The GM Authority Take

With five consecutive months of year-over-year sales volume decreases, we are confident that the XTS has become a victim of shifting consumer buying dynamics that favor CUVs and SUVs over sedans.

However, there is another factor that could be playing into the XTS’ sales decline — and that is the fact that the current model has aged since its 2013 model year introduction, thereby potentially becoming less competitive when compared to newer rivals such as the Lincoln Continental. The upcoming XTS refresh should address this potential concern. By comparison, the Conti accounted for 973 deliveries in June.

  1. Refresh doesn’t look like much at first but it grows on you.

    Have started to see some in Toronto airport limo service……needs to be hybridized and a couple of inches added to back seat legroom and it would find a very profitable niche in the marketplace.
