New Cadillac XTS CUE Touchscreen Infotainment System - Blows Jag Out of The Water
Cadillac User Experience Technology | CUE - YouTube
This video speaks for itself. I'm sorry... I love my XJ, I love the screen and the capabilities of the infotainment center - but this just takes it 10 steps further. Jag could do a firmware update for us to enable different display modes, Pandora, all that stuff.
My wife wants this car and she hates sedans like this.
Not sure if anyone has already shared - if so, my apologies!

I always forget most XJ owners remember 8 tracks and seeing the Beatles live. I'm 31... My car is my spaceship and the more touch screens and I teaches there are, the happier I am. I remember an elderly man returning his XJ after 200 miles because it was too complicated for him.
That thing looks like an IPad... and since I already am terrific at texting and driving with my knees, this will be prefect.

Looks good to me! I think it would be great to have technology like that in your car. Impresses your passengers, and you could get very fast on it (like I have on my EVO!) and use it with huge efficiency. I will say, though, that I prefer gauges to HD screens, because instruments that are digital are chintzy. When these cars go on the used market, in say, 10 years, they'll be for sale, and no one will want them because there is a ton of outdated technology, ruining/running every aspect of the car.

I was alluding to the fact that all current cars will eventually have the same problem--outdated technology. I don't think that will render them all worthless--it never has. Everyone knows that you don't get the latest and greatest in a used car.
I bought my XJ for a lot of reasons, style and performance being at the top, electronics and entertainment not as much, and I haven't been disappointed. I think cars that mostly rely on gimmicks and the latest electronic wizardry will suffer the most on resale. A well designed car with top-notch performance is somewhat timeless.

I don't know how to feel about that, the tech in there is very outdated, but if it had more prominent stuff, like a 2002 Nav system, it is basically like having Windows 98 running in your car.
The only solution? Lots of idiots fit their cars with unattractive tech crap from Best Buy. My solution would be, buy a new car! That's the only source of the newest tech. That said, the more often you buy a new car, the more money you flush down the toilet, as the first 2 years have the biggest drop in value imaginable. after about 3 years, the depreciation slows.

I have the new (your) car CADI at my office. I don't agree. Last rev on the Jag rocks. It is all in what you are used to. BTW. 15000 miles. Not one problem. And this 2011 XJL turns heads! gov Motors is getting there. Just not yet. Lord I hope they hurry up!!!!!!
I hold TATA and the new GM stock. I like to keep track of them.

I am not sure why people think technology doesn't matter. It's does. It comes in all kinds of shapes and forms. I am sure we would all be pitching a fit if our car didn't have A/C or power windows. It bothers me that a Mini owner can go into their systems menu and turn off/on their daytime running lamps but I have to waste time going to my dealer to do something that takes less than 60 seconds. point is to find the right balance at the right price point. You have to decide what is important to you. I personally couldn't buy a Porsche GT3 for that kind of money and have close to nothing in it just so its light. For some people its not as important but I can bet you it's not their only car. This is my luxury sedan so I expect certain luxury items in it either standard or optional. The entertainment interface can't be everything to everyone but some things should just be a no brainer. Album Art no brainer. Integration of cell phone no brainer. I agree that a car company is really in no position to keep up with the changing tides of the entertainment technology industry but I feel luxury car makers need to be on edge just like they are with everything else in their cars.

I saw the Cadillac XTS at the Detroit Auto show and I was fairly impressed until I viewed the back of the car. The trunk deck has a plastic brakelight slapped on it that is ugly and cheap looking. Why not put the light on the back deck in the interior where it is not so noticeable? The rear of the car is a disaster, so much so that I would never consider it.
