It's not so much that they are all going to be the same, just going to more of a Corporate Cadillac face. Just look at BMW, their lineup looks the same with the 3-series (Small), 5 Series (Medium), and 7 Series (Large). Gone are the days (for any company) where your cars look totally different from others in your lineup.

I like the ATS, and if I was in the market for a sedan I would get one. With a nice set of wheels and drop they really look good



Maybe by time the ATS-V debuts I will be in the market for one.


I understand what you are saying about Cadillac. I grew up around a LOT of them. A lot of family members had different ones: Sevilles, Devilles, Broughams, Fleetwoods, etc.. None of them were "sporty" or for "Young Professionals". They were for older, more established buyers.

But I think the change actually started with the early 2000's STS. It was one of the first to actually address good handling. The CTS was the first Cadillac I can acutally think of that was geared for younger buyers from day one (the Cimarron will NEVER be mentioned/considered). The XLR was cool too.
