It looks like the all-new Cadillac XTS that will replace both the DTS and STS sedans will make its world premiere at next month's Los Angeles International Auto Show, or at least that's what is being reported by InsideLine.
It was anticipated that the XTS would debut either in LA in November or at the Detroit Show in January as General Motors has already revealed that sales will begin in the spring of next year.
The flagship XTS will be based on last year's XTS Platinum concept study, though it will most likely ditch the prototype's plug-in hybrid system that combined a 3.6-liter V6 engine with an electric motor for a combined output of 350HP and 295 lb-ft of torque.
More recently, GM showed off the XTS's dashboard during the presentation of the new Cadillac CUE infotainment system in San Diego.

We don't know for how long Cadillac planned to keep the spanking-new 2014 CTS under wraps, but following an initial surprise (of sorts) this morning with a first batch of pictures showing bits and pieces of the executive model,Carscoops reader Lloyd pointed us towards USA Today, which has dropped a full photo gallery.The new generation of the CTS sports a sleeker, better-proportioned and more dynamic interpretation of Cadillac's sculpted Art & Science styling language, with finer detailing, especially up front with the tear-drop LED lights
Inside, the dashboard continues the same styling theme seen on Cadillac's newer models like the ATS and XTS, with a large capacitive touch screen for the CUE infotainment system, and what looks like a full digital display for the instrument cluster.
From what we know, the new CTS will ride on a bigger platform allowing Cadillac's mid-size sedan to grow in size and compete directly with the likes of the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, instead of being positioned between two categories, as was the case with the two previous CTS models.
GM has told us that the 2014 CTS will launch with a choice of three gasoline powertrains, including a base 2.0-liter turbocharged four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 producing 321-horses and a brand-new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 420-horsepower. All engines are linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, with the two base engines offering AWD as an option.
