Accords and Camrys are not luxury flagship sedans! They are mainstream midsize family sedans, which should be FWD. BMW 7 series - RWD. Mercedes S Class - RWD. Infinity Ms - RWD. Lexus LS - RWD. Audi A8 - Dedicated, premium AWD. Do you see Audi building their flagship off of the Passat's platform? NO! Epsilon II is all well and good for a bread and butter mainstream family sedan, but it has no place underpinning a luxury flagship. Cadillac will never compete with the real luxury players with subpar platforms and with only 2 extra large cars, a CUV, and an SUV. GM promised they would be truly competitive, and Cadillac would take on the best from Europe. Instead they give us a cheap badge job from a low end platform. It is the son of Cimmaron. This is a slap in the face to everyone who gave GM a second chance.
Edit: Forgot Jaguar - RWD. Hyundai Genesis (and coming soon, Equus) - RWD! Even the Koreans figured this out faster than we did! And in their first attempt!
