GM has been working hard in two new cars to be launched this year in order to increase sales in the US. Next week, the new Cadillac XTS sedan will be revealed.

The Cadillac XTS, will be available for new customers as of spring of 2012, and aims to compete with the Audi 6 and Mercedes E Class.

According to Alan Baum, industry consultant at Baum & Associates in Michigan: “The luxury segments are very much dependent on new product, and Cadillac has kind of let itself get behind.” “They’ve been able to get by with it because SRX clearly has been very successful and they’ve done some variants on CTS.”

The manufacturer has yet to announce XTS price later on this month, but is confirmed that the car will be somewhat bigger than its competitors.
