Up until fairly recently, things weren't looking so good for Cadillac. GM's luxury brand was suffering an identity crisis and slowing sales. Its main problems were excellent but less relevant sedans such as the now-discontinued CT6 and crossovers that had difficulty competing against rivals. Fortunately, Cadillac has quickly gotten its act together. The all-new Cadillac XT4 is already a sales success and the XT5 recently received a mid-life refresh. The all-new Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sport sedans are now on sale, both featuring more dynamic styling inside out than their immediate predecessors, the ATS and CTS, respectively.

Because of all of this, GM has just announced it is adding an additional 1,200 jobs at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in order to satisfy a growing demand for its mid-size SUVs and to provide further assistance for the new sedans' launch.
