If imitation is the highest form of flattery, than consider the Mercedes-Benz S-Class->ke359 completely flattered. Volvo has already made it clear that they want to build an S-Class rival, and now Detroit automaker General Motors wants to build one for Cadillac.->ke18 Let's just hope it's more CTS->ke1200 than DTS->ke1202.

The luxury playing field has been expanding over the past few years. The Germans were all over the segment, with the 7-Series->ke323, the A8->ke1089, and the S-Class. Toyota came along and released the Lexus LS->ke436 and the Infiniti Q45, Jaguar released the new XJ->ke1206, and Hyundai is about the drop the Equus.

Reports are indicating that the top dog, CEO Ed Whitacre, would like Cadillac to create a premium luxury sedan. We would expect this new car - if the rumors are correct - to be slotted above the XTS around 2014. In total, that will give Cadillac->ke18 nine vehicle modes on offer, from the ATS down to the Escalade. That being said, Whitacre has some time before he gets a new ride to be driven around in.
