oh my god thats incredible, weighs less than a 5 series, yet its the size of a 7 series, has a better interior than a 5 series, and its cheaper... damn. looks amazing.
+justin bouche paid for with your tax money. socialism for the rich works wonders when the tax payer has to bail out a company for making mistakes and the managers still get to keep there million dollar salaries.

justin bouche search youtube for.....American Drean Federal Reserve Animation......
hyylo do you resist the power of the bernie?
on a serious note, if chrysler and GM did not take the bail out ford would have, its simple really, ford could not keep the local manufacturing companys (like shape and man power) going and they would have folded along with fords deals. ford waited for the other two to take the bail out, then they breathed a sigh of relief. either way, GM paid back what they barrow years ago, on the other hand chrysler has not and it took fiat buying them to come to a deal.
GM paid it back faster than they agreed to, they are now #2 biggest manufacture world wide, they hire more Americans than any other automotive manufacturer, and they have the only luxury brand that comes close to the germans in technology, features, quality, and performance.
the real issue is that the federal reserve bank controls they money supply. search youtube for......Zeitgeist federal reserve....
Wherever you drove your Cadillac, I live there too. It's a very nice road to test drive any car on that drive.
Cadillac is like the Babe Ruth of automakers right now! everything they've been coming out with since 2010 is a grand slam
+1973charliemarcus ummm no this car is bland..get a genesis
+Nico Blanchard lol true
Daniel Parker rs
LOL! When he first turned around, I thought it was Stephen Hawking.
Yes Mr. Cole a 4.2 TT V8 is on the way! Made me respect this car when I heard that!
+PremierAutoMan86 I think the 4.2 will be natural aspirated.
+Xtwonine www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a25095/the-cadillac-ct6-will-get-a-twin-turbo-v8/
+Xtwonine NO its a twin turbo 4.2l v8 (pushrod)
+Sinister C-pot The TT V8 is not going to be a pushrod engine...
+PremierAutoMan86 The Northstar is making a comeback with two turbos.
Appreciate your dedication bro
Pretty damn sure this is not a direct competitor to the 7, LS or S. It is slightly smaller than them, and priced accordingly, at under $55k to start. They don't offer 4-bangers, either. The ATS and CTS have been sales duds, but I like the market approach here. It hits it where they ain't. Flagship size and kit for a tweener price. A good value
+Bitcoin Video University "They don't offer 4-bangers, either." - yeah, too bad for them and their customers.
And actually you can get a 4-pot diesel S Class.
+Bitcoin Video University Unfortunately, GM has never quite grasped competing with vehicles in terms of size. But this more closely matches the standard wheelbase models, though I don't think the S class comes with a "shorter" wheelbase anymore. Sounds good, but I wonder how well this will sell though, considering it doesn't have a V8. Regardless of how the 4-cylinder or V6 engines perform, luxury buyers just "need" to have at least a V8.
+banstaman "luxury buyers just 'need' to have at least a V8" - well, that's a pretty backwards thinking. That 2L 4-pot probably has more power than most V8 engines ever built. And S Class definitely is available in SWB, but CT6 more likely competes with something like LWB E Class.
Again, even if it performs better than V8 engines, buyers here wouldn't buy it because it isn't a V8 since cylinder count is a status symbol here.
+banstaman Yeah, I know, I'm just saying that it's backwards and that it shouldn't be endorsed :P
Black Cadillacs are always nice
haha he said "You virtually need a master's degree in computer science to adjust the presets of the radio on the S class" which is so true!! I totally agree with you on that one +Auto Guide
That rear view camera mirror should be STANDARD on every car with decreasing visibility on cars now adays
This is not a review, but an infomertial
+Tomasz Dominikowski Yeah, I'm missing some critique... quite a bit, actually.
Info-mertial? "Mertial"?
The man said he and showed he was sick at the time he reviewed this car. He even said he had to re-edit and do a voiceover.
NITTY103166
The title says "Review" and this is not a review.
+Tomasz Dominkowski: Actually, this is a review. The OP gave the basic specs, price, driving experience and even compared some items to other competitors. You may not like his delivery style or that he praised Cadillac and the other products they make but that's something different altogether. All in all this was a pretty standard TH-cam review, on a car that someone had a limited time with.
Tell me, what do you think a car review consists of?
much better looking than the mercedes s, sexier
The CT6 is NOT designed to compete with the BMW 7-Series, Audi A8, or nonetheless the Mercedes S-Class. Cadillac has said numerous times that the CT6 is not supposed to compete in that class. However, they are creating a super-luxury sedan to take on those cars. For now, its the flagship. But its no where near the finest Germans.
