2020 Cadillac CT5 (pricing update post #56)

In 2019 Lexus sold 51k (+6%) ES and Lincoln 17k (-11%) MKZ. The trend of each model really stands out. Ford is doing the right thing if they pull the plug on the MKZ. It's unfortunate that for now, they don't have a replacement for it but that's the market right now.

It is prehistoric at this point. FCA is happy to make profit from tooling long ago paid for.
The question, though, is if the CT5 will be too sport-oriented for some buyers. We'll see how the Premium-Luxury version sells....not everyone is going to want the V-models.

Bears out EXACTLY what I said before...very successful until about 2016 or so, then a sudden downturn.

I wonder how much of that has to do with fleet sales. Lacrosse sold to fleets and the ES doesn't. Rental car companies are moving to crossovers too which takes the wind out of the fleet market.

That might explain that drop off.

Another possibility on gm sedan death is they've been trying to back away from huge incentives/rebates, but that left the cars not so price-competitive, and sales tanked.

I never saw those rebates roll back on those models though
