  2. Do these use the 3.6 V6? If so, will the 3.6 TT be offered as an option as it is in regular XTS’s?

    1. David — it doesn’t seem like the livery XTSs offer the LF3 turbo six as an option, so LFX N/A V6 for now.

  3. Does the livery sedan ride on an extended wheelbase?

    1. Some have a stretched wheelbase.

      For instance, the W20 livery has the normal XTS wheelbase, but the W30 Coachbuilder stretch livery and V4U Coachbuilder Limo have a longer one.

      My favorite, though, is the B05 Armored XTS… for obvious reasons 🙂

  4. These cars look the part, but I’ve never seen one on the road. I’ve seen the standard car, but not the Professionals.

  5. I just bought a W20 and the rear armrest controls are only on paper. I was told by the dealer that it is a mistake, they never put them on.
