An attempt at fixing this flop of a car:
Cadillac Cimarron
In OTL, the Cadillac Cimarron was produced from 1982 to 1988 and was a failure due to being seen as a cynical cash-grab and attempt to compete with European marques.
In the ATL, I would have marketed it as a Holden - not wearing the Camira nameplate - but another name, and it would have been available with the 1.8-liter/84hp 4-cylinder and 2.0-liter/95hp 4-cylinder engine, and, sourced from Australia, the 3.3-liter/111hp 6-cylinder Blue engine.
The Cimarron was only sold as a sedan - this would have been sedan, coupe and stationwagon.
It would have been available in SL, SL/X, Executive and GT trim levels, with four colors in the palette - bright hues like red, blue, white and gold, and the GT would be available with the 3.3 6-cylinder engine gaining an increase to 142hp. There would also be the SS version, with the 3.3 6-cylinder engine boosted from 142hp to 178hp; it would only have red or black paint colors.
Holden would, ITTL, be available in the U.S, but selling the Holden sedan mentioned above, the Commodore (adapted for U.S. and Canadian standards) and a sporty coupe based on the Camaro/Firebird's F-body platform.
It would fill a niche between Pontiac and Buick, and there'd be Holden-Pontiac-Buick dealers.