Arnold Rojas you wish. They are just trying to be diplomatic. This car is on par with the 7 series and s class. They Dare greatly
I want that rear view mirror. Genius
Hey great video ! I'm glad you're feeling better Does it have heated and cooled seats ? ( in the front and back ?) Do the rear seats recline ? Thank you
+ngb802 Hi. I'm sure it has heated and cooled seats. Hell, my 2008 CTS has that. As for the rear seats, you can see the controls at 3:45 on the arm rest. The description for Platinum package's rear seats is "Seat, rear bench, 40/20/40, ventilated, 8-way power articulating".
If I was American I would buy Cadillac. New Cadillacs are good. But I'm European so I would buy European car. Americans buy good Japanese cars made in USA, but really for American economy Americans should buy good American cars. (I say good American cars, not bad like some...). Germans buy good German cars. France buy French cars. Japan buy Japanese cars but Americans buy Japanese cars for some reason (ok I know good quality but come on! This is not 1980 and American cars are good now).
+Neo Hideo That's nonsense. Why would you limit yourself for no reason? Do you realise that the Cadillac has plenty of European parts in it?
+AoyagiAichou because cars are big money big bussiness and if you support your country and your people you will eventually get richer yourself, I'm not talking about being stupid and supporting bad products from your country, there are good American cars now
+Neo Hideo Ah, the American logic: "The handful of billionaires that own 90% of the country mean that I'm rich"... right? Not to mention Europe is not a country. Oh, and again, car industry is extremely interconnected.
+Neo Hideo I agree.
Problem is that the most American car company by percentage of American parts in it is Toyota, and that in Europe we drive mostly European cars because neither American nor Japanise manufacturers make as good diesel engines as European and we love diesels.
I've never been drawn towards any Caddy models in the recent past but their new models are looking really good.
Wow. Great job Cadillac!!! The brand has come so far and is doing great all things considered. I am very impressed. I think this CT6 will do great especially with the entry price point. Reading between the lines and watching interviews makes me think Cadillac will go even bigger than this model something like a CT7 or CT8 in the future. When it comes to repair cost I would GLADLY take the Cadillac over any German car any day. The ATS, CTS and V series models are all impressive and competitive . Go Caddy go!!!
The no knobs thing is a killer. They need that back. They can still make highly appointed detail there and not look cheap. The radio volume to slide is a pain in the ass. Still a beautiful looking car.
This was a pretty damn obvious advert, didn't say a single negative
+Onoff314 it's a first drive. almost all first drives have only positive things. once they do a full review you can be sure they'll have some criticisms.
I really enjoy ur colorful reviews.
It's a shame that the CT8 project got shot down....
I guess the CT8 was the one that was supposed to have the V8.
Would be awesome to see some automotive news and updates presented like this. Something for the times between reviews and car shows but with a little bit more depth than the onslaught of two and a half minute videos.
Wireless charging is a great upgrade, my 2013 550 seems pretty archaic in comparison but I prefer the MB engine, and size. I'd be surprised if the CT6 really compares in interior volume
No. You drive an old ass 2013 Benz because you think its gives you status. But what everybody knows is that RICH people have moved on to Bentley and Rolls Royce. Mercedes is SOOOO 80's and 90's. Since everyone knows middle class people drive benz, YOU might as well drive an infinity and save yourself some money. Youre not slick.
No, I drive the best I can afford. There are a lot of MBs on the road but that speaks to quality. YOU ought to stick to whatever transportation chumps use to get around.
WOW Im diggin this...didnt seem all that impressive until I watched. Great price, efficient, much more intuitive and the lack of needlessly complex tech. This is amazing. Im sure the Turbo 6 is probably the drivers choice for a good front/rear weight balance even IF a V8 wouldve been offered.
Thanks for the incredible video! I definitely think that Cadillac has a serious winner on their hands as the CT6 will really be able to draw the attention to the younger target audience that they've been aiming at for quite a while.

@autoguide @1:19 you guys know how to pick your music. Great choice!
Good job Cadillac! Finally a car that is not only as good as its German rivals, but in many ways, even better! Now only if Lincoln could get their shit together and make a car this good.
fantastic interior
that Cadillac look super F IN hot in and out .. !! ;-) I Love it
I Don't mind Cole.... But His Story of loosing his voice at the Auto show made it sound like he serviced alot of men to get the inside scoop for his fans. If That is true? You do us all a service with your throat Cole.
