@UFCextra You say what you want about the 75-79 Seville but if GM had actually poured a little money into it's development it might actually have been a world class car. Writers and the such have tried for years to make the generation 1 Seville a modern classic but time and time again the public say no, ie. the prices of these cars are still less than half of the cars original cost.
@carguysn that dude is a fool. i would LOVE that 79' Seville in my garage !!! that is in NO WAY like a caprice. Better materials, Italian leather, Cadillac grills. That 79 Seville is AWESOME...but the newer caddys are better than the old ones without a doubt hands down
the Seville used a highly modified version of the GM X-body so it had more in common with a Nova, Camaro and Firebird than anything else, the first gen Seville was not badge engineered, it shared no parts with a Nova, except the trunk floor, and was the first american car with a standard EFI system (based on the Bosch Jetronic systems popular in european imports).
The Seville was just as differentiated from the compacts as DeVille was from full sizers at the time
I love Cadillac's, my favorite cars of all time.
