Happy Saturday everyone! We wanted to clarify a couple of things people have brought up. 1. We filmed this review in April and Cadillac announced the discontinuation of the 2.0T shortly after filming. There is also a rumor floating around that the 3.0TT engine from this review is going to be discontinued on the 2020 CT6, in preparation for upcoming CT5. 2. Cadillac does offer massaging rear seats that are heated and cooled on the Platinum trim. Not sure how we overlooked that but Cadillac also have never sent us a fully loaded Platinum version with that option. 3. Apparently, the CT6-V was sold out but Cadillac has once again opened up the order books for it due high demand. We’re hoping to get our hands on one soon. 4. Lastly, we always loved the Omega and Alpha platform. They are some of the best driving cars on the market. We just want Cadillac to go the extra mile that Lincoln has done to even further differentiate themselves from the rest of the GM lineup. Our criticism of the interior is shown so Cadillac can work harder to make themselves better. We want to see them become the standard of the world again and we know they can do it. There is a huge shakeup happening at Cadillac with two all-new sedans and a fully electric SUV coming soon. Hope that answers some of your questions and thanks for watching!
Respect the hustle and grind. Trust me. But don't upload video reviews if you feel you have to add THIS MUCH clarification or updating. Simply adding most of this in post on the video would of been beyond sufficient enough. Content for contents sake can been seen from a mile away.
Excellent review! I can honestly say that I pretty much agree with everything you pointed out in this review! I love the engineering behind the CT6, and the exterior is quite handsome! But as usual, GM simply can't deliver on a genuine, world-class interior! Which is a shame considering the excellent tech and handling ability! Until they get that interior up to par with the competition, Cadillac will continue to remain a second rate luxury brand!
Oh come on man. It’s so much cheaper than the S Class! Why do people compare it to that car. This is an affordable luxury car. It does very well for its price. It’s all anyone needs. I love that red.
I sold Cadillacs for a year. G.M. always tried to have us sell any sedan as an alternative to the S Class or 7 series. We ignored their approach and sold the vehicle on it's own merit.
You're comparing it solely to the 7-Series and S-Class, but really not taking into account this car starts more than $30K less than those cars and for that much of a price difference, this car is a bargain.
I adore the looks of this cadillac on the outside. but it schould really not be compared with the 7 series or the S class. Maybe the E class... Because i think the CT6's interior looks a bit cheap...
Agreed! Sofyan you should not be reviewing this type of car because you 100% don't understand its market placement. No one is being "driven around" in a CT6. Its a $60k car not a $160k car. Its marketed towards boomers or silent generations who want a bigger plush sedan who would consider XTS (Deville), Acura RLX, K900 (honest), Lexus LS or Continental.
In order to be a bargain, you need to directly compete against the others with a lower price tag. Cutting down the costs and saying "this is a cheaper alternative to those who likes A8, S, 7" is a pointless argument. There is no cheaper alternative to this segment. You just build a worse car and try to find a segment for it. This is not how it works and no other owner would think about shifting to a completetly worse car just because it is cheaper.
mada that’s funny because the CT6 has been outselling the 7-series for the second year in a row since 2018. So apparently the Platinum which has a more luxurious interior is a better alternative to the BMW 7-Series than the Cadillac CT6 Premium Luxury with a Sport package. This isn’t the top of the line CT6. It’s just optioned to look and drive like one.
Agree. Just checked...closest MB dealer has new 2020 S-Class cars starting at $107k US. Not saying this Caddy would be its equal, but how could you expect it to be for $30-40k less?!
So I pointed this out not because I was trying to be a wise guy. Pobody's nerfect. I just thought it was funny. HOWEVER, as much as I love Redline Reviews (big fan), this video does fall a bit short in my opinion. I was particularly disappointed with how the walkthrough of the interior was just sort of all over the place. Please consider editing your walkthroughs so that they seem more cohesive. And Happy Pride everybody!
Psymbob yep it’s here in the guide www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NASApp/domestic/proddesc.jsp?year=2020&butID=1®ionID=1&divisionID=5&vehicleID=21809&type=0
That was a huge oversight on his behalf. Unlike Lincoln, Caddy has kept it's 3.0T in-house. Unavailable anywhere else at GM, as is the entire Omega platform itself.
@@Vic_CruzN91026 , I agree! The boring XT6 should've debuted with the 3.6L TT V6 as the top engine choice to better compete with Lincoln's 3.0 TT. There's also the Impala, which could use a more powerful engine option for an SS model, the LaCrosse, GM's mid-sized pickups, the new Blazer; a lot of GM vehicles should be using that TT 3.6! But Generally (boring) Motors doesn't care for excitement in their products anymore, unless it's a Corvette or Camaro!
ldawson103 True. GM puts the 3.6L V6 in the new 4,440 lbs Cadillac XT6 which is super refined and reliable delivering adequate power (310hp). Reviewers and commentators still complain that it’s not enough power and “typical GM”. GM puts the 3.0L TT V6 in the 4,420 lbs Cadillac CT6 delivering over 400hp. Reviewers still complain it’s not enough power and “typical GM” to put the TT V6 in this vehicle. I’ve learned people are literally going to complain no matter what GM does. Meanwhile, the new BMW X5 is also a 3 row crossover. It weighs 5,000 lbs. Its entry engine is a 325hp 3.0L V6 (only 25 hp more than the Cadillac XT6). Reviewers and commenters have no issue whatsoever with BMW’s entry hp number for their massive SUV that weighs 500 lbs more than a XT6. Reviewers praise BMW. 😂😂😂 If 325hp is adequate enough for a 5,000lbs BMW X5, 310hp should be more than adequate for a 4,400lbs Cadillac XT6. Why did GM get so much bitching and complaining reviews at the auto show for the entry engine of the XT6?? I have no clue! Lol.
Yall are smoking crack BMW, Benz and many other foreign cars are trash ball. I'll take a Chevy or Cadillac over anything. Tell me another company that has made multiple vehicles that have been able to go 1 million miles without having to replace a motor?
Cadillac did not put auto lane changing or turn by turn like Tesla because you can’t predict what other drivers or pedestrians will do. Which is one of the reasons why you read about Tesla auto pilot getting into accidents. I agree with how Cadillac developed super cruise.
Tesla doesn’t need to predict how another driver will react when making a lane change. If it senses a car speeding up it will abort the lane change. Tesla is going full self driving while Cadillac is obviously focusing on actually driving the vehicle
Mario Lopez Actually, the pros and cons of this car are not the ones that he mentioned. Watch a video from Canada or Germany and you'll notice just how "first world" picky he is becoming. He used to be my favorite online reviewer, but lately I'm annoyed with his trivial complaints.
@@patriciapitts3505 I was going to say that. But the last time I responded to his hisssy-fits they took my comment down.. They don't play that male-bitch shit in that 3rd world country he originates from. They would be-head his ass.. But he calls us FAT AMERICANS and puts down everything 🇺🇸 AMERICAN!! The country that allows him to be who he is. 😥 Sad.. He needs to GROW-UP!!
kao the numberblocks fan 2019 the 2019 CT6’s lights aren’t wacky nor are they “over designed”. They just effortlessly make the other’s headlights all look under designed and basic. Cadillac really did a great job with this LED setup. Definitely the best looking in the entire segment.
