Built to directly compete with the Caddy of that era.
I like their looks.
I had a 95 Caddy for several years and bought another when I moved to Texas 10 yrs ago. Kept it five years. Got tired of doing electronics repairs on it.

I bet your amount of electric repairs are nothing compared to my POS Tahoe.
I did most all of them myself except I sent the instrument panel out to get rebuilt. Yes the instrument panel. They used poor quality servo motors for the gauges and they started failing one at a time. That happened when it was 2 years old.

2023 Audi S3 - Navarra Blue with grey leather interior. Just turned 4k miles. Love the car, got the 6yr warranty and have a friend who was master mechanic for Audi and now is on his own. Small size is perfect for me after going blind in my right eye from work accident 6 years ago.

4.5 years ago needed a new car.
Did the research and discovered that the VW Tiguan was 3rd in its class. After driving the 1st 2, a Volvo and something else, settled on the Tiguan because it was $20k less (but with a little more road noise).
We don't drive that much so the car has only 29,000 miles.
It's been an excellent car but the dealer (Lithia) not so much.

Every day is a 2006 Ford F150. Occasionally a 79 Ford Rachero GT 400. Working on a 1969 Dodge Cornet convertable, that one is getting a new engine and tranny.

That is the engine that is going in the Cornet. I got to build it myself.

Awesome car to build. Believe it or not they had some old police cars that were that model in California when I was there in 83. They didn’t use them….they just kept them in the motor pool and used them in parades

So far I am VERY satisfied with my current vehicle.
It is a 2017 Subaru Forester. As of today I only have 238,000 miles on it.
