Caddy. And they were nice driving cars too for the period. At a time before GM forgot how to to make cars with CAR-ness ... Soul.
Millennials just don't know how.
In the years since, Cadillac started making cars with manual transmissions, RWD, and a string of 400+ HP V8s, including supercharged and hot-V twin-turbo engines.
But the malaise-era, 200ish HP FWD Cadillac on a platform shared with Buick and Oldsmobile is the one with
soul?
To the topic: Cadillac was the flag-bearer for FWD V8s, using the layout almost exclusively from the mid-80s to well into the 2000s. Starting in the mid-80s with the GM-corporate C-body, E-body, and K-body, which was available with the 4100, 4500, and 4900 single cam engine, all of which were hot garbage. Eventually, a move to the 4.6L DOHC Northstar came, which was
also hot garbage (to start, at least). Then they went to the G-body, which again had a 4.6L Northstar in Cadillacs, but pretty much all the kinks had been worked out by this point. The Allente was in there at some point too, with a FWD V8 in 4100, 4900, and Northstar, depending on year.
