The stunning white Caddy rolling down the New York streets was not a CTS or an ATS, but the new flagship CT6 sedan that has yet to be revealed.  The 112-year-old American luxury brand has set their sights firmly on the Germans, aiming for Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and BMW levels of perception among buyers (and sales numbers of course). That's no small task, but a range of high-quality and stylish products like the ATS Coupe and excellent CTS sedan, they're certainly on the right path.  According to rumors, the CT6 will be rear-wheel-drive primarily (likely with an all-wheel-drive option) and compete head on with the S-Class, 7 Series, and A8. It will also likely feature the twin-turbocharged V-6 from the CTS and V performance line, which could be used primarily in a hybrid powertrain.  The CT6 also kicks off Cadillac's new naming structure, adopting an alphanumeric format that has served Audi well and was implemented by now-Cadillac-boss Johann de Nysschen while at Ingolstadt. All future Cadillac sedans will be designated with "CT-" and all SUVs apart from the Escalade will be "XT-."  We're excited to see Cadillac take the next step to become a global luxury player, and from just one glance, the CT6 looks like an excellent iteration of the angular "Art + Science" design language. Welcome to New York, Cadillac. We're glad to have you.
Cadillac is keen on taking on the world's best luxury cars, and the CT6 flagship teased at the Oscars is their ticket