I think Cadillac didn't cancel the ct8 as they say I think they want to surprise everybody with a huge luxury Cadillac sedan. Think about it they still have the Escalade so they'd have to have a sedan comparable to it. Kinda like the Audi Q8 to A8 the Mercedes GLS to the S class
Sofyan you should not be reviewing this type of car because you 100% don't understand its market placement. No one is being "driven around" in a CT6 and its geared towards older boomers who want plush large sedans who would of previously considered a XTS/Deville or a new RLX, Continental or Q70.
What boomers do you know that drive sedans anymore? They’re all buying SUVs like the Enclave and Nautilus. Boomers aren’t into the plush sedan that was the gen before them. I agree this car isn’t marketed to boomers cause they buy SUVs, it’s marketed to younger people cause 85% of zoomers, and millennials say they want a sedan but that doesn’t mean it needs to ride like a carriage.
Drove one last year when my family was looking for a new car. We drove a white 3.6 Premium luxury and a black 2.0T luxury. It thoroughly impressed me and I really enjoyed the 3.6. It was very quick, sounded amazing, and was super smooth. The interior punched way above its weight and felt very well built. We compared it with a slightly used 740i, my old S550, and a few different lexuses. The 3.6 was my fav out of all of them (besides my S but I’m biased). We ended up with a C300 (they wanted a smaller car and the ATS is very dated) but I would’ve been very happy with the CT6 too. I’ve thought about getting a used one myself.
I watch and usually Like your vids BUT..... you are just WAAAAAY too critical and down trodden on Cadillac vehicles. Ease up and relax on the negativity 😶
Did you seriously say that owners in this class would like to be driven in the back? It's not a Rolls FFS! Know the segment, know the engine choices. The website doesn't list the 2.0 4 bc it's no longer available. It's not a V.
@@alfredo9494 nah. This whole review he was undercutting this car so much. You cant misspeak and pretty much say "this isn't as good as an S-class" when it doesn't cost as much as one
@@alfredo9494 then why even compare them? Its pretty much a different range of car. Like you'd never compare a Ford Superduty to a Mercedes S class just because they are in the same price bracket. The CT6 isnt even the same price. It competes with the standard car and is more of a step into the world of luxury. Like another comment said, "Whos getting drove around in the back of a cadillac?"
I've been a subscriber of your channel for a few years now. I feel like you get more nitpicky with every car you review lately. Only does 0-60 in 5 seconds, when it's competitors do it in 4.5? Five seconds is more than quick enough. Super Cruise not as good as Tesla? Maybe they don't want the bad press from people being hurt and killed like in the Tesla? We're a distracted bunch in this country anyways, so I'm not sure that fully autonomous driving is what we need at the moment. Also, for the love, you don't have to explain how to start a push-button car! Aborigines in the Outback of Australia understand how to do this. But, perhaps I'm being nitpicky like your reviews... You get great access to vehicles, just stop being so first world picky or you'll end up like the main reviewer on Consumer Reports: "I can't believe for $14k that this car doesn't ride like a Mercedes S-Class....." I stopped watching them long ago because they are so tedious with their comparisons, not to mention, unrealistic.
Wow, excellent post and so true. And, have you ever listened to how often he says "actually"? It ruins the review every time, now I kill the sound when I see this guy. I only want to see the car or truck he's reviewing.
Who is getting hurt and killed in a Tesla? Tesla is literally one of the most safest cars. Are you going to link me to some CNN articles in your response? I hope you realize way more people die in ICE cars but the news doesn’t report that because it doesn’t bring in clicks.
Ayush All you need to do is Google "Tesla Adaptive Cruise Control accidents" and it'll pull up all of the articles from MULTIPLE sources. No link to CNN needed (although I don't know why you're bringing up that particular network). And as for "word for word" regarding Consumer Reports, they didn't make that exact statement. But if you head over to their channel and watch a few entry-level economy car videos, it won't be long and you'll hear the RIDICULOUS comparisons to cars that are way more expensive. Want further proof that American car reviewers are too picky and don't evaluate cars based on their price point? Go watch AutotopNL, Motormouth, or TheStraightPipes. They review them more fairly and don't nitpick them to death. I'll be waiting for you to get back to me.....
You missed the Dodge Challenger review where he said the car was made for FAT AMERICANS huh?? How can you be first world picky when you originate from THIRD WORLD POVERTY???
The platinum is much better than a base model s class that still cost about 5k more and doesn’t even come with real leather! Also most premium 1 package s classes come with all black interior and has a bunch of creaky parts and cheap plastic everywhere, even the gear stocks are horribly cheap on all models. I own both and love my CT6 and actually get more looks in my CT6 platinum as I think most people aren’t familiar with what kind of car it is and to a lot of people my s class is just another s class. I do like the new one and higher spec’ed s classes much better tho!
What’s crazy is when he first reviewed this car he was completely enamored by it. I’ve seen all of his Cadillac videos, I think… I could feel the negative energy from the jump on this video. It was such a contrast to his previous CT6 video on the 3.0TT I was taken back
The exterior is one of the best in luxury cars. Interior is also very well executed and available in many color options. At least give Cadillac credit for designing the car without that stupid coupe like roofline where it is a hell to get in and out without hitting your head. This is a well done luxury car slotted well between E class/5 series and S class/7 series and priced also very well in between these 2 classes of German competitors. This is a biased video as usual from Sofyan against anything not German.
I absolutely love the exterior styling of the CT6, always have. Give me that over any Benz or BMW any day. The tech is cool, too. But as far as interior goes, forget about it, this doesn't even compete with Kia or Genesis.
@@kultureshawkNSX I never said it was a nice as S class which by the way is just one model. I said as nice as Mercedes which means other models such as the E class or C class.
Z N can’t be that stupid if it works. Plus it is made here. People want to drive an American Vehicle that is great and don’t have to deal with foreign costs.
Darius Slay it doesn’t work. They barely sell any of these, that’s why it was almost cancelled. I’m not hating on it, the 16-18 model is my dream car at the moment. It’s just a confusing marketing strategy.
I completely disagree with you on removing the GM chime. My first car was a camaro and i've owned lots of GMs since including a 2010 cts and my current 2018 ats. call me crazy but im sentimental about that chime. every nice car i've ever owned had it and if it'd be gone in any of the newer gms id honestly be sad about it.
0:55 THANK YOU for pointing out they are continuing. Nearly EVERY youtuber who does a review ALWAYS says there are going to be no more CT6 models but there are, so thank you.
I’m not a “big” fan of Cadillac, but when I seen this vehicle in person when I worked at the Cadillac dealer I was impressed. It’s such a sexy vehicle!
seems like a missed opportunity for caddy. there's some pretty cool tech, but too many compromises like material choices compared to other luxury cars.
