2014 Cadillac XTS  - As a late baby-boomer it's difficult to forget the distinction of Cadillac in the past 30 years. So, I went into the XTS test with a somewhat jaded attitude -- a don't let the good looks fool ya way of thinking. But to my surprise, the XTS is smooth, quick, handles responsively and is extremely fuel efficient for a car of its size. In the late 80's when the Japanese too the bells-and-whistles that Cadillac buyers grew so fond of and matched them with a car that was not a performance-minded as Mercedes Benz and BMW, it offered creature comforts the German engineers found despicable. The Cadillac XTS fits in the same category.
