Hey long time viewer here. Just noticed now but thanks for not spamming ads throughout unlike other TH-camrs. Can understand if you decide to go that way at some point but your videos are some of the few that start immediately into content, rather than ads. Hats off on everything else as usual!
What a phenomenal review. 19:39 - 20:03 - that was the best ad you could ever have for this car. Clean, crisp audio, the burble of the engine noise, rolling into the throttle entering the freeway - just perfect. I want to buy this car so badly now.
In my opinion the only drawbacks are the taillights. I personally don’t like them. But from any other angle (including interior) the car is just beautiful.
Similar pricing and power as the Stinger GT... a littile bit nicer interior than that but then this is optioned up?? But the Stinger is way more practical.
No they don't. This ambient or 'mood' lighting craze is getting as silly as the mindless RGB craze in the PC hardware world. no more low class pimpification of car interiors please.
Holy shit the GM chime has finally changed. GM used the same seatbelt chime for like 30 years and was used in all their brands. Nice to see GM put a tiny bit of effort into Caddy
Cadillac needs proper engineered audio systems for all its vehicles. Similar to the effort of the Bose Panary for the CT6. Bose premium audio is always underwhelming to those folks who actually like good audio like myself. For a luxury brand they need to offer good engineered audio systems with higher power. Other luxury brands do this. Bose premium is just not special as it is common. Good Review like always!
THANK YOU! No highs, no lows, must be Bose. I was so disappointed when Hyundai and Kia started putting Bose systems in their cars instead of the Harmon/Kardon ones they used to.
i always hear complaints about these GM bose systems, but I've never felt like those complaints are really justified, for the majority of people these systems are really good. If you really want a premium audio system you should pick components yourself.
@@XZAKLY99 That is unfortunate! Harmon/Kardon has more powerful car systems than bose. I reckon Hyundai did not want to pay the price for Harmon/Kardon system anymore.
@@protovack I agree with you about what the masses think. Bose is the first audio brand that most people buy when they want to buy "good" audio. Since they are better than lower tier audio brands. The problem with your last point is that modern cars have the stereo unit integrated. So it is just not as easy as replacing the drivers and amps. Especially for the touch screens with an integrated stereo.
It’s a great car and perfect for its segment in the market. Caddy has plenty of problems, which all caddy owners know, but those who totally dismiss or hate on the product haven’t driven or owned a caddy ever (or in years). Pound for pound and dollar for dollar compare the options and power of a caddy, and then see how bmw, Benz, or Audi compare. Those makers will be much more $$$ on the msrp.
@@w41duvernay I would likely have difficulties in your car, unless your car has massive headroom. So many cars got small (in headroom) due to more 'sporty' angles. I've never heard of anyone getting claustrophobic in a car. I had a sunroof on my last car and was always paranoid of it leaking or cracking from hail in the Spring.
That’s awesome congrats. I have a 2016 CTS vsport and a 2018 CT6 premium luxury and love both. Waiting for CT5 Blackwing now! Even though the CT5V is incredible!
1st timer here. I appreciate the high quality sound of the video and the soft voice of the host. Thanks, I’ve subscribed to this channel. BTW , I will buy this Cady in 2021 with Super Cruise 👏👏👏. Tesla: Good Bye !
Great looking car. I’m really impressed. They did a really nice job with it. The only thing I really don’t like is the “stuck on” look of the infotainment screen. It would look much nicer if it was integrated into the dash. Can’t wait to see the “real” V. I just wish it had the “real” Blackwing engine in it!
This is the best review of this I’ve seen. It also makes the best case for it. It looks good in black; even that black plastic piece of window trim almost makes sense. Performance looks good and it seems enjoyable, but as this review and others point out, reluctant downshifts undermine hard driving enjoyment.
Yeah, sometimes they make it too convoluting because they decided to use an older name for something else and develop a new name when people are used to the old name being what the new name means. So stupid. It really just puts people off and sometimes they won't even bother checking a car out anymore because of some dumb marketing shit.
Just like my friends Lincoln. The American luxury companies may be making a comeback, but I would not trust them. Come to think of it I dont trust many luxury car companies ...
@@keving7940 again, it's the tires. I have the same tires on my 19 c300 coupe and they do the same thing when I'm turning that tight turns at high speeds. It's a combination of the tires and 4matic or all wheel drive.
Wow. Great review. I'm amazed at this cadillac. The only other cadillac I liked before this and kept up with was the cadillac cts v. But this is a suitable replacement for me because I'm actually looking and comparing a bunch awd sedan choices so that I know what I finally want out of the mix when I'm ready to go buy. Awd is especially important to me so that I can get around all season long and be ready for snow and rain. Rwd won't do that for me and fwd isn't enough either.
Too bad the Blackwing they built for the CT6 which was discontinued when the engine launched (only 200 will ever be built) won't be the V8 this car gets. Rather it is an older Camero V8 engine. www.caranddriver.com/news/a30629835/cadillac-ct5v-v8-engine/#:~:text=We%20hear%20that%20the%20new,its%20predecessor%20the%20CTS%2DV.
@@Buc_Stops_Here I am glad it is going to be the LT4 (modified). I hate turbo engines. Besides if one wants a turbo V8 they can go to the Germans. The supercharged small block engine makes the car unique.
To the people saying the interior looks cheap...I don't understand what you see in an Audi/BMW or Mercedes that's any better for this price point lol. There's always some severe bias favouring the germans "Just because"
@@Cannolilatte The Cadillac offers much nicer options than the basic black shown in the review. I bought one with the Maple sugar option, look it up! Open pore wood and beautifully coloured leather. (All the options are no cost by the way)
Folks have to keep in mind that the old CTS V Sport started at over $60k...which made it inaccessible for many people, especially once options were tacked on and also impractical as a daily driver due to fuel economy around 15mpg...with the CT5 V starting at around $47k, it is more affordable and can sell more units but obviously cut backs on power and premium features.. however for 2021 they will be doing some key interior upgrades including super cruise, premium leather wrapped steering wheel, wireless CarPlay, and a 12 inch fully digital gauge cluster
That engine has a bit of a VQ-esque sound to me, and that's not a bad thing. My only complaint for this thing is that from what I've seen and heard the rear legroom isn't that different compared to the outgoing CTS. The back seat in the old CTS is kinda cramped, with not a whole lot of legroom nor headroom (coming from a 5'11" guy with spider legs.) That with the low height of the thing kinda concerns me about this car's ability to grand tour. Nevertheless, Cadillac, despite its common detractors, is still doing damn well and you can tell with its interiors and exteriors in the excellent style and quality of workmanship. I wonder if more fleet companies will pick up basic CT6's for their services since the XTS is dead, I would much rather have those than the gussied-up Impala that the XTS was!
I purchased a new CT5V and it is a nice car. My car had a MSRP of $64,390. I look at Kelly Blue Book and Trade In Value is $43,350. I traded a 2018 CT6 3.0 TT Platinum and the trade in is $45,725. The CT6 was a much better car. Not happy at all.
Hits: exterior design, power, handling, infotainment Misses: build quality, price, middling stereo, engine note, interior design, parts quality If they priced this loaded version at $45-50k, I'd give them a B for being aware that they still have improvements to make. At over $60k, and at $1000/month for a lease, it's a C-. These will be lot queens.
Nice car, but the transmission on my M340i has completely spoiled me. The shifts are so immediate for a non Dual-Clutch setup, it's hard to believe that there is much out there that's better at this price point.
There would be more luxury if the small driver-side and passenger side mirror were bigger. Being the size they are you end up having to turn your head before every lane change. And it'd be nice if PSI, Engine-Temperature and Fuel status displayed in the dash cluster. As it is you have to fuss with the steering wheel controls to see them. And it'd be nicer if the GPS pointed toward the driver instead of the roof center light. The demo would have been better if we could see the GPS going with a destination. And it'd be nice to see a switch from GPS to CD and back. And seeing the backup camera and the blind-spot camera (if there is one) would have been nice. Eh I own a 07 GM and it's pretty much the same except it's not LED.
Sounds exactly like an Infiniti G35 sedan, from the exhaust bark to the valvetrain sounds at idle with the hood open. A huge plus since Nissan refuses to make a car that nice anymore. Seems to drive nicely enough as well. Will keep an eye on these used. ;)
Dull and drab is a bit of an understatement, while this interior is functional and very well laid out, this just doesn't scream luxury to me. Would have liked to have see some ambient lighting, fully digital display, amoung some other amentities. It's a great car but I feel it's not worth the price they are charging for it. I have no problem paying aroung 35-40k for this. EDIT: When comparing this to the new Acura TLX that came out, this seems like a bit of a compromise. If this came in a manual, I think Cadillac would have something here.
Am I the only one who thought 90's BMW interior when you look at it from the POV perspective? Not a copy per se, but the way it was ergonomically designed.
Now this or a C43 AMG? I know the W205 Benz is getting a little long in the tooth but the LCI models offer 385HP and the motor/trans are holding up well despite people tuning them for even more power. Both cars have functional interiors and exterior styling is good.
One major thing that this car and literally any BMW share is the same crap fake engine sound. On WOT they both have a horrible ear piercing sound, which companies like Mercedes and even the cheaper automakers dont have. It detracts from the feel of it. And then the interior, while non offensive, it just doesnt stand up to the rest. You can tell things in here are from a Chevy, like the turn signal stalk, the infotainment, the gauges, the window switches, etc. At least they got rid of that god awful touch sensitive center stack. It could totally use a fully digital gauge cluster. At this point its a must have in a luxury car. The kind of people who buy this car will also have enough money for any of the other german brands, and when Cadillac is constantly outclassed, even by Lincoln, theres a reason that nobody buys this brand anymore. If i were to choose between this or a C43 for 5 grand more, I would go for the C43 because it fills in huge gaps that this has.

