That story seems like a bit of click bait... Combining 2 vehicles into "1"  but adding another?  They are still going to have the 2 sedans below their full size model, just repositioned

Wasn't this the plan all along?

There is no plan

And I put the probability of their sub CT5 RWD sedan making production at around zero. Sounds like they will take everything bad about the ATS (small back seat + cheap interior) and make it worse, to try to sell to people who are just going to want X1/Q3/NXs. de Nysschen still thinks its 1996

lol

I figured the XTS had a future - it's the staple of bargain basement luxury fleets NYC wide.  They're everywhere here.  I guess that duty now goes to the CT6?

I feel like livery cars get driven until there is absolutely nothing left in them..... so if the ideal # of XTS cabs are in NYC there's no market for new ones.

That's an Omega car. (Granted, Omega = long and wide Alpha, but still)

ATS sedan is dead

Moving to something sized between the ATS and CTS. What a novel idea