To be honest, the reason why Cadillac doesn't sell that well is because of the association it has with GM. The target market are 40 somethings and up that have a unique and acquired taste in material goods. The name Cadillac sounds so ancient, that most people who are in the market don't even bat an eye. If Cadillac can become it's own and a sovereign brand, I think it may be able to compete with the luxury giants of the automotive world. And one more thing to note, when I see a new Cadillac, all I see driving the cars are old men and women who buys the cars just because it's a local Cadillac dealership down the street.
Craig Cole one of the best reviewers in the business...
why do people keep complaining about them not offering a V8. the car doesn't need one because it is A THOUSAND POUNDS lighter......HELLO!!!!! Its lighter than the 5 series. Lets get the performance numbers before we criticize.
also a 4.2L TT V8 has been announced with hp in the upper 400s
Cadillac knows how to listen to customers
I seen one today!!!!! beautiful! !!!!!
March? They're already at the railheads for delivery. I'll see if it is still their tomorrow.
Nice surface clean set up!
craig cole just hit puberty haha lol
What were they thinking not giving this a V8? As soon as I hear a big car doesn't have a V8+ its a deal breaker, I don't care if a V6 is making 400hp + now, a V8 is making more.
Is magnetic ride standard even on the base model or do you have to pay extra?
Great commentary!
the CT6 is not Cadillac's flagship, it's their flag bearer until their true flagship, THE CT8, arrives later
Why couldn't they run the front LED's all the way into the bottom/fog lights? Safety issue?
unfortunately you started off the review wrong by stating this is Cadillacs flagship. That's where the CT7, CT8 or CT9 come in. Cadillac themselves have even stated this is not the flagship but instead the flag "holder" for now.
The s class is 206 long so is the 7 series and the ct6 is 204 so it’s not that great of a size difference
I wood drive this Cadillac CT6.the CT 6 little big but I will dive the s..t out of the Cadillac CTS with the 3.6 I love the 2014 Cadillac CTS it got to have the 3.6 in it
when discussing engine choices, why make a cut to the stats of the twin turbo 6 cylinder when you havent even began talking about it? Not a big deal but I noticed it and it irks me alot
I love Revenge of the Nerds!
Why is it "odd" to find a 2L engine in that car? It can pull the weigh well enough. Since when is having more options odd?
+AoyagiAichou Because most buyers expect a larger engine in a car of this size.
+ChooChooTrain02 And they can get that. Again, what's wrong with having that option?
AoyagiAichou Really, nothing. I'm not against it anyway. A lot of buyers will find it weird to know that their large luxury car is powered by a 4cyl.
+ChooChooTrain02 And a lot of BMW customers would find it weird if they knew that nice engine sound they hear is coming out of their speakers :P . But yeah, I imagine that much power (relatively, of course) in a 4-pot 2.0L engine is not very uh... traditional. And for some reason (not only) Americans value engines primarily by the cylinder count ._.
AoyagiAichou Most BMW buyers in my area (Vancouver/Richmond, B.C.) are rich Asian immigrants with no clue about cars. They probably think any engine sound is good. They think they don't have to follow road rules because they're driving a German vehicle. Quite literally, 90% of the vehicles I see pulled over are BMWs. Also, a 6cyl. is always going to be smoother than a 4cyl, and an 8cyl is always going to be smoother than a 6. There's an Alex on Autos video explaining why.
Perhaps a CT6-V in the coming years to fit that small block V-8?
Weird. They say it's supposed to compete with a 7-series or an S-class, but the price points are different. I don't think that it needs to, though. Those cars are turning into overweight limos for the eastern markets. The two things I don't like about the CT6 are the steering wheel and the name.
Great looking car the front-end, but the the rear is very plain. The rear-end is too simple in design to be on a flagship sedan from Cadillac.
+huydp Better than VW's overdesigned nonsense :P . Then again, I like the rear of STS and second gen CTS more than of any modern Cadillac's.
+AoyagiAichou I agreed! Cadillac rear designs really didn't spark any emotion to me recently.
I m pretty sure this car is in A6,5 and E level due to the price, GM claimed it is a competitor of S class is just marketing....
It's a great car but it lacks two important things:
- a proper name. I am not sure if "CT6" word has any sense to it. Why it's not fleetwood or something?
- more style. To capture customers' eyes from S class, 7 series, and LS, you need to have a distinctive style. Although I like the way this car looks, it will have hard time flashing enough to get regular luxury buyers to Caddy showrooms
+Nima Bahrehdar I agree with the names. Such a shame... I guess you need random strings of characters to make it easily tweetable or some nonsense like that....
Those look like xj tail lights. At least the grill has a more subdued design.
will we see such features in the next Escalade?
