Notes: Catera came out for one last season in 2001, its fifth in
the American market. The rear brakes were ventilated. Never very
successful, the Catera was burdened with recalls and image problems.
When Cadillac replaced it with the new CTS sedan as an early 2003,
it switched to Stateside production and dropped the Catera label.
