Cadillac Seville
In the 1990s, GM needed to give Cadillac a change of scenery, the cars were outdated, and new competition from Lexus and Infiniti was making a dent in the sales. The traditional Cadillac buyers weren’t enough to keep the brand afloat. Thus, GM designed a car that was geared toward a younger generation of car shoppers (via Edmunds).
The Cadillac Seville was a midsize sedan with a new advanced V8 engine. The Northstar V8 engine was one of the best-performing engines GM ever sold. The Seville was much more popular than the offerings that came before it. The model continued well into the early 2000s, albeit with a few redesigns.
