I agree. I find the latest models (ones with horizontal headlamps) to be rather generic and not easily recognizable as Cadillacs, whereas the older models (which includes the current Escalade), with the bold grille and the vertical headlamp units that wrap up over the front fender, as easily and instantly recognizable as Cadillacs.To me this is another instance of the ongoing Caddy styling malfunction, where the Escalade looks good mostly because it's a Chevy with a different grille, and the other Cadillac models have no brand identity. If I had to guess a brand from the photo of the Lyriq above, I'd pretty confidently say "Ford or Lincoln", which is not great for GM.
Definitely is, but gosh darn the CT5V Blackwing with a 6 speed would be a blast to drive.Really impressive. I am very happy for Cadillac with this one.
