Cadillac March Sales Feature High Transactions and Exclusivity

Cadillacs are selling on average for 20% more than last year.

Part of the reason for that is the mix.  Escalade sales are up over 100% with a new design, plentiful oil and relatively low fuel prices.  XTS and SRX were over half the total sales, with the ATS and CTS each individually selling fewer cars than the Escalade subtotal.  What does America want?  Big Cadillac SUVs, midsize Cadillac Crossovers, and large Cadillac sedans.