The interior looks very last gen to me. The gauges, the center console, the lack of color, etc

They added a full digital gauge cluster for 2021.
Yeah the interior looks like an afterthought, which doesn't surprise me given who's pumping it out.

And then the interior, while non offensive, it just doesnt stand up to the rest. You can tell things in here are from a Chevy, like the turn signal stalk, the infotainment, the gauges, the window switches, etc. At least they got rid of that god awful touch sensitive center stack. It could totally use a fully digital gauge cluster. At this point its a must have in a luxury car. The kind of people who buy this car will also have enough money for any of the other german brands, and when Cadillac is constantly outclassed, even by Lincoln, theres a reason that nobody buys this brand anymore. If i were to choose between this or a C43 for 5 grand more, I would go for the C43 because it fills in huge gaps that this has.
nicktune1219 full digital gauge cluster announced as available for 2021, plus Cadillac will offer the best in class Super Cruise.
Dude you need to try the new Cadillac Escalade 2021 it´s insane. Are you going to?
At this price point I’d rather have the Genesis G80 3.3L sport... idc fight me 🤷🏾♂️
CEEJAY your A8 at msrp is far beyond anything caddy offers. You can get 3 ct5’s for an a8. Not sure what your point is...
Topher, any idea on when you'll get the Blackwing to test? Manual, of course.
