STORY

The Catera was a rear-wheel-drive entry-luxury sedan sold from 1997 to 2001, based on the German Opel Omega and marketed with the tagline 'the Caddy that zigs.' It was meant to draw younger buyers to the brand, but reliability problems and a bland image held it back. The CTS later filled its market position far more successfully.
