US News didn't even list a Cadillac. Is their largest offering similar to the Malibu?
Aside from an SUV, they do not make a larger sedan any more, in the US. They used to make a CT6 which was close to Impala size, but on a different chassic (and RWD). Before that they made the XTS which was akin to the Impala, FWD, same chassis. The CT5 is not like a Malibu at all, RWD or AWD.
FWD offers a lot of advantages for anyone who doesn't want to drive that hard and needs room. I test drove an Impala for a day back when we bought the 2014 CTS, it was too "floaty" for us. It had a lot of room in side and trunk space though.
To spend near $100 K on any sedan today pretty much means a performance vehicle of some sort. You can hit that with an SUV fairly easily.
I would like a convertible but I fear those days are past. My wife of course wants something higher up with earsier egress. That eliminates anything "sporty" except some SUVs. I paid around $31500 for the GTI Autobahn, seems like a real bargain now. Hopefully, we'll keep it a while longer. I'd rather spend money on travel. We drive about 6,000 miles a year, so a fancier car really makes little sense to me. We'd hit 60,000 miles when it's ten years old in 2028.
(If I park on a slope, I too have difficulty on egress, so I don't usually do that.)
