- The Cadillac XTS V-Sport is a somewhat retro sedan that still has performance cred.
- It is big, comfy, and has a large trunk - but it also has a powerful V6, twin-turbo engine.
- The Cadillac Cue infotainment system and the Bose audio setup make for blissful highway cruising.
The Business Insider Transportation team is fortunate in that we get to road test some extremely exciting cars.
But humans are diverse in their desires, and spine-tingling performance isn't always what we're looking for. Sometimes, we're looking for a ride that's just easy in the old backbone.
My backbone is no longer exactly young, and over the past few years, whenever an old-school, all-American freeway-cruising machine has landed in my driveway, I've quietly rejoiced.
This happened again recently when Cadillac loaned me a nice, big XTS V-Sport sedan.
