Given that if you take this exact car and swap an LT1 into it you get the Camaro, he isn't entirely wrong. Which also explains why the Mustang and Challenger keep jumping the Camaro (it's too small); but that's a rant for a different day.

If this were called a Chevelle, it'd be criticized for not being a "real" Chevelle because it would have lacked a V8; not been as big as the older cars; and lacked retro styling reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s cars. In many ways, a new Chevelle like the one described in the video could have experienced the same cold reception as the 2004-06 Pontiac GTO.

At no point does he actually give the brand flak for building the car this way, he just says that it has the wrong badge on it to sell with the target demographic that would have been interested in it. it's not "This isnt a real cadillac", its "The people buying cadillacs will see it that way and those that like these cars won't want a cadillac." As others have pointed out, the Chevelle SS wouldn't have been a good choice either, but the Buick GNX would have been excellent.

It’s not so much the age demographic that’s the issue, sedans have been decreasing in popularity for years, Ford killed off its sedan line up to make CUVs and SUVs, naturally Lincoln would have to fall in line.

the problem with chevelle is that it isn’t a muscle car name. chevelle was just the name of the mid size car for chevy. yes the ss was a muscle car but the chevelle itself wasn’t. But i think the malibu name has gotten a little tired and renaming chevy’s midsize car back to chevelle could harken back to the 60’s. I think it makes sense to have this car as a cadillac. they know it wouldn’t sell very well as a chevy because want stereotypical american is going go want a twin turbo v6 with a small trunk. most people just want something that gets them and their friends there without hassle. So put it with a brand that has lower sale volume to make it look better and at the same time put a “luxury” interior and make a bunch of profit. on each car instead of less money as a chevy

You're hitting on a point that I've discovered recently. It seems old names are subject to revisionist history. When you hear "Chevelle," you think of the powerful, big-block muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s, not the name of Chevrolet's midsize sedan line, the majority of which had inline-sixes or lower-displacement V8s. That name carries all sorts of expectations that, if a car were to use it and fall short of those expectations, people will see it as a pretender, rather than a true successor.

But look at it this way: after trying for 40 years, they finally made a small Cadillac that does not suck. Seville, Cimarron, Catera, the BLS, all failed as small entry level Cadillacs. It even has a sporty version which does not suck. Too bad it has to compete with BMW who has not been failing with their entry level car for 40 years and thus has gained brand recognition. No way Cadillac could match that out of the gate. Even the CTS took three generations across a dozen years to get good.

"I guess Cadillac did it.... but at what cost?" This single quote hit me. Cadillac, the once glorious brand of Deville, Fleetwood, and Eldorado's, has been beaten to death. Replaced by an American brand with a sense of shame amid an identity crisis. I want my American land yacht, I want my V8 engine and bench seat, and I have a fist full of money. No, I'm not 65yrs old, just an Italian-American millennial that remembers when owning a Cadillac was not only a sign that you made it but a welcome card to the middle class, it was a big deal. Something you took pride in handwashing every Sunday. Sadly it seems those days are long past. So the world is left with a $70k+ Sports Cars to drive on the lunar surface that is the *average* American roadway.
