Emissions regulations increasingly demanded engines spew a lower volume of toxic chemicals from their exhausts. Shortly thereafter Cadillac gained Touring as a sporty trim in 1982 for the Eldorado, introduced the compact economical Cimarron in 1983, and in 1988 invented the Allanté convertible to take on the Mercedes SL.
