You're partly correct. Although you don't, for a number of reasons, see as many of them in the Lower Midwest (Bible Belt) as you do the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes states OH, MI, WI, etc.... have traditionally been one of Caddy's more-popular areas. Caddies were also popular (and still are) in the limo/executive-car business and as funeral-home hearses.

I would guess that Caddy's higher volume SUV's and CUV's sell well in most areas of the U.S. due to the popularity of the segments. Their sedans on the other hand sell in such small numbers these days they are a rare site just about anywhere, including the Midwest where I live.

I actually like the body shape on the red car, even though the front has shades of Ford Fusion and other econocars. Need to see more of it to determine.
Still not a fan of the center stack. It's more of an odd diamond shape.

2020 Cadillac CT4 revealed in non-V form
Super Cruise is available
Cadillac is officially showing off the regular CT4 luxury sport sedans. They actually don't look all that different from the V, though - especially the CT4 Sport trim. The Luxury and Premium Luxury trims are distinguished by less aggressive ground effects and a grille studded with chrome pieces shaped like the Cadillac logo. The interior is similar, too, complete with an 8-inch touchscreen. Super Cruise will be made available on the CT4 later in 2020, including on the V model.
Really, the big news is the powertrain as V6 engines have been dropped entirely from Cadillac's compact sedan. The base CT4 engine available in Sport or Luxury trim cars is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Coupled to either rear- or all-wheel drive, it features cylinder deactivation and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Unlike in the old ATS, a manual transmission is not available. One notable mechanical difference between trims is the Sport trim gets standard Brembo brakes.
Moving up from the 2.0-liter engine is the turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder introduced on the CT4-V. Available on the Premium Luxury trims, its output is downgraded to 309 hp and 348 lb-ft of torque from the CT4-V's output of 325 hp and 380 lb-ft. It too has cylinder deactivation and can be had with either rear- or all-wheel drive. The only transmission offered is a 10-speed automatic. The V model also gets Brembo brake upgrades, and with rear-wheel drive includes Cadillac's magnetically controlled adaptive suspension.
Cadillac will start taking orders for the CT4 later this year, but pricing has not been announced yet.

Based on looks alone, this is no better than "pleasant." So what will happen is what has happened to all modern Cadillac sedans: It will get lost in the competition, become dated quickly, be heavily discounted, and run the risk of being discontinued and/or gain another name change. There is no breaking of Cadillac's track record here. The CT4 does nothing to change the current lack of flow into dealerships. After all these years and failed sedan attempts, you'd think someone with some education would drag Cadillac out of their rut by now.

besides the rwd proportions, it reminds me a bit of an accord.

After GM's recent actions, any new sedan is a cheerful and welcome sight. 
Not quite my cup of tea, sedan-wise (RWD and probably too stiff-riding), but looks like it should do well against the King of the segment......the BMW 3-series.

I'll withhold any further comments until I actually see it, but, on paper, it looks like a nice domestic-badged competitor to not only the 3-series but the C-Class and A4. It also, for those to whom "Buy American"" is an issue, will be built at GM's Lansing, MI plant.

Until Cadillac can prove otherwise, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt that this will be anything other than a mediocre, or maybe even "good", entry in the class, without leading the class.

Well, we will find out when the car is introduced. As with its upcoming CT5 brother, I plan at least a static-review and test-drive, if not a full review. I also invite you to go look at it for yourself, there at the Philly Auto Show or one of the dealerships.

Cadillac CT4 and CT4-V pricing revealed, starts just under $34,000
The V lands in the mid $40s
The Cadillac CT4-V had its big reveal in Detroit several months ago, and last month we finally saw the regular CT4. Today, Cadillac has pricing available for every CT4 trim level including the V.
The entry-level CT4 Luxury with rear-wheel drive will start at $33,990, including the destination charge. Adding all-wheel drive requires another $2,600, bringing the total to $36,590. Cadillac also throws in heated front seats and a heated steering wheel when you opt for the all-wheel drive model. The CT4-V comes in at $45,490 before options — on the V, the up-charge for all-wheel drive is only $1,100.
Cadillac offers two trims in between the base Luxury and more powerful V-Series: Premium Luxury and Sport. The Premium Luxury is priced from $38,490, and the Sport is a tad bit more expensive at $39,590. All-wheel drive is even more expensive ($3,200) in the Premium Luxury, as it adds cooled front seats on top of the heated seats and steering wheel. The cooled seats aren’t included with the Sport all-wheel drive package, so it’s the same $2,600 charge as in the Luxury model.
Every CT4 but the V comes standard with Cadillac’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed transmission handles the shifting. Go for the much more expensive CT4-V, and you get the 2.7-liter turbo four that makes 325 horsepower and a whopping 380 pound-feet of torque. This engine is exclusively mated to a 10-speed automatic.
