to its only offering the Northstar.

We knew that the Northstar was near the end of its life, this just gives us the first sign that its end is near.
