Cadillac Non-Model Specific DiscussionThis section is for discussion regarding Cadillac automobiles in general. General resale value, general reliability, etcetera. Cadillac topics about specific Cadillac models go in their respected "specific model" section.
First of all, I'm not starting this thread to hurt anyone's feelings or cause a stir, I'm just curious as to which Cadillacs hardcore Caddy fans don't like. Let's face it, not all of them have been smash hits, although the fact it's a Cadillac makes it better than most cars.
I'm not a huge fan of the '74 models. I don't like the round headlights in the square bezels and the way the ends of the front fenders round off looks weird to me. The '75s and '76s are much better looking to me, I'd put them on my top 5 list actually.
Cimmaron, what the hell is that? Why would Cadillac decide to build a Cavalier?
yeah, caddy always seems to make entry level cars with varying degrees of success, case in point:
a. seville, first model, 76'-79'( nothing wrong here at all, just the entry level at it's time i believe).
b. cimmaron ( not good looking or cute, did'nt even sell well to my knowledge).
c. catera (much better lokking, but still does'nt do it for me).
d. CTS (nothing wrong with this car at all!!!, just their entry level car, will have a V series one day!!!).
I don't like the 1952 Series 60 Sedanette. I remember walking to 1st grade and seeing one of them and thinking, "Man, is THAT ever ugly" ~
I don't care for the 1940's Cadillacs with the wannabe fins that were tiny. The mid to late fifties were getting better. At first I scoffed at the idea of a V6 Cadillac like Catera and CTS, but I actually like the styling of the Catera better. The horsepower ratings of the CTS makes up for it's edgy looks.(base model)
sidenote, I'm probably the only one who thinks Edsels look ok for a 50's car, despite the toilet bowl grille.
I don't really care for any of the mid-seventies to very early nineties models. They are the reason that Cadillac had to go through the trouble of 'reinventing' itself. Not to say that there weren't a couple decent designs in that time, but for each model produced in that time period I can think of a reason why I wouldn't own one. GM brought Cadillac a little too close to the rest of their lineup.