My thoughts exactly! Cadillac will continue to remain a second rate luxury brand if they can't deliver on a genuine, world-class interior! Even mid-level luxury sedans like the 5-Series, A5 and E-Class have better interior quality, designs and layouts than the bigger CT6!
ron s it’s not the materials that’s wrong it’s how they made them look, all of there materials are genuine, it’s just that they use a very dark interior, every piece was dark
I love the 2019 Cadillac CT6 Sport in this Red Horizon Tintcoat color with these wheels and that sport mesh grille. This vehicle looks absolutely beautiful and mimics Megatron’s face. It’s design is ahead of it’s time, aggressive, sexy, sporty, but looks very clean and classy all at the same time. The 2019 refresh is definitely a success. I prefer the CT5-V over this since it also has a gorgeous exterior but mainly because it has the updated Cadillac interior, which is really the only place the CT6 could become more luxurious. The exterior is opulent. Can’t wait until you review the CT6-V and CT5-V! P.S. The Platinum CT6 does come with heated and ventilated rear seats that are both power recline and massaging.
Cadillac has lost their GODDAMN minds when they announced the CT6 will be gone after 2020. This is the best damn Caddy that has ever hit the streets since the Coupe DeVille, the Fleetwood, and the Escalade.
I know this car compares to the S-class/7 series/A8 and doesn't have the best interior compared to them but doesn't it it have more than you need though🤔 It should also be mentioned, alot infact, that its MUCH less expensive and that counts because just because you have money doesn't mean your going to spend it for the badge. Speaking of the badge, I think Lexus is the only one where quality comes first, the Germans aren't what they used to be if were honest, not to mention maintenance costs either. I hope Cadillac gets back at it with the interior, just needs a little more cooking and PLEASE move that starter button, it's in limbo where its at👈
I disagree. This is nowhere near an S-class - size wise maybe but not in any other aspect. It is also much cheaper. The interior in an S-class is miles ahead of this cheap plastic box. The S-class also comes with an optional V8. It compares better to Lexus and Genesis and the like.
Most cars' rear lights are straight, some are round. Typical for Cadillac are vertical rear lights. And the ones on the CT6 still are, they just have an additional horizontal "branch".
@@einundsiebenziger5488 I’m pretty sure it’s correct terminology to say straight up and down. Just because the lights are vertical which they ARE does not mean they are straight up and down like the old school Cadillacs please fully digest a readers comment before becoming a vocabulary specialist on TH-cam
The sport trim is essentially for people who want a sporty car. If you upgrade to the Platinum trim it comes with the rear seat massage and recline function. I believe it also gives the interior a full leather package as well. Also note I believe it was last month but the CT6 no longer offers the 2.0t, while in 2020 the 3.0tt will no longer be available. The only available engines are going to be their 3.6 v6 and the 4.2tt v8.
You need to get your hands on the new 2020 CT5, Sofyan, that is the beginning of Cadillacs new sedan philosophy which has a better interior/exterior design layout than previous Cadillac models. The CT6/XT5 are from the previous philosophy. XT4/CT4/CT5 get the new stuff. And I guess maybe XT6 exterior design wise but interior wise it is similar to CT6. Unless I am wrong and the CT6 interior design is meant to be distinctive? If so, the CT5 is better , more modern and has many more physical buttons in the interior.
I was lucky enough to obtain the CT6V in Jan of 2019. I have not gotten delivery yet. Suppose to be some time soon. If Mr Bay would like to review it . I will make it available to him. My office is a few miles away from Wrigley field in Chicago
Today I test drove both the 3.0 turbo and 3.6 naturally aspirated. The turbo is the best NO turbo lag. But the turbo engine is noiser than the naturally aspirated and the shifts are not smooth as the naturally aspirated. Handling is good. Cadillac performance and comfort are better than Lexus ES and LS, on par with Mercedes E and S-classthat I test drove.
No more bong, bong, bong door chimes,,,Lol ! Just relaying what he says about the door chimes. I hope Cadillac does well, they`ve been under some criticism in the past. My Mother had a 2007 CTS,,,,V-6,,,,RWD, and it was a really good, reliable car. They`re an American Icon, and i would like to see them to continue to prosper.
I think in 2020 the 2.0L Turbo 4 will be standard in the Cadillac CT4. The 3.6L V6 will be an option for the CT4 and standard in the CT5. The 3.0L Twin Turbocharged V6 will only be an option for the CT4-V and CT5. They’re taking it away from the CT6 which will come standard with the 3.6 V6 but now have the option of a naturally aspirated V8 and CT6-V a 4.2 TT V8. I’m just excited about what they’ll do for the CT5-V, the *real* one.
A truly thoughtless review. Basically looked for anything negative, true or perceived. Why not study the car before jumping in and reviewing. Never spoke of anything positive. Maybe Cadillac didn’t wine and dine him.
I swear to god people are so easily offended nowadays if they don't hear what they want to hear. He praised the Omega platform, praised the motor (good observation on the initial turbo lag though), for the most part he praised the Supercruise system and observed the steering and response is overall good. GM cars are good in some ways and flawed in other ways. People always say they want the truth and don't like sugar coating yet when the truth is said all off a sudden it's a problem. Very perplexing to me.
Redline Reviews oh no I agree! Terminology was just hilarious. I actually was thinking during this review how seeing this car makes me realize that Mercedes and the like really do think about every little detail of your experience in your their cars. GM doesn’t feel like that. I like Cadillac though and they look amazing but not sure I’d buy. But I’m a little ways away anyway 🙃
Hey guys, I have a 2018 XTS and I love it. The point here is that we can no longer compare Cadillac as a brand against the Germans or British luxury makes anymore; but maybe the Japanese.... I love my car for its size, MPG, comfort, and the huge trunk that can hold an live or dead body Goodfellas style. Come on guys, do not expect the bean counters at GM to put that kind of craftsmanship and materials on a domestic nameplate. It simply isn't going to happen in the near or distant future because no one will pay six figures for a Caddy (Escalades Not-Withstanding). But when compared to the lackluster quality of American autos in the late 80s and 90s (RIP Oldsmobile and Pontiac) this car is an astonishing achievement!!!
I love the new Caddys exterior and tech and performance. You cant beat that value. But the only weakness is the interior, they got to take it up another notch. AND THEN THIS CAR IS UNBEATABLE!
The exterior of this car is extremely good looking IMO but the interior is ok. I think it's missing that pop that the xt4 gives with the red accent's , seems functional. I prefer the LS to this but great car. 👍
Glad they didn't kill it......it's a beautiful full size sedan that rides and feels like a Cadillac with a display that's built in and not a I-pad attached look! Don't get one with the 8 speed automatic....has problems. Get the 10 speed auto. I WANT ONE!
You forgot to mention Genesis brands... yes Genesis. They offer way better interior then most luxury models of the same caliber. Great review as always my man!
I agree with you guys. At what point are going to engineer and sell products that can compete with imported products. We’ve been needed to step our game up.
If Cadillac wants to compete against higher tier luxury vehicles, it needs to separate from GM in manufacturing and dealerships. Ie like Audi is with Volkswagen
Audi is a 100 percent subsidiary of Volkwagen. Engines and many other parts for both brands are manufactured in the same factories. Plus, Audi is a much bigger part of VW as Cadillac is in GM, so it is profitable to have separate Audi and VW dealerships.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 still doesn't make sense how you have a 150k Escalade and now 400k Cadillac Celestiq next to a 40k Chevrolet Blazer in a show room. That's horrible corporate management and poor customer service experience. I dont think those wanting to buy a Porsche have to walk past VW Jettas in the show room....
