What is Cadillacs problem?
>Not making the Escala although they can
>Will influence all their vehicles design languages, but they have 2 of them
>3 mid sized sedans

What is their endgame?
Hello
>3 mid sized sedans
What?
CT6 is a large sedan. Much bigger than the CTS.
ATS=3 series, CTS=5 series, CT6=7 series
Don't forget the El Mirage.
Nobody wants a car over an suv when gas is $2

Cadillac failed to develop their own V8. There is no point in a luxury car if it doesn't have a V8 and the performance versions have to borrow corvette engines.
> borrow corvette engines
650 hp / 650 ft lbs. 250k mile reliability. I will borrow.
Just look at Cadillac's head marketing executive. Her statements about the luxury automotive industry tell you everything you need to know. It's impressive how she has managed to swindle so money from GM for her personal enjoyment.
So that's 1 mid size sedan (CTS) 2 full size (CT6, XTS) and 1 compact (ATS)
>Not making the Escala although they can
what
they cannot make that car as pictured, sorry

They should make a non supercharged version, claim it has higher tolerances or some shit and call it good.
CT6 is slotted in the gray space between the 5 series and 7 series, it's not the size of other full size sedans
>it's not the size of other full size sedans
except it totally is
>Cadillac failed to develop their own V8
Ya, that worked out great last time.
The only hope Cadillac has is to go independent and somehow separate from GM.
That has to be the reason they build amazing concepts that never make it to production. Cadillac should be selling $200k RR and Bentley competitors, but no, GM is too stubborn and scared to let Cadillac compete with anyone except Lincoln.
Luxury burger shit, but at least they're not as shitty or irrelevant as Lincoln.
>US Sales for 2014:
>Lotus, 157
>Lamborghini, 649
>Rolls-Royce, 825
>Aston Martin, 1122
>Ferrari, 1925
>Bentley, 2591
That is a thin market sista. Those companies are on life support or owned by big, mass market auto makers. No way Cadillac is standing alone.
So...
Compact / 2 door: Allante - ATS
Small / 4 door: Catera - CTS
Midsize: Seville/STS - XTS
Fullsize: Deville/DTS - CT6
When are we going to get an Eldorado/ETC remake?
>sales matter more than the product
Well, yeah, Good goy. Hence why Cadillac currently sucks massive donkey balls.
>why can't Cadillac return to American styling?
The XTS is full size according to the EPA
It's total interior volume is 122cu-ft
>Minicompact < 85 cu-ft
>Subcompact 85–99.9 cu-ft
>Compact 100–109.9 cu-ft
>Mid-Size 110–119.9 cu-ft
>Large/Full-Size ≥ 120 cu-fr
What is the point of the XTS if the CT6 and the CTS exist? It's going to be updated this year, and killed off in 2019. For what purpose?
The XTS looks great in person, but the CT6 looks better
You have to make enough to stay in business, I suppose. Otherwise you end up like these guys being sold off to india or something and becoming the laughing stock of the automotive industry...
>Jaguar the laughing stock of the automotive industry...
not sure if bait or actually this dense
XTS is FWD and made in China.
The CT6 is RWD and made in the US.
>>ATS and CTS won't be updated till 2019/2020, by that time they will be years outdated
Chill, nigga. The ATS and CTS came out within the last few years and 5-7 year model cycles are normal in the auto industry.
Margins on this are probably incredible as it's basically an Impala.
Plus it's appeals to traditional Cadillac buyers i.e. Old people.
> be rich cunt
> buy fancy car
> Jaguar
> may as well of brought a Mahindra
nigga please
>XTS
According to wiki the XTS is assembled in Ontario and the CT6 is assembled in China.
realistically if all goes well in my life I would buy the XTS for me.
Considering the CT6 came out with Cadillacs new design language, and Cadillac is again getting a new design language, I'm confused as to what Cadillacs plans for design across the board
That was over 20 years ago
