This is the most unusual Doug video ever, though I assume he has a reason. He takes great pride in his lack of bias, so there must be some very good reason.
I don’t wanna hear no crap about him having a sponsor. This guy is living the American dream and is always so conscious about making sure to stay professional. Go DOUG
It’s not that I don’t like commercials on my favourite channels is that Doug don’t understand how to incorporate them. First it was cars an bids. I could live with it, I was just hoping for them to be shorter. But the content content ad sucks. I’m not going to wast my time on crap like that.
I had the opportunity to drive one recently. I was very impressed. This car doesn't get the respect it deserves because so many people are ignoring great sedans in favor of crossovers.
I think he said once that he won't accept any sponsorship from a brand he doesn't actually use and greatly respect. While he didn't say it, I suspect he used Constant Contact for his C&B launch.
@@vernonprice5986 So are Mercedes and BMW execs. So tired of fake AMG's, M Sport. I'll give credit to Audi. They have the S and the RS. You know what you are getting.
@@PKPhoenix83 This is worse than Merc and BMW though, because at least Merc and BMW separate them by using M-sport, etc - Cadillac is using the full V name, like CT5-V, when it's really a V-sport. This not only causes confusion, it completely dilutes the V brand.
I’m sure they told Doug they would let cars and bids use their marketing service for a reduced price or free if he did an ad segment. I could care less about him doing ads tho
@Rick Like half the performance models Audi sells everywhere else in the world they refuse to bring to the US. I mean we're lucky we got the RS6 Avant finally. They could be making a killing over here. Bad decision.
@@yahstino It is not just Audi and not just between Europe and the USA. Even within Europe things go bad since car manufacturers arbitrary decide which models and options are available in different countries. For example, some interesting models of Mercedes and their options are simply unavailable for the UK (the country is not poor and the options in questions are not related to the left-handiness of the drive lanes, so there is no real excuse). It ALMOST looks like marketing departments have to "earn" their salaries/budgets so they "study" markets to come up with those ridiculous decisions instead of just allowing people to buy what they want.
@@gremcs Except this one feels very different. He's reading a script, the same exact script that the radio ads use for Constant Contact. It was very awkward, and I really hope this is the last one he does. Previous videos that had him plug a product seemed a lot more natural. This just felt like a shill.
@@captbloodbeard I hadn't even heard of this company, but that very well might be how they do things. I did notice it looked like he was reading something under the camera, which does suck - I like Doug for his authenticity, this just felt strange.
i’ve been daily driving this car for about 5 months and i’d say this is a pretty fair review. although i’d definitely give more props to handling and fun factor. the more time i spend in the car the more i find to enjoy it. thanks for the review!
I can definitely appreciate having both physical buttons and touch screen control!! Using a touch screen while driving is not only a PITA, but can also be dangerous given how much attention you have to give to making sure you hit the correct thing. Also nice that there's controls in the center console for easy use by feel. Does seem odd to have those extra dials just under the screen though.
I feel like since auto companies make retro muscle car and sports cars like the Camaro, mustang ect. They should make retro land yachts like the eldorado, or Caprice or cars like that
@@Roderickdl well people loved those blocks on wheels and a retro version of those with new technology like they did with the challengers and camaros would sell like crazy. Alot of people buying suvs and cross overs are the same people that loved those big land yachts and would love a new generation of one
Recently sold my Mercedes CL63 2008 and was in the market for a 4 door sport sedan. It was able to get the 2024 Ct5-V in the new Midnight Steel color. Is the best values for the money and was able to get it 63.9k equipment for 56k on a 3 year lease. The car is mostly under appreciated and that is the reason you can get a very good price with the correct dealer.
I drive a Q50! It's a pretty good car! yea I wish it had just a little more HP, but I can kick the back out no problem and do so in hella comfy seats lol
I have a 2023 ct5v that came with twin turbo v6. I’m telling you now it’s a beast!! I’ve smoked multiple scat packs, mustangs, etc. my buddy has the black wing and recently beat a corvette so maybe the 2020 wasn’t that good.
Cadillac really should've named this the CT5 V-Sport as it replaces the CTS V-Sport in the lineup. I've seen too many reviews (including this one) that compare this car to the CTS V, which is not what it's trying to replace. The real CTS V successor is coming later.
@@bobbyyy. so true. They all love to bash US cars, especially Caddy. Reviewers love German cars... But theyre overrated. I swear reviewers watch each other and repeat the same info and opinions.
I think we’ve lost all perspective when we talk about 4.7 seconds being “way slower” than 4.1 seconds. I can’t remember the last time I ever wished I had gotten somewhere a whole 0.6 of a second sooner.
Didn't Doug explain just a while ago on "More Doug DeMuro" that he's different from other UA-camrs like Hoovie by not advertising stuff that isn't related to cars?
Heard Doug talking about not having a full digital gauge cluster, I just bought a 2021 CT5 V Sport and you can now spend $1,200 to get a 12 inch gauge display for all 2021 CT5 models.
@@sandrokalandadze7978 I'm aware of that, and I hope that continues. Seriously, comment on the car in the video, we all know that Doug says THIS a lot. It's not funny anymore. Y'all are sad.
Can't agree more, and I'm 26 (Millennial). Screens are so boring and fake, the screen in the center plus the main touchscreen are fine but gauges are classic, functional, and don't go out of style, plus I think they're nicer to look at.
I also like real gauges but most instrument clusters have dual gauges (speedo and tach), and as we can see from this Caddy, it is difficult to integrate a good size screen with two real gauges. Porsche 911 probably has the best of both worlds, because it has a center tach gauge design. You get the true analog tach in the middle, flanked by two big screens on the sides which can be configured to your liking. That's my favorite design so far.
