Consumers in the market for a new vehicle, but are willing to forego the latest styling or technical advancements should look at these models. Ironically, the the Cadillacs are on the list for being too pricey, when compared to their Japanese and German counterparts. Consumers would be interested at a lower price point, although the quality of today's Cadillac is on par with their competitor. However, because of years of producing non competitive vehicles, it will be a moment before consumers will be willing to pay sticker for the luxury brand's cars (this does not seem to be the case with the SUV and crossover). Consumers should not be paying MSRP for these models. In fact, consumers should receive a substantial discount on these models.
