Cadillac XTS spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery</div>
<br />
We've seen spy photos of <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/cadillac">Cadillac</a>'s upcoming <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/xts">XTS</a> before, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/26/spy-shots-production-cadillac-xts-caught-testing/">only from far away</a>. Now, our intrepid spy photographers have managed to get up-close and personal with the new Caddy flagship, giving us a sneak peak at the sedan's interior in the process.<br />
<br />
Based on the <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/xts+platinum">XTS Platinum</a> concept shown at the 2010 <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show">Detroit Auto Show</a>, this new Cadillac sedan will replace both the <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/sts">STS</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/dts">DTS</a> within the automaker's lineup. This way, the current entry-level <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/cts">CTS</a> can move slightly upmarket to allow for a new, smaller <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/ats">ATS</a> sedan (alphabet soup, we know) that is slated to arrive in the summer of 2012. The XTS is expected to use the same Epsilon II platform that underpins the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/lacrosse">Buick LaCrosse</a>, and we expect both front- and all-wheel-drive variants to be available.<br />
<br />
A quick glimpse at this prototype's interior shows that it will be very similarly designed to the CTS, though we certainly hope that higher-quality materials will be in place. (Let's be honest - the CTS' interior was fine for 2008, but it's ready for an update). Other new details spotted on this test car include a set of Brembo brakes up front (is an XTS-V in the works?) and large, 19-ish-inch wheels.
