"...semantics are standing in the way of the most important Cadillac in decades being eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit...because it isn't technically an SUV per the government’s antiquated definition, it's too expensive to qualify.

"The Lyriq misses on all of those fronts...All-wheel-drive, dual motor examples of the Lyriq are set to begin deliveries later this year, but those supposedly don't pass the arcane SUV sniff test."
