I recently purchased 2 new/newer European cars. Doesn't mean I do not miss and/or would like to even have a full size luxury Cadillac or Lincoln again, to go with these. This is a late 60s post, actually Buick. Certainly don't want to hear about a 50s car. Cost isn't an issue; would like to see a nice brand new Fleetwood or Town Car long wheelbase again. Loaded up. Any other tentative buyers?

First, the XTS is a completely separate model from the CT6 -- the former is a FWD car that shares a platform with the LaCrosse and Impala; the latter is a RWD car on GM's Omega platform. They are currently both on sale, side by side, at Cadillac dealerships.

Second, Cadillac claims the CT6 is not their flagship model.

Third, it is not an issue of the lack of interest in Cadillac, specifically. Sales of all cars are down across the board, thanks to the rise in popularity of crossovers. "Traditional American" luxury cars had been ceding market share to their CUV counterparts for over a decade by the time the DTS and Town Cars were finally culled.
