MotorWeek could go back to this exact format and I would love it.

@austinfrazier7325

GM has been “reorganizing” for the past 50 years😂

@DrizzleDarth

This man got a helmet on for a 17.9 sec 1/4 mile

@SuperBooboo02

this is what happens when the gov't tells you how to build a car...anemic V8s...and now we have nothing but gross nasty, front drive suv boxes, and too big pickup trucks that cost what a house did then..

@TheBrowncoat2112

Remember when 155hp out of a V8 was “healthy”? How times have changed.

@RSmith-fb4sf

if her 80s hair can fit in the car, i'm sold

@pdennis93

That generation Eldorado looked like a dressed up Cutlass Calais

@brettcannon74

Worst dashboard maybe ever, also, its 1988 and wiper and cruise still on the dash?

@ouch1011

Ah, the fringe on that jacket. I remember those days

@rudiknaus4139

Nice, but the 1991 is the best choice for this series..🇺🇸

@ericervin4778

Love the Pointer sister. LOL. 😀

@Chitwn81

And to think; all Cadillacs today focus on beating BMW and Audi and Mercedes so its Recaro seats, analog gauges, side bolsters, firm handling, and 660hp monster v8 engines in the V-series Blackwing. All the things John Davis, and other reviewers complained about 30 years ago which forces Cadillacs hand, and Cadillac is no better off really. Luxury has long been gone since the demise of the dts and xts. Sure, they get respect in the horsepower community but we wish for a soft riding Eldorado or Fleetwood Brougham with cushy seats that can take the pressure off aging spines and backs.

@Lrules364

It's pretty crazy to me that the Quad 4 was putting down more horsepower than a v8 caddy at the time. No wonder so many people opted for that option. Even the 3800 v6 in the toronado was putting down better numbers with less cylinders. For shame.

@fransb8543

155hp from a 4.5 liter. But a big wallop of torque for wafting along.

@GoodBeat101

I would still get the Lincoln Mark VII LSC.

Had a 90 Eldo in that champagne color with a brown cloth carriage top. My aunt ordered it that way. I drove it from 25k miles when I got the car from her and ran it to almost 190k miles and sold it. Wasn’t a bad car except I was never the biggest fan of the smaller Eldo. Ran great and everything worked well. That review was a throwback for me.