They missed the oppurtunity here to start getting rid of their "alphabet soup" naming, this should've been called the F L E E T W O O D😎 That said, I think these are the best looking of the recent Cadillacs....IMO!
Agreed. Lincoln got rid of the bullshit alphanumeric names and their sales are going up now. Lots of people don't want to drive cars named after fax machines, smartphones, and printers.
@@97I30T yeah and not to mention their styling is incredible, although their lead designer just left and joined Nissan/Infiniti, talk about a win for them because Infiniti SUVs have to be the ugliest things on the road, I wish Genesis had their SUVs out because it would be a stake in the heart of Infinit, Infinti is pure garbage😠
The platinum version has the options in the back seat he was crying about, but he said its not available? Ummm what? And complaining about a bong? If that not nitpicking to the max idk what is.
I agree that they could focus more on the small things, like the buttons and the dinging sounds. Seems like it would be a easy thing to do that would add some much needed flair to the interior
I must admit this blows every American, German, Japanese, and Korean luxury sedan out of the water as far as exterior design goes hands down !! Cadillac can’t be touched with their exterior design language. That grille is perfection and the signature vertical DRL never looked better, and they didn’t cheap out with the turn signals that also run the entire length of the DRL look so luxurious and elegant. This car looks like it costs well over $83,000 USD driving down the street, and I hear it drives even better than it looks ,
@@iNeverHadMercy he use to be very objective , but sometimes you can tell how he's trashing a American brand, but doesn't point out the same details in Europe brands...
I have an '18' XTS and I've been stopped in parking lots by women and men and they all tell how its the most beautiful car they've seen.Really,so stop bad mouthing the;18' XTS its really great car!

Happy Saturday everyone! We wanted to clarify a couple of things people have brought up.
1. We filmed this review in April and Cadillac announced the discontinuation of the 2.0T shortly after filming. There is also a rumor floating around that the 3.0TT engine from this review is going to be discontinued on the 2020 CT6, in preparation for upcoming CT5.
2. Cadillac does offer massaging rear seats that are heated and cooled on the Platinum trim. Not sure how we overlooked that but Cadillac also have never sent us a fully loaded Platinum version with that option.
3. Apparently, the CT6-V was sold out but Cadillac has once again opened up the order books for it due high demand. We’re hoping to get our hands on one soon.
4. Lastly, we always loved the Omega and Alpha platform. They are some of the best driving cars on the market. We just want Cadillac to go the extra mile that Lincoln has done to even further differentiate themselves from the rest of the GM lineup. Our criticism of the interior is shown so Cadillac can work harder to make themselves better. We want to see them become the standard of the world again and we know they can do it. There is a huge shakeup happening at Cadillac with two all-new sedans and a fully electric SUV coming soon. Hope that answers some of your questions and thanks for watching!
Redline Reviews thanks for clearing the air, Soyfan. Keep up the good work and I’ll be back for those CT4-V, CT5-V and CT6-V reviews!🔥
Respect the hustle and grind. Trust me. But don't upload video reviews if you feel you have to add THIS MUCH clarification or updating. Simply adding most of this in post on the video would of been beyond sufficient enough. Content for contents sake can been seen from a mile away.
Excellent review! I can honestly say that I pretty much agree with everything you pointed out in this review! I love the engineering behind the CT6, and the exterior is quite handsome! But as usual, GM simply can't deliver on a genuine, world-class interior! Which is a shame considering the excellent tech and handling ability!

so only the 3.6 will be available in the CT6?
@@frankmarzig1972 We hear it'll only be the 3.6L and the Blackwing twin-turbo V8 will be the only engines for 2020.
Oh come on man. It’s so much cheaper than the S Class! Why do people compare it to that car. This is an affordable luxury car. It does very well for its price. It’s all anyone needs. I love that red.
I sold Cadillacs for a year. G.M. always tried to have us sell any sedan as an alternative to the S Class or 7 series. We ignored their approach and sold the vehicle on it's own merit.
You're comparing it solely to the 7-Series and S-Class, but really not taking into account this car starts more than $30K less than those cars and for that much of a price difference, this car is a bargain.
I adore the looks of this cadillac on the outside. but it schould really not be compared with the 7 series or the S class. Maybe the E class... Because i think the CT6's interior looks a bit cheap...
Agreed! Sofyan you should not be reviewing this type of car because you 100% don't understand its market placement. No one is being "driven around" in a CT6. Its a $60k car not a $160k car. Its marketed towards boomers or silent generations who want a bigger plush sedan who would consider XTS (Deville), Acura RLX, K900 (honest), Lexus LS or Continental.
In order to be a bargain, you need to directly compete against the others with a lower price tag. Cutting down the costs and saying "this is a cheaper alternative to those who likes A8, S, 7" is a pointless argument. There is no cheaper alternative to this segment. You just build a worse car and try to find a segment for it. This is not how it works and no other owner would think about shifting to a completetly worse car just because it is cheaper.
mada that’s funny because the CT6 has been outselling the 7-series for the second year in a row since 2018. So apparently the Platinum which has a more luxurious interior is a better alternative to the BMW 7-Series than the Cadillac CT6 Premium Luxury with a Sport package. This isn’t the top of the line CT6. It’s just optioned to look and drive like one.
Tru
He's just hating on Cadillac. And comparing this car with cars that cost 30k more. Crazy
he is Asian, what do you expect? lol. its either a toyota or honda for him.
Joel Vyne daiiim😂😂😂lol
Agree. Just checked...closest MB dealer has new 2020 S-Class cars starting at $107k US. Not saying this Caddy would be its equal, but how could you expect it to be for $30-40k less?!
If you can`t compete with Genesis, how about the Germans? They are the last option in the segment
@@AdHD1905 Cadillac doesn't compare with Genesis? WOW!!!

Lol nice catch
@Suman Bajgain 👍🏻
So I pointed this out not because I was trying to be a wise guy. Pobody's nerfect. I just thought it was funny. HOWEVER, as much as I love Redline Reviews (big fan), this video does fall a bit short in my opinion. I was particularly disappointed with how the walkthrough of the interior was just sort of all over the place. Please consider editing your walkthroughs so that they seem more cohesive. And Happy Pride everybody!
@@radudeATL soy fan is really snarling in this video even calling it an XTS once.
The platinum does actually have cooling, reclining and massaging seats in the back

Stop being a dick head man go back to Korea.
He needs to fix this honestly 😂
This dude is seriously biased against anything that's not German 😂😂
De'Andre Brown I hear a lot of people say that about him Iam started to see it
And Honda
And Mazda, and which I love to
And he also forgets to consider the relative price. Not as nice as Germans, yeah, because it costs 20k more.
@@ro0ster648 that is so obvious.
absolutely love the front face of the new cadillacs. the icicle LEDs look amazing and the grill and all the angles in general look spot on.
“A typical 3 liter GM twin turbo V-6”. Since when has this engine been typical for GM?
That was a huge oversight on his behalf. Unlike Lincoln, Caddy has kept it's 3.0T in-house. Unavailable anywhere else at GM, as is the entire Omega platform itself.
