Mike Simcoe calls SUVs a 'necessary evil' but says that a sedan is coming 'at some point in the future'
Mike Simcoe, the VP of Global Design at GM says that sedans aren't dead. He expects Cadillac to bring an electric one to the mainstream market in the future. At the same time, he called SUVs a necessary evil. Sedans aren't dead. Those words out of the mouth of an everyday layman wouldn't mean much considering the state of the market. Several car companies have greatly reduced their sedan production. Others have removed them from the portfolio altogether.
While he didn't specifically say that the sedan would be electric his setting indicates just as much. Cadillac is exclusively selling its electric lineup, the Lyriq, Optiq, and Escalade iQ in the nation. Those SUVs might not be as engaging as something like the Holden Maloo but they're an important part of Cadillac's future in Australia. SUVs are a necessary evil, Mr Simcoe, said. They've taken over the market … a comfortable, rational purchase, he continued.
