The only car out of the ones you mentioned with a solid reliability rating is Porsche - namely 911’s.

I grew up with Cadillac’s . interior quibbles (namely the Tech GUI) aside the driving dynamics are not remotely in the same universe of what was produced from ....umm ever... Mattter of fact, those who want plush riding BarcaLounger’s would likely be turned off.

I previously owned 2 DTS; 1 Escalade myself. Currently have a CTS Vsport in the stable as well. It’s a bonafide sleeper.
If I include all the VAG products individually, it's closing in on 20 cars in about 20 years (23 if you include Ducati). Nothing remotely significant - ever. And that's adding in the BMW/Mini side - this isn't to be argumentative, but I wouldn't get out of bed to drive a Cadillac...or GM product.

Why switch from something you've personally had good experience with? I know I won't - but that's just me.