@@Vic_CruzN91026 , I agree! The boring XT6 should've debuted with the 3.6L TT V6 as the top engine choice to better compete with Lincoln's 3.0 TT. There's also the Impala, which could use a more powerful engine option for an SS model, the LaCrosse, GM's mid-sized pickups, the new Blazer; a lot of GM vehicles should be using that TT 3.6! But Generally (boring) Motors doesn't care for excitement in their products anymore, unless it's a Corvette or Camaro!
Yea looks like he doesnt like cadillacs....
HellKitty 101 exactly!
ldawson103 True. GM puts the 3.6L V6 in the new 4,440 lbs Cadillac XT6 which is super refined and reliable delivering adequate power (310hp). Reviewers and commentators still complain that it’s not enough power and “typical GM”.
GM puts the 3.0L TT V6 in the 4,420 lbs Cadillac CT6 delivering over 400hp. Reviewers still complain it’s not enough power and “typical GM” to put the TT V6 in this vehicle.
I’ve learned people are literally going to complain no matter what GM does.
Meanwhile, the new BMW X5 is also a 3 row crossover. It weighs 5,000 lbs. Its entry engine is a 325hp 3.0L V6 (only 25 hp more than the Cadillac XT6). Reviewers and commenters have no issue whatsoever with BMW’s entry hp number for their massive SUV that weighs 500 lbs more than a XT6. Reviewers praise BMW.
😂😂😂
If 325hp is adequate enough for a 5,000lbs BMW X5, 310hp should be more than adequate for a 4,400lbs Cadillac XT6. Why did GM get so much bitching and complaining reviews at the auto show for the entry engine of the XT6?? I have no clue! Lol.
Maybe it’s just me but he seems pissy throughout this whole review🤔
He just doesn't like seeing a good American car. So much bias.
DC true
Btw the German competitors arent close to that beauty. Interiors are ugly and cars are not reliable at all
LangZhao well I *know* for a fact GM cars are reliable, since I’m a GM owner.
German cars *except BMW* are generally more reliable than GM imo
Yall are smoking crack BMW, Benz and many other foreign cars are trash ball. I'll take a Chevy or Cadillac over anything. Tell me another company that has made multiple vehicles that have been able to go 1 million miles without having to replace a motor?
To be fair, these are available in a wide variety of interior colours. They don’t have to be dark. The Platinum is also a major upgrade in luxury.
Yes esecially in CASHMERE LEATHER!!!
Cadillac did not put auto lane changing or turn by turn like Tesla because you can’t predict what other drivers or pedestrians will do. Which is one of the reasons why you read about Tesla auto pilot getting into accidents. I agree with how Cadillac developed super cruise.
Tesla doesn’t need to predict how another driver will react when making a lane change. If it senses a car speeding up it will abort the lane change. Tesla is going full self driving while Cadillac is obviously focusing on actually driving the vehicle
Justin Stewart lol do more research and actually drive a Cadillac vehicle equipped with the Super Cruise feature *then* talk about their focus.
Nit-picking is something you do so well......
Mario Lopez Actually, the pros and cons of this car are not the ones that he mentioned. Watch a video from Canada or Germany and you'll notice just how "first world" picky he is becoming. He used to be my favorite online reviewer, but lately I'm annoyed with his trivial complaints.
Agreed
Well male bitches nit pick
@@LetsGoSomewhereFun First World Picky from a man who originates from a 3rd World Country. WOW!!! How can you not 😆 LOL at him?
@@patriciapitts3505 I was going to say that. But the last time I responded to his hisssy-fits they took my comment down.. They don't play that male-bitch shit in that 3rd world country he originates from. They would be-head his ass.. But he calls us FAT AMERICANS and puts down everything 🇺🇸 AMERICAN!! The country that allows him to be who he is. 😥 Sad.. He needs to GROW-UP!!
I love Cadillac LEDS turn signals and headlights
They are gorgeous
Yeah, I get the sarcasm. They are ugly and make no sense.
...then you haven't seen Audi or BMW headlights then. Makes these caddy wacky-over-designed lamps looks like some cheap Ebay Chinese knock off.
kao the numberblocks fan 2019 the 2019 CT6’s lights aren’t wacky nor are they “over designed”. They just effortlessly make the other’s headlights all look under designed and basic. Cadillac really did a great job with this LED setup. Definitely the best looking in the entire segment.
@@mybro727 ...then you haven't seen what BMW or Audi has...best in the business with laser and correct brightness on the LED.
Lotzzz of know it all commentators have Champaign taste on a Beer Budget !
I’m more partial to Lincoln as an American luxury car manufacturer but this Cadi is such a beautiful car.
Also this isnt a car to be chauffeured in, it's a family/early executive car.
I think Cadillac didn't cancel the ct8 as they say I think they want to surprise everybody with a huge luxury Cadillac sedan. Think about it they still have the Escalade so they'd have to have a sedan comparable to it. Kinda like the Audi Q8 to A8 the Mercedes GLS to the S class
It might not be called the ct8 but I think Cadillac will still make a real full size luxury car.
Sofyan you should not be reviewing this type of car because you 100% don't understand its market placement. No one is being "driven around" in a CT6 and its geared towards older boomers who want plush large sedans who would of previously considered a XTS/Deville or a new RLX, Continental or Q70.
He reviews everything in comparison to his 911...he doesn’t out anything into their respective categories
@@alfredo9494 all I see is old baby boomers buying this car and truthfully I'm surprised they are, considering it's not a Cadillac DeVille
What boomers do you know that drive sedans anymore? They’re all buying SUVs like the Enclave and Nautilus. Boomers aren’t into the plush sedan that was the gen before them.
I agree this car isn’t marketed to boomers cause they buy SUVs, it’s marketed to younger people cause 85% of zoomers, and millennials say they want a sedan but that doesn’t mean it needs to ride like a carriage.
Drove one last year when my family was looking for a new car. We drove a white 3.6 Premium luxury and a black 2.0T luxury. It thoroughly impressed me and I really enjoyed the 3.6. It was very quick, sounded amazing, and was super smooth. The interior punched way above its weight and felt very well built. We compared it with a slightly used 740i, my old S550, and a few different lexuses. The 3.6 was my fav out of all of them (besides my S but I’m biased). We ended up with a C300 (they wanted a smaller car and the ATS is very dated) but I would’ve been very happy with the CT6 too. I’ve thought about getting a used one myself.
I watch and usually Like your vids BUT..... you are just WAAAAAY too critical and down trodden on Cadillac vehicles. Ease up and relax on the negativity 😶
Its like he wants it to be another vehicle… you can tell he’s a winer & complainer
Did you seriously say that owners in this class would like to be driven in the back? It's not a Rolls FFS! Know the segment, know the engine choices. The website doesn't list the 2.0 4 bc it's no longer available. It's not a V.
He's not reviewing the car, he's telling us what he wants it to be. It's a family car not a limo.
Agreed. If your getting driven around in the back of a CT6 as a celebrity your record label doesn’t love you.
OMG I thought the same thing, wth was he thinking
@@alfredo9494 nah. This whole review he was undercutting this car so much. You cant misspeak and pretty much say "this isn't as good as an S-class" when it doesn't cost as much as one
@@alfredo9494 then why even compare them? Its pretty much a different range of car. Like you'd never compare a Ford Superduty to a Mercedes S class just because they are in the same price bracket. The CT6 isnt even the same price. It competes with the standard car and is more of a step into the world of luxury. Like another comment said, "Whos getting drove around in the back of a cadillac?"
