Cadillac
Cadillac is making a serious attempt to claw its way back into the heart of the luxury market. Its lineup of rear-wheel-drive sedans, such as the CT4 and CT5, are gratifyingly dynamic and punctuated by the 472-hp CT4-V Blackwing and the 668-hp CT5-V Blackwing. The lineup also features a range of SUV choices: First, there's Cadillac's subcompact crossover, the XT4. In the middle are the mid-size XT5 and the XT6. A bit of the old guard is still present in the truck-based Cadillac SUV, the Escalade.
