3. Cadillac Catera
The Cadillac Catera arrived with genuine European refinement, sharing its underpinnings with the Opel Omega. Its smooth ride and responsive handling stood in contrast to the floaty sedans Cadillac was known for at the time. Unfortunately, the Catera’s attempt to modernize the brand clashed with American expectations of Cadillac luxury. Despite its solid credentials, the Catera’s badge left buyers confused, and it struggled to find an audience that appreciated its unique blend of attributes. [Source]