The 2021 CT5 has a 12” digital gauge cluster optional like the German competition so this will address that omission if that really concerns you. I mean even the 7-8” center display is already configurable enough probably for most people & that will be the standard gauge cluster screen now lol
I think they are letting cars and bids use their service for a reduced price if Doug did an ad segment. Everything the company does seems like it would be relevant to dougs business but idk
Yeah I never understood that move. The same 3.0TT made 404hp in the CT6, and they both make 400 lb-ft sooooo... yeah. Having driven all three, the 3.0TTs are way smoother than the 3.6 and have much more low-end.
@@jakelee5456 The 404/400 LGW made more sense. But the fact that the V here makes even less than that... idk if it's so it doesn't step on the toes of it's bigger CT6 brother or what.
@@TheBreaded that would make sense, but the 2020 CT6 didn't even offer an LGW. Sometimes I think GM still thinks they're the only major car company in the world.
i like how doug promotes his sponsor. Its not all flashy with some illustrations. It takes me back to the time when ads were cool. Very old-school, Doug.
Rear end reminds of a Nissan Versa. The traditional trunk is a huge missed opportunity - they should have utilized a more practical and sporty hatchback.
Doug’s sponsors are ads that I really don’t mind. He said in a video awhile back on his 2nd channel More Doug Demuro that he doesn’t do ads, and the only times he does is when he truly uses or believes in a product, so I think this ad has a credible source! I love watching Donut Media on the other hand, but their Manscaped ads are just ridiculously random 🤦🏻♂️
Heck i have been in a qx80 and I would instantly choose that over the ct5 v because of one thing. A V8 and it actually looks expensive for a well... expensive suv
Lincoln finally started making some real luxury cars again instead of rebadged Fords. I think Caddy and Lincoln need to separate farther from the parent companies as for as what they make if they want to be looked at as a real competitor against Mercedes or BMW. I think Lincoln did well with the Navigator, but the Escalade still looks like a rebadged GMC.
Michael Conran Yes...just like Japan is being back their sports cars/super cars by the likes of the GTR, NSX,400Z and Supra amongst others, America should also bring back their luxurious vehicles
To the point about introducing the V first before Blackwing - BMW introduced the M340i before the M3. The M3 is expected because it has a history, but it's not necessarily a bad choice. Part of the issue I think is that cars have become so powerful, that you have to separate experience - a more sporty experience vs vehicle for the track. It's a sign of the era we are in for vehicles - it's harder to provide value through power. I'll wait to see what Cadillac will do with the Blackwing before forming any deeper opinion. Great review as always.
Cadillac is really stepping up they’re game. This Cadillac is beautiful. I hope Cadillac in the future goes so far as to compete with other high end European luxury car brands and makes 12 cylinder cars with hand crafted detailed interiors
Doug, hope you read this, I'm a long-time viewer of your channel and I'm really glad you've gotten to the level of success you have. :) Just an FYI, as an auto-journalist (outside of your channel), you seem to be the single most influential force in the car world and on the car market. I see you referenced now all the time in articles, and when you say a car is a "great deal," I can literally watch the prices rise and scarcity for that model increase. It's wild. My only request is that you don't do a review on the ISF because prices are already nuts. Thanks for all your reviews over the years!
21:45 "Honey, who is that guy talking to?" Caddy is slipping... For fack sake just bring back Fleetwood, Deville, Seville and Eldorado. Take all the ABC-123's mess and dump it. Oh and Dougy... No point at all in blurring the badges on the Land Rover. We all know what it is. Edit for typo
Agreed, Cadillac should have never tried to copy the European brands' meaningful model nomenclatures with a jumble of alphanumeric soup. DeNysschen was an idiot, Carlisle could have corrected the CT5 "v" but clearly didn't. The V car I'm hoping for is 550+ HP wagon.
People are ready for traditional Cadillac styling again. Look at Lincoln. American luxury can make a comeback if Cadillac stops trying to be European luxury..
@@charleshein4477 because they want global market and US luxury cars dont sell well outside US. And btw luxury euro cars sell well everywhere that why they try to copy them
I wish auto manufacturers would just allow android to develop the universal software. You make the damn car. Contract the infotainment to somebody who knows what the hell they’re doing.
Doug talks about the "pretty cool feature " of being able to turn on the heated/cooled seats when you use the remote start. He acts like this is a new feature but my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has this option.
Cadillac's been graded on a curve for a long time now, because American automotive journalists desperately want the Germans to have American competition. That doesn't happen AS MUCH now that Lincoln's not only no longer a joke, but makes some of the nicest interiors on the market period. They want sport though, Motor Trend is happy to finally have a GLS competitor but wants something to go against the M5. Still, now that an American brand is actually an example of a good luxury interior, Cadillacs don't get to be "as good as BMW" just because they drive as well. But Cadillac ultimately is still an underdog, story and everyone loves to root for the underdog. There's always an effort to search for standard features on a Kia or Chrysler that they can claim are cool, unique, and luxurious because most people won't know better.
Coronavirus must have really hit Doug hard... I can’t ever remember seeing another sponsor and I’m kind of hoping to not see one again. It just seems- demeaning in a way. On the upside, the ad read was mildly hilarious in an unintentional 1978 sort of way.
I agree. America knows how to make some good looking trucks and SUV's but phone it in with the cars. Other than the halo cars most are bland. As far as American sedans go, the new Camry blows them all away in looks.
It reminds me a lot of the styling by Infiniti’s Q series. Just the front, back, and partially the wheels. Cadillacs do have some hefty power and are enjoyable to drive.
It's amazing how far we've come in the last 10-15 years... 400hp is now the mid-level performance model....
They should have called this the "V-Sport" like previous generations and save the true V designation for the performance V8's.
The ats v is a v6TT and its still amazing
Or for actual, proper performance...All-electric 1000hp drivetrain.

