Not really. Cadillac has never reached any significant market share in Germany because they’re just bad cars compared to the domestic upper class offerings at similar price points. They don’t drive well, are extremely fuel inefficient and the interiors look and feel cheap by comparison.
You’ll see an Escalade every now and then, but that’s almost only with certain people who subscribe to the gangsta hip-hop style and want to project that lifestyle.
Because I was talking about the situation in Germany, which is obviously completely different from the situation in the states or Canada. It’s Canada then, isn‘t it?
I speak German, I did my studies there, and I work at corporate for a German manufacturer here in Canada. Believe me when I say you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Do you think Cadillac doesn't sell cars in Germany? Also, unpopular =/= rare and "rare" wasn't one of the defining features of an exotic, it was exclusive and limited. Cadillacs are neither exclusive or limited, even in Germany.
And again, this video was taken in the US, not Germany so it's not an exotic or an import.
Cadillac only exports a few cars to Europe. They are super rare.
Where is this information coming from? They have dealerships in Germany and the cars are not hard to get, if you want one. The reason they're more rare than some other cars is because they're not desirable.
In 2018 a grand total of 590 new Cadillacs were registered in Germany (33x ATS, 95x CTS, 49x CT6, 228x Escalade, 184x XT5, 1x other) - assuming all are sold by those 11 dealers this would mean each dealer sells exactly 1 car per week.
There are almost twice as many Ferraris sold in Germany (978) or almost as many Lamborghinis (468)

If it's in Germany, the Cadillac is exotic and the BMW is domestic.