I've always wanted a modern comfortable full size sedan, until the CT6 showed up the only options were the Germans and British (Audi A8, S-Class, BMW 7 series, Jaguar XJ) which are way too expensive, at 65k starting price for the 3.0TT CT6 is a lot cheaper!!
what's on the back of front seats ?? they look like vents !!
Cadillac is straight up punching the Germans in both their eyes with this car!....Cadillac new slogan should be..."Cadillac,the only automanufacturer to successfully challenge the Germans and win".
southdallashogg752 noooo I don't think so...
southdallashogg752 bean counting is a good thing,yes....I understand what you're saying,but my approach is from the angle of performance first followed by resale value and reliability....Cadillac is doing well,especially since they fixed their Que infotainment system.
You must be joking....
Love the car. Now give it an iconic name like Eldorado. Please bring real names back!
Daniel Vieau I miss old name like a fleetwood and de ville series 62
What's the name of the background tune? Thanks!
Nothing like a cts different interior, Different platform, and weight is 600 pounds less i think way better car than the cts.
Did Cadillac bomb that interior after Diseased Craig was in it?
Yall taking about power I thought luxury was about comfort.
i want the old logo back cadi
it isn't their flagship it's just the next xts people
80k for a ct6.... or 80k for a escalade or Corvette...... um no.
Do u know where this car starts?
+Kendall Jackson: Around $54k it was stated in the video.
+Timothy Sutton: Tell us where else you can get comparable equipped/performance vehicles for those prices?
+NITTY103166 oh I knew the price I was asking him because his comment was stupid.
+Timothy Sutton You are clearly a moron.
So the smaller CTS-V has got a V8 but this doesn't?
Wait until the GM Performance team will put the LT4 in it
+Fishfingers232 CTS-V is a performance car. CT6 isn't. But I heard rumours that they are going to introduce some V8 to it. With a turbo, unfortunately, but still better than nothing.
AoyagiAichou I know but I'm just saying, if they can shove a V8 into a car with smaller dimensions, then surely they can put a V8 in the bigger CT6.
+Fishfingers232 He said than an engineer told him that a V-8 would fit. To me that's a pretty good hint. But keep in mind that the buyer of this car is going to be far different than the buyer of a CTS-V. This is a much more comfort oriented car, so smoothness is the name of the game, not speed.

I really like Cadillac, and wish they would do better, but unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, they'll never be liked as much as Mercedes or BMW. Cadillac is an old luxury brand with a lot of heritage just like Mercedes, but it just doesn't carry the prestige that the Germans do. Even if they do produce more luxurious, and better performing cars the badge whores will overlook the better car and the better value. It's all about the badge for some people, and Cadillac just doesn't carry the same amount of prestige.
You like Benz because you think its gives you status. But what everybody knows is that RICH people have moved on to Bentley and Rolls Royce. Mercedes is SOOOO 80's and 90's. Since everyone knows middle class people drive benz, YOU might as well drive an infinity and save yourself some money. Youre not slick.
Who wrote your text, Cadillac? :)))
Great review! But Caddy, please put the rear center headrest. A five passenger car needs fivr headrest. And please bring out the V version for the CT6!
Can’t see the rear window with the headrest in the way.
Its quite a bit cheaper then whats its going to fight against too.
+MrGovenator1 The 5 series A6 and the e-class. they have a bigger long wheelbase sedan coming
Awesome car I just hate the name they should of called it a classic Cadillac name like the Brougham
JuventusFC05 I miss old name fleetwood
How does it compare to the CTS and CTS-V?
+Grman Rodriguez It's basically a bigger CTS with more money thrown into it, maybe with more focus on comfort. CTS-V is something different altogether.
+Re San yes, I did watch the video. And other videos. I also read several articles about it. And I know a little about CTS as well. Another thing I know is that when a marketing guy tells you "It's a brand new thing!", it actually means "It's the same thing with a different twist!"
+Grman Rodriguez The CT6 more of an S-Class and 7 Series competitor. The CTS is more mid-size sedan.
***** Cadillac confirmed there will be no V for the CT6, but there will be A 4.0L or 4.2L TTV8 producing over 450 hp. The Northstar engine may make a comeback.
This VS a "Genesis"?
i think this looks better exteriror wise than the s class but the interior is still cheap compared to mercedes benz
You like Benz because you think its gives you status. But what everybody knows is that RICH people have moved on to Bentley and Rolls Royce. Mercedes is SOOOO 80's and 90's.

it look like the s class from the back

This platform unconventional in resources sourced & used becomes very attributable to that of "re thought & initiations".
think about the various sources of carbons & minerals used that are regulated to whats attainable for assembly use & production.
