Cadillac’s biggest sedan right now is the DTS, but even that isn’t big enough to serve as a de facto limousine. To answer the need for more long-wheelbase vehicles in the livery industry, Cadillac is introducing the new DTS-L. The new Cadillac is certainly long. At 215.6 inches, it’s more than a foot longer than the new Lexus LS 460 L and bests most full-size SUVs in the length department. Rear legroom is 49 inches, which is also considerably more than the Lexus.
The large panel behind the rear passenger windows is meant to provide extra privacy for passengers, but we wonder why the rear seats offer only heat, not the heated and cooling abilities of the front seats. The rear seats don’t recline or offer a footrest, like others in the luxury long-wheelbase segment, either. As an executive car, however, it still delivers an attractive and more upscale alternative to the popular but aging Lincoln Town Car.
Editor’s note: While we realize car shoppers won’t be lining up to buy one of these, it’s still an interesting entry into a niche market that most of us only pay attention to on the way to the airport. For an interior photo click below.

One of the oldest companies in the United States, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. was founded by two brothers-in-law who developed sodium bicarbonate in their kitchen. We know sodium bicarbonate better as baking soda, and we know the company better as the group that brought us Arm & Hammer. Cleverly, the company has managed to turn their strong brand name into numerous other products such as toothpaste and cat litter. And though we associate the company with being clean, the acquisition of Carter-Wallace, Inc, brought with it a brand for those doing the dirty deed. The same company that makes Arm & Hammer now makes Trojan condoms. Today

The Volvo 780 is one of the those cars you rarely see on the road but always notice. Designed by Bertone, it is one of only a handful of true Volvo coupes (Bertone, of course, designed the previous iteration). Though not a fast car by European coupe standards, a later GT example came equipped with an independent rear suspension, 200 HP turbo Volvo powerplant and a four-speed manual transmission. Despite remaining brick-like, the Volvo 780 stands out as one of the best looking Volvos of the era. When production ceased in 1990 there were fewer than 10,000 of them made. As much as we appreciate advanced technology, it just isn't as much fun without good design. That's what
