Your point is very valid but in Cadillac's case, nobody buys their sedans because they have been varying degrees of total junk to mediocre for over 50 years. The latest ATS/CTS/CT6 have been their best efforts in decades but are still mediocre relative to competitors.

Sedans are still a viable market for brands who know what the hell they are doing.