This premium hallmark brocades boutique perhaps however can't become CTD (CT5) to be wheelbase bec of market & portfolio specific placement.
Some claim no replacement for XTS though it has that criterial objective
What is your B.M.I.?
🤣
It's less than I thought
when u can have this for cheaper than the hyundai equus😂 good luck hyundai. well genesis i should say since the g90 is xoming out
Wow
Yummy, yummy. Me likey this new Caddy.......
it looks like a bauss
Cadillac copied the Genesis G90 taillights
+Guillermo D I hope you're joking. But i know you are so i won't feed you anymore Trolololl
+Andy Zhang Thank you!
This is all Cadillac design language, going on 13 years now with the A&S theme.
Who's buying a 55 thousand dollar 4cyl?
Another wasted effort for a "Flagship"
1. CT6 is a HORRIBLE name!
2. 4cyl and 6cyl engines don't belong in RWD Flagships PERIOD!
3. Exterior styling is forgettable, nothing about it stands out compared to a CTS.
4. Way too much overlap between this and CTS even in terms of pricing.
5. CUE is still there which SUCKS!
A8 and 7 series are miles ahead of this turd!
I wish the name is fleetwood instead ct6
god damn Cadillac just will not give up on CUE....this is one of the reason why the ATSV sucks...don't they listen to customer?!
+trilingualkid Everyone said the same thing about iDrive with BMW. Give it time, it will get better.
ohmywrd a system with no knobs...I seriously doubt it...but again thats my personal preference.
+trilingualkid No, you are right for sure about the knobs. I guess I was referring to the responsiveness and fluidity of the system.
+trilingualkid They do listen. It got much, much better. Faster. Hell, you can see that in the video itself.
AoyagiAichou its not about that fast or fluid, a touch screen will never be as good as twisting a knob...its just take a lot more attention to do it while you are driving, you dont see any major hyper luxury car does it do u? lots of human factor psychology go into it and touch screen on a car is not the way to go...at least on a sport car like ATS-V or CTS-V
good job that man is annoyingly hard to watch or hear. couldn't do it. Had to watch another video. Jesus Christ man.
Mercedes-Benz, BMW,Audi offer a small diesel engine but also offer V8's. Cadillac is playing the China card period. CUE socks period. No knows light it's competitors equals poor sales. Marketing also socks. They offer huge discounts now for all their vehicles except the Escalade. This vehicle will replace the XTS.
u forget the fact the government bought them, and the government has pretty strict emissions guidelines, so they probably told GM no V8s unless they are sport models.
Akeem Perez Emissions are already in check. That is not the issue facing manufacturers. It's fuel efficiency. Lower weight is the holy grail for manufacturing. They just refuse to due it due to crash standards. Now they have to. A V8 is a must in this class. V8's give great fuel economy with modern tech. Just look at the competition. GM paid back their money to us. Government doesn't own them. They even said this is not the flagship their still gonna make C7 C8......XTS replacement this is.
+Dario Molina A V8 at this price point doesn't make sense. the only other brand that would offer a V8 at this price would be an eqqus
Akeem Perez Top of the line Platinum trim level,would be the V8 model not the lower end trim levels. The G90 is expected to top out at the Platinum trim if not lower and offer all that you can get in the top luxury Brands. Not so for the CT6. Also I completely understand the offerings of smaller engines but if your getting the same mpgs as a V8 with the smaller engines it begs the point Why? Emissions noted by the epa are the same. For the money the G90 is the better choice. But this is the XTS replacement not the range topper we Cadillac owners were promised.
+Dario Molina Why are you bringing Audi into the game? Audi is a joke that pretends to be a premium brand while it's just a little upscaled Volkswagen. And CUE doesn't suck period or any other punctuation mark, try actually using it in the new cars.
Stop with your stupid jokes and just review the cars. Show some professionalism .
this car is incomplete without a v8. i4 is a joke
+goddesseddog The old American mentality of needing a 7.0 Liter motor to product 290 HP is over. This engine puts out the same power as the outgoing BMW N63 TT V8 with 2 less cylinders and almost a liter less in displacement. I have a lot to gripe about when it comes to GM but no knocking the motor.
this car is so ugly... old people old people old people
u uglier than the car still you vagabond.
oh im sorry you must be the CEO of GM. You were about to be a vagabond when your company filed for bankruptcy... not my fault you make ugly cars. Lets be honest Cadillac designs cars for older class folks and most people would say so
Mr. Solomon the Jew
I ain't no jew
not what the name Solomon says
