What is the difference between seville and deville

Even presidents use Cadillac Devilles, which are outfitted with special features by independent manufacturers for use as First Cars. Considered Cadillac's showpiece car, the Seville, oftentimes includes Cadillac's newest technology and most powerful engines.

Always a four-door sedan, as opposed to its sibling, the two-door Eldorado. In the mids, the Seville underwent a significant downsizing to cope with the demand for more fuel-efficient cars. As the Cadillac brand reinvented itself with angular shapes, modern technology and a hip, new advertising campaign, it shed the full names of its model line-up, opting instead for acronyms.

The first was the CTS, which replaced the ill-fated Catera. With Ford's Lincoln division openly talking about nixing its executive-hauling Town Car, Cadillac has doubled down on its executive sedan, the Deville, now known as the DTS. It recently updated the body of the flagship, front-wheel drive sedan, adding the angular touches and European finishes the brand's other models have become known for.

The Seville, now known as the STS, is now a rear-wheel drive car, and is offered in Cadillac's vaunted "V-series" line-up, with extremely powerful engines, wider-set tires and a suspension and engine tuned for hot-rodding.