I've been a subscriber of your channel for a few years now. I feel like you get more nitpicky with every car you review lately. Only does 0-60 in 5 seconds, when it's competitors do it in 4.5? Five seconds is more than quick enough. Super Cruise not as good as Tesla? Maybe they don't want the bad press from people being hurt and killed like in the Tesla? We're a distracted bunch in this country anyways, so I'm not sure that fully autonomous driving is what we need at the moment.
Also, for the love, you don't have to explain how to start a push-button car! Aborigines in the Outback of Australia understand how to do this. But, perhaps I'm being nitpicky like your reviews...
You get great access to vehicles, just stop being so first world picky or you'll end up like the main reviewer on Consumer Reports: "I can't believe for $14k that this car doesn't ride like a Mercedes S-Class....." I stopped watching them long ago because they are so tedious with their comparisons, not to mention, unrealistic.
Wow, excellent post and so true. And, have you ever listened to how often he says "actually"? It ruins the review every time, now I kill the sound when I see this guy. I only want to see the car or truck he's reviewing.
Agreed. Dude is making it hard to watch his review vids..... too unrealistic and negative.
Who is getting hurt and killed in a Tesla? Tesla is literally one of the most safest cars.
Are you going to link me to some CNN articles in your response? I hope you realize way more people die in ICE cars but the news doesn’t report that because it doesn’t bring in clicks.
Ayush All you need to do is Google "Tesla Adaptive Cruise Control accidents" and it'll pull up all of the articles from MULTIPLE sources. No link to CNN needed (although I don't know why you're bringing up that particular network). And as for "word for word" regarding Consumer Reports, they didn't make that exact statement. But if you head over to their channel and watch a few entry-level economy car videos, it won't be long and you'll hear the RIDICULOUS comparisons to cars that are way more expensive.
Want further proof that American car reviewers are too picky and don't evaluate cars based on their price point? Go watch AutotopNL, Motormouth, or TheStraightPipes. They review them more fairly and don't nitpick them to death. I'll be waiting for you to get back to me.....
You missed the Dodge Challenger review where he said the car was made for FAT AMERICANS huh?? How can you be first world picky when you originate from THIRD WORLD POVERTY???
Now THAT is a Cadillac 😍 so good looking
Cadillac has been using the same old bong for years. They need to get their own bong. LMAO
I was gonna comment the exact same, since I was ripping one while he was saying that.
its the same thing in vag cars
nobody complains about it
Got to be one of your worst reviews yet! Such bias against Cadillac and very opinionated even calling the CT6 a XTS. Very poor.
The platinum edition has heated, cooled, massage, and adjustable back seats. At least on the 2018s they do
Agreed. He said Cadillac doesn't offer it which is completely false...
Who are they kidding, everyone knows Cadillac’s flagship is the Escalade
The escalade is the SUV lineup not the sedan lineup
"Does the CT6 have what it takes to compete with the best from Europe?" - NO IT'S HALF THE PRICE!!! How can you compare this to an S-Class?
The funny thing is it compares pretty well despite being 40k less expensive
It's the same size. It competes just like how the G90 competes with the S-Class
S class are money pits. Jus like BMW 750li, always in the shop.
@@phillip33alexander the S class isn’t made for the same people shopping in the Corolla, Civic, Scotty Kilmer segment.
The platinum is much better than a base model s class that still cost about 5k more and doesn’t even come with real leather! Also most premium 1 package s classes come with all black interior and has a bunch of creaky parts and cheap plastic everywhere, even the gear stocks are horribly cheap on all models. I own both and love my CT6 and actually get more looks in my CT6 platinum as I think most people aren’t familiar with what kind of car it is and to a lot of people my s class is just another s class. I do like the new one and higher spec’ed s classes much better tho!
Ray Donovan has the CT6 V. Such an amazing car.
I think that's his rental car.
Was scrolling to find an RD comment, good look man!!! 😉👍🏻
Facts
massage, heated\cooled and recline rear seats available at platinum package
GM is king when it comes to cutting corners on the interior. They love to use cheap plastics and still ask a high price.
Cheap wiring and electrical connectors too....endless money pits and a big hit in resale if you compare five year residuals amongst competitors.
There’s almost no plastic wtf 😂
Cool Kid they’re delusional retards lol GM has the most idiotic and illogical haters 😂
@@coolkid7151 It's still where it shouldn't be. I love the car so pluck it.
What’s crazy is when he first reviewed this car he was completely enamored by it. I’ve seen all of his Cadillac videos, I think… I could feel the negative energy from the jump on this video. It was such a contrast to his previous CT6 video on the 3.0TT I was taken back
Yea he's a p o s, I've noticed the difference
The exterior is one of the best in luxury cars. Interior is also very well executed and available in many color options. At least give Cadillac credit for designing the car without that stupid coupe like roofline where it is a hell to get in and out without hitting your head. This is a well done luxury car slotted well between E class/5 series and S class/7 series and priced also very well in between these 2 classes of German competitors. This is a biased video as usual from Sofyan against anything not German.
Better bong? Call Cheech n Chong, lol.
I absolutely love the exterior styling of the CT6, always have. Give me that over any Benz or BMW any day. The tech is cool, too. But as far as interior goes, forget about it, this doesn't even compete with Kia or Genesis.
How? It has leather stitching everywhere, real metal, and carbon fiber/wood. The layout and design isn't exciting but the materials are fine.
Absolutely agree with you💯
The interior of the cadillac is as nice as a Mercedes.
@@bighands69 nice as an s class Mercedes? Man get the f out of here with that bullshiet lol
@@kultureshawkNSX
I never said it was a nice as S class which by the way is just one model.
I said as nice as Mercedes which means other models such as the E class or C class.
"It gets up to triple digit speeds very quickly. Thats not what I was doing, though."
*WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE*
The CT-6 seems to be more like a 5 series and E class competitor instead of a 7 series and S class competitor.
That’s because it is a 5 series competitor, if people did a little more research they would know better. Priced as such and dynamics better than them.
It’s a “tweener” priced like a 5, sized like a 7 series. Stupid idea, but it’s still a great car
Z N can’t be that stupid if it works. Plus it is made here. People want to drive an American Vehicle that is great and don’t have to deal with foreign costs.
Well like he said the rumor were squashed for the ct8
Darius Slay it doesn’t work. They barely sell any of these, that’s why it was almost cancelled. I’m not hating on it, the 16-18 model is my dream car at the moment. It’s just a confusing marketing strategy.
“It’s time for Cadillac to get their own bong.”
can't we all just get a bong?
Tommy Chong makes some really nice bongs! (Just saying)
Shut up nobody respects stoners
@@Jwdude123 um yes they do. Obama was a stoner
My mother bought a brand new Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais back in 1988. It had the exact same "bong" I gotta go with Soyfan on this one.
I completely disagree with you on removing the GM chime. My first car was a camaro and i've owned lots of GMs since including a 2010 cts and my current 2018 ats. call me crazy but im sentimental about that chime. every nice car i've ever owned had it and if it'd be gone in any of the newer gms id honestly be sad about it.
