Who killed the Cimarron? (^-^)

[trey]

Looking at this comparison report with the BMW 325e and the Mercedes 190E, the little Caddy comes out not too bad. Even 30 years ago the German car buyer would never have considered a Caddy, regardless of how good it was. Originally conceived as a BMW 320i & Audi 4000 import fighter, on basic specs Cadillac seemed to be in the ballpark, or were they?

It was an X car. The Caddy version of the Chevy Citation and Pontiac Phoenix. When that line died the Cimarron died with the rest.

Cimarron was a J-Body, same as the Cavalier, Sunbird, Skyhawk, etc...

and they died too....

The Cobalt was the last of the J body.
That was 2010.

The Chevy Cruze is the replacement.
Not a bad run for the J body.
