Cadillac S-class fighter confirmed

General Motors CEO Dan Akerson recently revealed to USA Today that a new Cadillac S-class and 7-series fighter is in the works. He suggested it would be released in about two years.

The large luxury sedan will utilize a rear-wheel-drive chassis loosely based on the CTS, though there will also be an all-wheel drive version.

The car won't necessarily look like previous concept cars like the Ciel. The XTS is likely to soldier on alongside a new flagship.

The new car will provide a formidable American S-class competitor to consumers, and we look forward to seeing what Cadillac has in store.

Stay tuned for more developments.