0:55 THANK YOU for pointing out they are continuing. Nearly EVERY youtuber who does a review ALWAYS says there are going to be no more CT6 models but there are, so thank you.
I’m not a “big” fan of Cadillac, but when I seen this vehicle in person when I worked at the Cadillac dealer I was impressed. It’s such a sexy vehicle!
My dream car !
You talked more about competitors than the actual car...
🤔🤔
Agree!
seems like a missed opportunity for caddy. there's some pretty cool tech, but too many compromises like material choices compared to other luxury cars.
My thoughts exactly! Cadillac will continue to remain a second rate luxury brand if they can't deliver on a genuine, world-class interior! Even mid-level luxury sedans like the 5-Series, A5 and E-Class have better interior quality, designs and layouts than the bigger CT6!
How? It has leather stitching everywhere, real metal, and carbon fiber/wood. The layout and design isn't exciting but the materials are fine.
The interior of that car is as nice as a Mercedes or BMW.
bighand69 no it’s not. I had all three
ron s it’s not the materials that’s wrong it’s how they made them look, all of there materials are genuine, it’s just that they use a very dark interior, every piece was dark
I love the 2019 Cadillac CT6 Sport in this Red Horizon Tintcoat color with these wheels and that sport mesh grille. This vehicle looks absolutely beautiful and mimics Megatron’s face. It’s design is ahead of it’s time, aggressive, sexy, sporty, but looks very clean and classy all at the same time. The 2019 refresh is definitely a success. I prefer the CT5-V over this since it also has a gorgeous exterior but mainly because it has the updated Cadillac interior, which is really the only place the CT6 could become more luxurious. The exterior is opulent. Can’t wait until you review the CT6-V and CT5-V!
P.S.
The Platinum CT6 does come with heated and ventilated rear seats that are both power recline and massaging.
There's definitely an option for heated, cooled and massaging back seats that also recline to some degree.
I love the new direction Cadillac is going with the front design
Cadillac has lost their GODDAMN minds when they announced the CT6 will be gone after 2020. This is the best damn Caddy that has ever hit the streets since the Coupe DeVille, the Fleetwood, and the Escalade.
And to a lesser extents, the seville and eldorado.
Test drove a CT6 and the ride quality was the exact reason I passed
I know this car compares to the S-class/7 series/A8 and doesn't have the best interior compared to them but doesn't it it have more than you need though🤔 It should also be mentioned, alot infact, that its MUCH less expensive and that counts because just because you have money doesn't mean your going to spend it for the badge. Speaking of the badge, I think Lexus is the only one where quality comes first, the Germans aren't what they used to be if were honest, not to mention maintenance costs either.
I hope Cadillac gets back at it with the interior, just needs a little more cooking and PLEASE move that starter button, it's in limbo where its at👈
The Cadillac is the best value for your money out of its competition. European cars are overpriced.
I disagree. This is nowhere near an S-class - size wise maybe but not in any other aspect. It is also much cheaper. The interior in an S-class is miles ahead of this cheap plastic box. The S-class also comes with an optional V8. It compares better to Lexus and Genesis and the like.
@@pilskadden yeah, I'm going by size but there's no denying the price difference and the cheaper interior buts reflect that😏
Bring the old straight rear lights back and these new lacs would be perfect
Most cars' rear lights are straight, some are round. Typical for Cadillac are vertical rear lights. And the ones on the CT6 still are, they just have an additional horizontal "branch".
@@einundsiebenziger5488 I’m pretty sure it’s correct terminology to say straight up and down. Just because the lights are vertical which they ARE does not mean they are straight up and down like the old school Cadillacs please fully digest a readers comment before becoming a vocabulary specialist on TH-cam
His reviews be so honest, almost too honest, talked me out thinking about buying at least 2 cars already lol.
Competitors have entered the chat.
Nobody ever mentions Lincoln when talking about competitors.
Why bother?
Lincoln? I'm surprised they are still alive lol
Lincoln has nothing to compare to the ct6 , the continental competed with the now defunct xts.
Lincoln doesn't make any cars but large SUVs anymore, so the only Cadillac to compare to Lincoln is the Escalade.
Such a beautiful design
The sport trim is essentially for people who want a sporty car. If you upgrade to the Platinum trim it comes with the rear seat massage and recline function. I believe it also gives the interior a full leather package as well. Also note I believe it was last month but the CT6 no longer offers the 2.0t, while in 2020 the 3.0tt will no longer be available. The only available engines are going to be their 3.6 v6 and the 4.2tt v8.
Great commentary. I am currently looking for a 2019 premium luxury. Hoping to stay under 40k. Market is crazy right now.
This review is thorough, if not slightly negative toward this beautiful luxury car. He isn’t a Cadillac fanboy at all.
Is it me or does he seem like he’s rushing through the review.
I’ve noticed that in a lot of his videos.
It's an American offering, and especially GM or FCA: He always does from these makers.
It’s almost a 30 min video lol what more do you want
He makes it VERY obvious that he is Anti-Cadillac 😵
YES ESPECIALLY WITH AMERICAN CARS. SO BIASED. its getting disgusting. And I've been a fan for a long time
That’s a beautiful car
You need to get your hands on the new 2020 CT5, Sofyan, that is the beginning of Cadillacs new sedan philosophy which has a better interior/exterior design layout than previous Cadillac models. The CT6/XT5 are from the previous philosophy. XT4/CT4/CT5 get the new stuff. And I guess maybe XT6 exterior design wise but interior wise it is similar to CT6. Unless I am wrong and the CT6 interior design is meant to be distinctive? If so, the CT5 is better , more modern and has many more physical buttons in the interior.
I was lucky enough to obtain the CT6V in Jan of 2019. I have not gotten delivery yet. Suppose to be some time soon. If Mr Bay would like to review it . I will make it available to him. My office is a few miles away from Wrigley field in Chicago
Today I test drove both the 3.0 turbo and 3.6 naturally aspirated. The turbo is the best NO turbo lag. But the turbo engine is noiser than the naturally aspirated and the shifts are not smooth as the naturally aspirated. Handling is good.
Cadillac performance and comfort are better than Lexus ES and LS, on par with Mercedes E and S-classthat I test drove.
Come On Now It's a Sport Model Not the Luxury Model. You're lucky it even has rear TV's. What part of Sport don't you get?
No more bong, bong, bong door chimes,,,Lol ! Just relaying what he says about the door chimes. I hope Cadillac does well, they`ve been under some criticism in the past. My Mother had a 2007 CTS,,,,V-6,,,,RWD, and it was a really good, reliable car. They`re an American Icon, and i would like to see them to continue to prosper.
I think in 2020 the 2.0L Turbo 4 will be standard in the Cadillac CT4. The 3.6L V6 will be an option for the CT4 and standard in the CT5. The 3.0L Twin Turbocharged V6 will only be an option for the CT4-V and CT5. They’re taking it away from the CT6 which will come standard with the 3.6 V6 but now have the option of a naturally aspirated V8 and CT6-V a 4.2 TT V8. I’m just excited about what they’ll do for the CT5-V, the *real* one.
A truly thoughtless review. Basically looked for anything negative, true or perceived. Why not study the car before jumping in and reviewing. Never spoke of anything positive. Maybe Cadillac didn’t wine and dine him.
