Cadillac unveils the CT6 (01:59)

It's no secret that Cadillac is looking for a boost these days.

And from hiring a new president in Johan de Nysschen to moving its headquarters to New York City, the brand has been taking steps it hopes will help vault it up the luxury ladder.

People and places don't translate to sales, however, and Cadillac is also working on a host of new models to compete with the German and Japanese competition.

From new performance models, including the ATS-V, to new sport utilities, like the XT5, Cadillac seems to be heading in the right direction.

But it's the flagship CT6 that Cadillac has the highest hopes for.

A range-topping sedan, the Cadillac CT6 was unveiled at the New York auto show, and the Motoring TV team was on hand to take a closer look.
