Earlier this year there was speculation that Cadillac is going to eventually drop the slow selling STS and DTS sedans in favor of one premium sedan. Well it has been confirmed by Cadillac officials that both sedans will die after there current product cycles.
The declining premium luxury sedan market is partly to blame for the decision. DTS sales are down 13.9 percent and STS sales are down 24.7 percent so far this year. According to Jim Taylor, Cadillac’s General Manager the replacement for both sedans will combine the best attributes of both sedans, although he failed to tell Automotive News any dates for the new car.
Taylor also stated that Cadillac is working on a new entry-level model that would slot below the CTS sedan in the $28,000-$32,000 price range. A new BRX compact crossover is also due by 2009.
