Manual transmission (short throws, easy clutch, good length to each gear).
Very responsive steering and placement (steering is slightly heavy, but connected and feels good to maneuver)
Throaty exhaust note, nice customization on power output.
Excellent torque and low end speed
Exponentially cheaper (with all options) than rivals, and rated higher in almost all areas.
Great, bolstered seats.
Given the V history, a 6mt that's taken care of likely holds its value and perhaps becomes a collectors car.
.
I feel Cadillac is picking up where BMW left off in the enthusiast market: the cars are well styled to the point where I believe they will age well. They are focussed in dynamics and power while still offering a luxury feel.
Good job caddy.
For me, it's a toss-up between my two most disliked automotive trends.
1. "Would you like the matte gray, the gloss gray, or the metallic gray? We also have a dark gray if that's your thing."
And:
2. "We have some great wheel designs if you opt for the performance package. We have black, gloss black, matte black, and competition black. It goes well with the all black interior package...which is standard for any trim above the base model."
I have had cloth and leather interiors both black and light (tan or grey).
I’ll take cloth in either color before leather, you are right. It’s funny growing up in Arizona - leather and heated mirrors/seats/wheels never invoked a sense of luxury or upgrade to me. They were unnecessary add ons that increased priced.
AC seats - now I’m listening.
And I lived in flagstaff a few years and we have a cabin outside show low too… so the heated stuff still makes no sense. I’ve never grabbed a wheel and thought - this should have heat.
>the all black interior package...which is standard for any trim above the base model."
audi really kills me with this, most of their S/RS lineup is black or red interior only.
oh definitely, the red interior looks great & keeps their cars in contention for me... decision would just be a lot easier if i could get an sq5 with brown or cream leather for instance.
I'm getting a bright colored car the second I can financially afford it, my white impreza is so boring. I want a nice bright blue or yellow or something.
Yeah that’s the only reason I haven’t bought one, and I was so excited to hear a refresh was coming. We’ll see what happens, might just save some money and go with a Mustang if reviews are good
MSRP is decently available on CT4 BW. The CT5 BW is much harder to find at sticker, but likely not impossible. Base V models you can probably get some cash on the hood these days.
They added supercruise as an option on the CT5 BW (with the auto) but not the CT4 BW. I would actually consider the automatic model if supercruise was available for it.
I did not know that the manuel Blackwing (which is more than a second slower than auto) thet beat M5 CS on track was wearing only Pilotsport 4s while M5 had Cup 2 tires. Track perfomance is straight bonkers on this thing.
Looks amazing but it irks me how every performance model or trim is so far out of financial reach for most people. Instead people are struggling to buy hybrid Rav 4's.
Since there's only like 4 Crown Vic NYC taxicabs left in service or something like that, I nominate the CT4V in this yellow to take the starring for a new Taxi movie.
Really shame that yellow wouldn’t be available in Camaro, as it’s going to discontinue next year. Yellow is considered one of iconic colors for Camaro.
I kick myself every day when I coukd have got one and got a new pickup instead. They’ve gone up like 20k since then and rates have too plus to actually get one..
I shit the bed and wiped with the sheets.
I do, too; they deserve a high-five.
At this point, colors of any kind are abnormal, and colors other than red and blue are downright rare. I see any kind of orange, green, purple, yellow and I'm glad someone's keeping color and variety alive.
Honestly maybe. The M3 gets way to much hate for how cool it is. Any manual sedan with some real Hp is okay in my book. I’m torn between a 5v, M3 or a 392 wrangler.
The nose has definitely grown on me, last time I saw an M4 in person I thought it looked pretty great honestly. The grill situation is definitely the worst part of the design but overall it’s a nice thing to look at
i’m in the same boat, the snout isn’t nearly as jarring to me as it used to be. i’m a huge fan of the rear shoulder line and everything else is just a wonderful design imo (except the big bumps on the hood but that’s just collateral damage from the ginormous nostrils).
that being said i’m team 4VB and i got my sights set on one in a year or so. gotta pay down the student loans first and adjust to a new job in a new state but i’m confident i can make it work.
Thanks for the laugh, the example Cadillac you provided is 2 generations ago and not even the predecessor to the CT4 and there’s still more family resemblance that those
Mustard gold yellow is certainly a colour.
Oh and now we get THREE Blackwing badges? I only got one, when these are cancelled were going to have one on every body panel.
Really love the cars Cadillac has been coming out with. I recently drove an Escalade v, I’m not a fan of the Escalade but the V is a completely different animal. It’s not worth what some are selling for, but definitely a great car if you can get one at MSRP.
