Cadillac takes a crack at cylinder deactivation, with less than stellar results.
From the April 1981 issue of Car and Driver.Seems no one wants to ride the range in a Cadillac anymore. The favorite steed of wealthy Texas ranchers and filthy-rich urban cowboys is taking it in the ear. In calendar year 1980, Cadillac sold about half as many cars as it had in 1979. And the prospects for this season are only a little better.Even given America's distaste for big cars, this state of affairs is surprising.
Of course, trying to follow your neighbor's Mercedes down bumpy country roads will set the Cadillac to flopping around—but then again, it was never intended as a driver's car. Its mission in life is to take the pain out of travel, and that it does.
