It would be nice if an automotive blog, and the press in general, just got some facts right--maybe ask someone in the know next time? That is NOT "The Beast", the fabled 2009 Presidential Cadillac limo. That is the older 2005-era Cadillac DTS-based limousine. The beast is much much taller, and is based on a truck platform. It has an Escalade based grill and headlight system.
