STORY

The DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) was Cadillac's full-size front-wheel-drive luxury sedan from 2006 to 2011. It was the direct successor to the DeVille and one of the last of the brand's traditional big, soft-riding sedans. It had the Northstar V8, appealed to older buyers and was widely used as a livery and limousine car. Its end closed Cadillac's era of front-drive full-size flagships.