I swear to god people are so easily offended nowadays if they don't hear what they want to hear. He praised the Omega platform, praised the motor (good observation on the initial turbo lag though), for the most part he praised the Supercruise system and observed the steering and response is overall good. GM cars are good in some ways and flawed in other ways. People always say they want the truth and don't like sugar coating yet when the truth is said all off a sudden it's a problem. Very perplexing to me.
Cadillac needs their own bong -Sofyan 2019
Alex Schwartz Yes! Why not? Lincoln has their own chime now that is different from Ford ;)
Redline Reviews oh no I agree! Terminology was just hilarious. I actually was thinking during this review how seeing this car makes me realize that Mercedes and the like really do think about every little detail of your experience in your their cars. GM doesn’t feel like that. I like Cadillac though and they look amazing but not sure I’d buy. But I’m a little ways away anyway 🙃
Hey guys, I have a 2018 XTS and I love it. The point here is that we can no longer compare Cadillac as a brand against the Germans or British luxury makes anymore; but maybe the Japanese....
I love my car for its size, MPG, comfort, and the huge trunk that can hold an live or dead body Goodfellas style. Come on guys, do not expect the bean counters at GM to put that kind of craftsmanship and materials on a domestic nameplate. It simply isn't going to happen in the near or distant future because no one will pay six figures for a Caddy (Escalades Not-Withstanding). But when compared to the lackluster quality of American autos in the late 80s and 90s (RIP Oldsmobile and Pontiac) this car is an astonishing achievement!!!
I love the new Caddys exterior and tech and performance. You cant beat that value. But the only weakness is the interior, they got to take it up another notch. AND THEN THIS CAR IS UNBEATABLE!
The exterior of this car is extremely good looking IMO but the interior is ok. I think it's missing that pop that the xt4 gives with the red accent's , seems functional. I prefer the LS to this but great car. 👍
Darkivaz - AAA disagreed
@Darkivaz - AAA that may have been for the previous-gen, but the LS500 has unknown reliability. And it is hideous.
Darkivaz - AAA better than the Lexus 🤮
Wasn’t expecting this upload
Wow please do say more
I love cadillac soon i'm drawing your future designer
Glad they didn't kill it......it's a beautiful full size sedan that rides and feels like a Cadillac with a display that's built in and not a I-pad attached look! Don't get one with the 8 speed automatic....has problems. Get the 10 speed auto. I WANT ONE!
Side bolsters are perfect for its market buyers who are 50+ with a few more pounds than you.
Its a looker for sure beautiful
the 2019 CT6 Platinum does have adjustable rear seats with massage. The previous CT6 Platinum years has adjustable rear seats and massage as well
Just purchased a used CT6 Sport w/ supercruise, etc. Loaded it had an 83k list. I bought it dor 53 with 39 k miles
to be fair I work at Mercedes and properly spec s class can run you 120k. I don't believe this car should be compared to that car 2 different markets
Thank you!
Alot of car for the price. Thanks brother.
I can’t believe you only have 637k Subscribers..
Red Line reviews are amazing.
Extremely professional and very objective.
Daytime running lights look cool ! Very unique . Now I know where the 2020 Sonata got that idea from with their lights going up the hood .
You forgot to mention Genesis brands... yes Genesis. They offer way better interior then most luxury models of the same caliber. Great review as always my man!
man i want your channel to be number one. you are the best. unlike carwow and others, full of negativity, they are not car enthusiasts. keep it up!!
I agree with you guys. At what point are going to engineer and sell products that can compete with imported products. We’ve been needed to step our game up.
Smaller price = more money that’s why no one buys merc and Audi over here
This should be the Fleetwood! Bring back the cool names!!!
If Cadillac wants to compete against higher tier luxury vehicles, it needs to separate from GM in manufacturing and dealerships. Ie like Audi is with Volkswagen
UkrainianPunk180 someone gets it!
Audi is a 100 percent subsidiary of Volkwagen. Engines and many other parts for both brands are manufactured in the same factories. Plus, Audi is a much bigger part of VW as Cadillac is in GM, so it is profitable to have separate Audi and VW dealerships.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 still doesn't make sense how you have a 150k Escalade and now 400k Cadillac Celestiq next to a 40k Chevrolet Blazer in a show room. That's horrible corporate management and poor customer service experience.
I dont think those wanting to buy a Porsche have to walk past VW Jettas in the show room....
They missed the oppurtunity here to start getting rid of their "alphabet soup" naming, this should've been called the F L E E T W O O D😎 That said, I think these are the best looking of the recent Cadillacs....IMO!
Agreed. Lincoln got rid of the bullshit alphanumeric names and their sales are going up now. Lots of people don't want to drive cars named after fax machines, smartphones, and printers.
@@97I30T yeah and not to mention their styling is incredible, although their lead designer just left and joined Nissan/Infiniti, talk about a win for them because Infiniti SUVs have to be the ugliest things on the road, I wish Genesis had their SUVs out because it would be a stake in the heart of Infinit, Infinti is pure garbage😠
I tried to order the CT6-V when they could be ordered. All sold in less than 3 hours. I cant wait to see them once they are out.
That car does offer massaging rear seats and heat and cooled and recliner seats in the platinum model
The platinum version has the options in the back seat he was crying about, but he said its not available? Ummm what? And complaining about a bong? If that not nitpicking to the max idk what is.
Me Llaman El Atleta He even reviewed a 2018 cadillac CT6 platinum and it had every option in it and somehow he forgot to mention it in this car smh
The platinum offers rear captains chairs with all those features. Also the platinum is a 20 way adjustable seat not 16.
JLee He even reviewed a 2018 CT6 platinum he was just being negative to this car.
Cadillac should make a bigger and crazier 7 series/maybach competitor and call it the ctx (10)
Agreed
I agree that they could focus more on the small things, like the buttons and the dinging sounds. Seems like it would be a easy thing to do that would add some much needed flair to the interior
I always liked the look of the new cadillacs, but would never consider owning one over the germans or a lexus. Same goes with volvo or genesis.
I prefer the 17’ CTS Vsport
I like the turn signals and LED lights. Overall the car reminds me of a rental car.
I must admit this blows every American, German, Japanese, and Korean luxury sedan out of the water as far as exterior design goes hands down !! Cadillac can’t be touched with their exterior design language. That grille is perfection and the signature vertical DRL never looked better, and they didn’t cheap out with the turn signals that also run the entire length of the DRL look so luxurious and elegant. This car looks like it costs well over $83,000 USD driving down the street, and I hear it drives even better than it looks ,
"I wish it had this" " iwish it had that" every car don't need a flat bottom steering wheel. Just review the car Jesus Christ.
It surprised me when he said its not available with reclining rear seats , when it is...
He is losing watchers AND Subscribers bcuz of what you (and the rest of us) recognize 😐
@@iNeverHadMercy he use to be very objective , but sometimes you can tell how he's trashing a American brand, but doesn't point out the same details in Europe brands...
Omg that car is beautiful
I have an '18' XTS and I've been stopped in parking lots by women and men and they all tell how its the most beautiful car they've seen.Really,so stop bad mouthing the;18' XTS its really great car!
I don't know why, but I was really intrigued by the placement of the hood struts/props under the hood
