300-hp FWD nose-heavy V8 just seems like a bad idea for a "sports sedan".  :tounge:

Were the 4th and 5th generation Seville's marketed as sport sedans?

The Seville was always intended to be the more "European" of the Cadillacs, with varying degrees of success. The first gen Seville was actually both the sportiest of the Caddies and the most expensive car in the lineup for those years. Arguably, it was also the most American.

I don't think they ever went right out and called it a sport sedan, the marketeers used the "touring" moniker more often.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

They could have used a Caprice or extended Corvette platform for this thing!  :lol:

Touring always makes me think of a station wagon. Damn you, BMW!!! :tounge:

If we're talking about the Seville generation 3 to 5, yes. But for 1 and 2, there is no substitute for this harmonious, almost perfect and elegant design.  :praise:

My uncle had a 3rd generation and I thought it was a great looking car.  Not many small cars had a V8 (although not much horsepower) and it looked pretty distinctive to me.  The tires were nice and fat too.  It didn't sell very well but is my favorite.

I don't like the downsized and "squished" GM products from the '80s like the 3rd generation Seville for example. It just appears so "shrunken down". The 1st and 2nd generation are just perfect in my opinion. Stately, elegant and they even a hue of sportiness to them, just a hue.
