2010 Cadillac DTS review: Our expert's take

The DTS, formerly the DeVille, is a front-wheel-drive alternative in Cadillac's luxury sedan lineup. It competes with the Lincoln MKS, Volvo S80 and Chrysler 300C. The DTS can seat five or six.

The 2010 DTS has no significant changes versus the 2009 model.

The DTS' styling is linear and straightforward. It's 207.6 inches long (the roomier DTS-L is 215.6 inches long) and has a wheelbase of 115.6 inches, making it larger and longer than the Lincoln MKS, Volvo S80 and Chrysler 300C. The model's styling is similar to Cadillac's STS sedan.

The DTS can hold five or six occupants, with a choice of front bucket seats or a front bench. Total interior volume measures 132 cubic feet. That's more than the MKS, S80 and 300C. Trunk volume in the DTS is 18.8 cubic feet.

Optional quicker-revving version makes 292 hp and 288 pounds-feet of torque
