The President is getting a new car this year. Succeeding the very popular 2004 Cadillac DTS based limo, the new Cadillac Presidential Limo is completely new. The car is entirely purpose built and unlike any other car on the road. I've heard a few stories that car is based on a truck chassis, and wouldn't doubt it considering the car's size.
