Other articles say the GM will make Cadillac their ev brand to take on Tesla.  I think this is going to be a failed marketing strategy from the git-go.  Cadillac is an old-people's brand.

That profile skips one other demographic.  Around here, all the Caddy owners are black  ...AND old.

I love older Cadilacs, I drove an 70s eldorado in the early 90s, but I really do not like the style they've adopted in the last couple of decades -- with the sharp angles and blockiness.  That said, I kind like the look of this one.
