STORY

The Seville was Cadillac's luxury sedan, first compact and later mid-size. Its fifth and final generation (1998-2004) was front-drive and had the powerful Northstar V8. It was sold as the touring STS and the luxury SLS, and it pushed Cadillac toward a more European, performance-oriented image. It was retired after 2004 and effectively replaced by the rear-drive STS.
