2002 Cadillac Seville SLS
My new used car...
2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon
Cadillac really speaks my language. And to say such words after growing up in the ‘70s, when there was absolutely nothing cool about the crested wreath brand for a kid in love with Datsun 510s and 240Zs, VW GTIs and Sciroccos, BMW 2002tiis and 3.0 CSi Coupes, not to mention all the Euro exotics, Cadillac had about as much mojo as Corvette in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, before the brilliant ’84 ‘Vette changed perceptions back to world class levels.
The turnaround car for Cadillac was the equally brilliant Seville STS of ’92 through ’97, a car that pulled in its fair share of import buyers, which at that time was a shock to the entire industry. The Cadillac that sealed the deal, however, came a full decade after that Seville STS ended its five-year run, and the 2002 CTS sport sedan not only changed the way premium buyers viewed Cadillac from its inaugural day forth, but also ushered in the brand’s metamorphic Art and Science design language, a collage of angles and creases that almost singlehandedly made curves obsolete.
The 2008 CTS once again shocked the industry by improving on every aspect of the outgoing car, from styling and driving dynamics to leading edge features and interior quality, and so much so that it was immediately revered as a styling leader, one of the best driver’s cars in the class, a technology tour de force and one of the most beautifully detailed vehicles in the segment.
But don’t take my word for it, go sit in the driver’s seat of a new CTS and you’ll be wowed by a meticulous attention to detail that somehow evades a number of the top Japanese and European brands, and more so, what I often refer to as “a sense of occasion” that brands like BMW, Lexus and Saab have never really achieved in their “lower end” cars. In a word, Cadillac’s smallest is opulent, but not opulent in the grad limo like ways it was when Burt Reynolds look-a-likes, clad in bright polyester shirts opened wide to expose hairy chests adorned with shining gold chains slouched behind the wheels of these overwrought yet underachieving land yachts, but rather opulent like the W New York, modern in design yet still reeking of luxury.
