Maybe we just got caught up in Eminem’s stirring paean to the Motor City. That ad was also partly about the Chrysler 200. Meh. Recent-year Fords have been solid: the Fusion, the radically made-over Taurus. Detroit gets our attention now, however, with this 6.2-liter supercharged V8 (556 horsepower) Caddy. Drinks fuel, of course. (Maybe your other car should be a Leaf.) From 0-60 in 3.9 seconds? Now that’s an American heartthrob.
