Cadillac Cimarron
Cadillac Cimarron Overview
The Cimarron was the first post-war compact car offered by the brand, the four-door was developed to compete with similarly-sized premium sedans marketed by European automakers in North America. The flagship offering of the GM J platform, the Cimarron had joined the project just 11 months prior to the J-Cars’ arrival in showrooms, and had very little involvement in the developing the program.
The Cimarron was powered by a 2.5L inline-4 engine that produced 105 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque. It was available with a three-speed automatic transmission. The Cimarron was not well-received by critics or consumers. It was criticized for its poor performance, cheap interior, and lack of luxury features. It was also seen as a betrayal of Cadillac’s tradition of building high-quality luxury cars.
