The DTS replaces the Cadillac DeVille as that carmaker's largest luxury car for the 2006 model year, following the naming and styling direction set by the earlier CTS and STS.
The design of the DTS was introduced in a unique way. A specially-designed and outfitted presidential DTS limousine was utilized during the second inauguration of George W. Bush in the January 20, 2005 parade. While details of the vehicle, codenamed Stagecoach, are highly classified, it is presumed to be heavily armored and feature advanced communication equipment. The production DTS was shown at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show on February 9.
The DTS is manufactured at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly factory in Hamtramck, Michigan. The Luxury models are priced at US$41,990, while the Performance version is priced at US$50,490. The DTS is the best-selling full-size luxury car in North America.
One major feature change from the Deville to the DTS was the elimination of the standard 6-passenger seating option for non-limousine models. However, such capability remains an optional feature.
A stretched version of the DTS (known as the DTS-L) has been unveiled for 2007. This will likely be a six-inch stretch of the platform giving rear passengers more a more spacious environment.
Future
GM will redesign the DTS for the 2010 model year on the rear wheel drive GM Zeta platform.
