THE EARLY LINE

More of a middle line, as Cadillac evolves from stoic staple for affluent older buyers to a supercar for the affluent younger set.

THE SPECIFICS

Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive/all-wheel drive available

THE SKINNY

Nice touch: The navigation/information screen. If you need to see everything, it stands way up on dash. If you just want audio, it slides into the dash, leaving a 1950s-style radio dial.

Annoyance: The seats are firm and comfortable, but lack accentuated bolstering.
