In my opinion, when GM sped up the Cadillac assembly lines in the early 1970s, it really let both interior and exterior quality go downhill. Cadillac was done with being the "standard of the world". Ever since then, they've just been expensive cheaply made cars. Outside of the Escalade, Cadillac currently offers nothing for me of interest. Yes, even the Blackwings. They are excellent performance cars, but they're not Cadillacs. The 1996 Fleetwood Brougham was, in my opinion, the last TRUE Cadillac. Big, full framed, simple, quiet, and with enough goodies to keep me interested in going on a long road trip in comfort, with little worry. Yeah, the Optispark is a mild concern, but with proper maintenance, no biggie at all.

I think the E/K-cars (Toronado, Riviera, Eldorado/Seville) were supposed to debut first, earlier in the '80s, to be followed by the N-cars. But GM's 1984 reorganization created a lot of chaos and they got delayed. So the mini-me, aspirational clone N-cars (Grand Am, Calais, Somerset Regal) actually beat them to market. Since GM pretty much invented the concept of having styling cues "trickle down" the lineup they should have known doing it backwards would make the E/K-cars dead on arrival.

All the things John Davis, and other reviewers complained about 30 years ago which forces Cadillacs hand, and Cadillac is no better off really. Luxury has long been gone since the demise of the dts and xts.

Even as a sports car guy, if I can't have that, I want something with a seat that's actually comfortable to sit in for hours on end, a suspension that floats effortlessly along even if it means it can't put in a good Nurburgring time, and an open feeling inside. The SUVs that effectively replaced these kinds of cars don't ride terribly well (there are probably some that do, but all the ones I've been in from different manufacturers have been disappointing and it makes sense as they need to be stiffer to counter the high center of gravity in turns, plus they put elastic band tires on everything no matter how inappropriate) and often have overly hard seats (I rarely have a complaint about the seat backs, but the bottoms are mostly mediocre or terrible in modern cars, either unnecessarily constricting bolsters-and I'm not a wide guy-as if everyone is pulling turns at over a g in every corner or they turn to stone after a couple hours or both) with interiors that feel cramped thanks to enormous center consoles and bank-vault-thick doors (which, OK, the latter is for safety, but it doesn't help the situation with the giant console).

The 80’s good times

Thank you so much for this GM review. GM was going through some lean times back then. They upgraded this generation to add a little length to make it appear longer. The 1992 upsized Eldorado was in the works at that time. The 4.5 liter V8 was a vast improvement over what came before. The 4.5 went to 4.9 liters and gained more power. Sadly, the Northstar V8 was a let down. All the E Body cars were redesigned by 1992. Eldorado got the slight upsizing in 1988, the Buick Riviera grew 12 inches loner in 1989, Oldsmobile Toronado was redesigned and made much longer for 1990. I own a 1992 and it is longer and wider. The Eldorado got the Touring Coupe with the seats John mentioned. Eldorado was redesigned for the 1992 model years where it was longer and wider. It actually stopped Cadillac from producing Coupe DeVille because they were too similiar in size. The 1992 redesin does not use the Northstar V8. Some of the 1993's do not either. You can find a 1992 or 1993 without a Northstar V8.

Funny, the brand certainly struck gold with the Escalade and their V-Series performance sedans, but they never seemed to recapture their top-dog status in the flagship sedan or coupe market.

The issues was not only the styling of the cars from GM at the time, but the downsizing of the cars that impacted all its brands. The 1990's upsizing could not come fast enough. This car in the video was redesigned and upsized for 1992.

When buying these, they assumed it was this car was worthy of the name and a premium product as well.
