I gave my teen my Cadillac for High School. It’s a CTS Sedan so pretty easy to drive.
She was surprised no one else has a Cadillac mainly boring Tesla’s, Wranglers, Audis, BMWs and G-Wagons Given all her friends who have driven in it like it a lot, but none have ever driven in one what the heck is going on? Or is it mere thought of being in an American car other than a Jeep wrangler is unknown to young kids. BTW car is in great shape but it is 13 years old so I did not buy her one it was my oldest car i owned I passed on |

Are you really this dense?
Caddies are expensive, that’s why young people don’t drive them. Lol@teenagers driving a caddy. |

| Used Cadillacs are a great deal, just like some other luxury cars favored by old peopel (Lincoln sedans) |

Yes, boring Audi's and BMW's  ... Old "Caddies" are old people cars, that's why. Some of their newer models are appealing to younger folks, but by younger they mean line 50 years old

| Some of the new Cadillacs are pretty nice. Beats seeing yet another BMW/Audi/Merc on the road. |

| Some kids DGAF what kind of car they drive. As long as it runs they’re good. |

| There is a Cadillac in the student lot at my son’s school. Makes me chuckle and happy for that kid. |

My question it seems to be popular. I let my other daughter drive it before for two years. And she said lots of guys ask about her car. It stuck out in college parking lot. My question is it seems every 17-20 year old kid gets a kick out of going out in Cadillac. Mind you it is a Black Cadillac Sedan. I thought it be embarrassing to them. But why don’t more kids have them? The 10-15 year old ones are pretty cheap. They depreciate. And very reliable and safe. The other kids have BMWs, Audis, Mercedes in her HS and they are way more expensive to fix. |

People don't value buying American anymore. Unless, like Tesla used to, before Elon wacked out, the product makes other people envious.
People feel clever dumping on the American auto industry instead of appreciating how important it is to our economy, our military security, our technological advancement, supporting the advertising business, big money small businesses (dealerships) in small-town America, etc. The Cadillac Escalade is very successful with celebrities. That is probably the coolest model to a large number of consumers at this time. But DC is actually still more of a sedan market than other places. A big part of selling luxury is just perceived prestige. American brands got smoked by the Europeans in the 1990s and haven't recovered. It's funny to me that some cars that are perceived as luxury here are mass market in Germany...but branding by nature is more emotional than logical. I'm glad for your kid. She'll get to enjoy driving something unique. |

PP. FWIW, the average age of new car buyers is in the 50s for almost all makes and models. Boomers and Gen-X are most likely to have the money to pay for them.
Cars are expensive because they keep adding new safety technology and innovations like 300 mi range. Close in DC has some of the richest people in the US, which is why you would see more young-ish drivers in luxury cars. |
