Lincoln Versus Cadillac You Chose

Back during the 1950s and all the way through the 1980s, 2 Yank top end car brands battled for supremacy. For General Motors, builder of Cadillacs and for the Ford Motor Company, builder of Lincolns, corporate prestige rested upon which automaker sold the most models yearly. For years, a pitched battle was raised till the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. During those years, no one knew for sure who the sales winner was until well into January; that is when the final sales tallies were released. Today, the posh vehicle market has changed dramatically, so much so, that the 2 automakers no longer matters. So, what caused this change? Several things, please read on for the details.

More Competition -- Before the 1980s, Mercedes and BMW were minor players in the posh auto market. Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura were formerly nonexistent brands created in the 1980s by parent Eastern car giants, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda respectively. Add in Audi, Jaguar, Volvo, and Saab and the competition really heats up.

Higher Incomes -- The average American family's income level has exploded during the past two decades, meaning more buyers are choosing luxury brands. Why settle for a Chevy when you are able to afford a Cadillac? Why buy a Cadillac when there are so many other selections for consumers?

American Quality Problems -- Both Cadillac and Lincoln have had their share of quality issues over the years. Brand confusion has reigned too as Cadillac once sold rebadged Chevy Cavaliers as Cimarrons and as so many of Lincoln's models have not managed to capture the imagination of potential buyers. European brands gained in prominence as many of their models were said to be better engineered, better built, more fuel efficient, and just as sumptuous as the American brands.

Cadillac Transforms, Lincoln Wallows -- Although Mercedes and Lexus both outsell Cadillac today, Cadillac has made dramatic enhancements over the last a decade while Lincoln has not. Most Lincoln autos sold today are simply reskinned Fords while Cadillac has been developing and successfully selling new models that are unique to the brand. Most Cadillac products today compare favorably with BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, and Mercedes autos. Most Lincolns do not compare favorably with any other luxury models. All of this has been proved out in the marketplace as Cadillac continually outsells Lincoln by over 2 to 1.

Yes, the posh brand battle has changed way past Cadillac versus Lincoln giving shoppers better vehicles and more choice. While Cadillac has successfully redone its dowdy image, Lincoln hasn't. That, with the heightened competition from foreign makes, spells all the difference in what was once a heated battle for American luxury car supremacy.
