Cadillac may have been doing a much better job of competing with the big German luxury brands in recent years, but the biggest push to shift the brand into a more European-dominated segment is yet to come. A total of eight more new models will be hitting showrooms by the end of the decade, with five of those aimed at entirely new segments.
