Never have liked Caddys. Current styling does not appeal to me at all even though it is somewhat similar to "E" class sedans. Have looked at Caddy products at dealers and at car shows. They just don't seem to quite be there and then the price is way too high for what it is.
IMO, an older MB, BMW, Audi, even Lexus is still a nice looking car. An older Caddy (5+ years) just looks old.
BTW, Caddy was the standard of the world (in US) when its only competetion was Packard, Lincoln and Chrysler/Imperial. Each of which had their limitations compared to Cadillac and the GM jugernaut supporting it. The real standards of the world were Rolls Royce and M-B!
