Cadillac Fleetwood.
Last Updated:
We already know GM is working on two new Cadillac EV sedans based on an updated version of the Ultium platform. However, a Fleetwood retrun is still unlikely…
These new sedans will replace the current CT4 and CT5, even though the larger version will actually be larger than the CT5.
A new Fleetwood would be the largest Cadillac sedan available besides the Celestiq, for much less. It would still be expensive, but probably priced at under $ 100,000 to be competitive against the Mercedes EQS or the BMW i7. And not trying to be a Rolls or Bentley, like the Celestiq.
The Fleetwood was one of the most luxurious cars the Cadillac ever made over the last decades. The “Fleetwood” name was usually added to a more mainstream sedan like the DeVille.
In 1993, the Fleetwood became a specific model, based on the Cadillac Brougham platform. Which dated from the late 1970s, Deville. The 1993 Fleetwood was quite a modern design when it came out. It almost looked like a weird production version of a Syd Mead design from some angles. And the master illustrator himself drove one for years.
The Fleetwood courageously held on until 1996, with sales shrinking every year. By that time, a giant RWD sedan from Cadillac wasn’t what people wanted anymore. The CT6 and XTS were on their way. And especially, the truck-based Escalade. Which somehow ended up ruling the whole Cadillac brand and became their best seller, year after year…
A new Fleetwood sedan would be a Cadillac return to a market they abandoned years ago. A market that has been shrinking ever since. And yet, why not…
It will be called the Fleeq.
Cadillac Fleetwood New Look
As I had Stated, before the new name of the next Cadillac should be the Cadillac Granduer … please build it with total luxury, style, and performance. THE ALL NEW CADILLAC GRANDU’ER!!!
A bunch of computer devices in a car is not luxury. Ride, interior design, appointments and comforts are. Set yourself apart from every other American car like you once did. If your vehicles are going to be that expensive, they should be worth striving to obtain. Distinctive, with character and personality as in your past.
Cadillac had a great concept car 4 years ago and that was the El Mirage which was promoted as a coup that car could have been made a coup a convertible and stretched to be a four-door sedan show the pictures of the Cadillac El Mirage
The Fleetwood looks nice, when will it be available
I love caddy’s, but for the past 25 years or so they have lost their distinction. Big time ! . A lot of these new EVs coming out from Cadillac are horrid, as far as exterior design. Bland, common design ques. They are playing it way too safe. Who’s approving these final designs that head to production. I know there is a lot to consider in a car to try to make it a marketable product, let alone a popular or highly sought after one, you’d think that USA’s top tier auto luxo brand would be able to find just a few good folks or maybe just that 1 person that get it right ! Make a Cadillac look like a Cadillac. I love the look of that Cadillac 16 concept they did in the ninties. Swaggy for sure.they captured that true essence of what cadillac should look like. You just felt it too. It’s style ques were pretty spot on, I thaught. It looked distinguished , it looked refined , it looked like it was a Cadillac ! And it looked American ! I get tired of hearing people refer to newer American styling themes as having adopted a more European look with something on the car….American automotive styling evolves with
The times. Things get more modern looking and streamlined here too ! One thing that stands out in my head is when people refer to when American cars lost the dual rectangle shaped sealed beam halogen headlights on cars and started making the single smooth glass high/ low beam fixture headlight. It was so “euro”. Lol. Ive been going on now for a bit…so I’ll just say. Save Cadillac ! Make Cadillac the Cadillac of cars again !