That "Constant Contact" portion feels like a 1980s ad that you got in VHS. Just in 4K. And with Doug. And with a Land Rover Defender from that time.

I'm very glad that you're dissatisfied, and I hope it continues

@@sandrokalandadze7978 I'm aware of that, and I hope that continues. Seriously, comment on the car in the video, we all know that Doug says THIS a lot. It's not funny anymore. Y'all are sad.
And now we have the one we were hoping for.
Can't wait for Doug to drive the manual one!
This car looks like it's business in the front, Honda Accord in the back.
That’s actually really true
The newest Honda Accord looks better than this
Or a Nissan Versa looking from the side
Analog gauge cluster over digital every day of the week.
Yep, Gauge cluster should be simple, just what you need to know. How many friggin screens you need?
Can't agree more, and I'm 26 (Millennial). Screens are so boring and fake, the screen in the center plus the main touchscreen are fine but gauges are classic, functional, and don't go out of style, plus I think they're nicer to look at.
I also like real gauges but most instrument clusters have dual gauges (speedo and tach), and as we can see from this Caddy, it is difficult to integrate a good size screen with two real gauges.
Porsche 911 probably has the best of both worlds, because it has a center tach gauge design. You get the true analog tach in the middle, flanked by two big screens on the sides which can be configured to your liking. That's my favorite design so far.
Same here, the only exception being Mercedes-Benz, VW/Audi & Lexus.

The seats look like they're wearing wifebeaters.
DAMN YOU why did you have to ruin that for me.
Good call
Hahahah
I can't unsee it now 😂
Lol....yeah
The 2021 CT5 has a 12” digital gauge cluster optional like the German competition so this will address that omission if that really concerns you. I mean even the 7-8” center display is already configurable enough probably for most people & that will be the standard gauge cluster screen now lol
I bet everyone is reading comments while paid promotion is running 😀
Nah just double tapped my screen a few times 😂
It was easier to skip than an ad at least, just a couple double clicks yeah
And thisssss is one more sponsor
I think they are letting cars and bids use their service for a reduced price if Doug did an ad segment. Everything the company does seems like it would be relevant to dougs business but idk

GM: "We have a 335HP V6"
Also GM: "Lets make a twin turbo V6 that makes... 25 more hp"
whyyyyy
Yeah I never understood that move. The same 3.0TT made 404hp in the CT6, and they both make 400 lb-ft sooooo... yeah. Having driven all three, the 3.0TTs are way smoother than the 3.6 and have much more low-end.
@@jakelee5456 The 404/400 LGW made more sense. But the fact that the V here makes even less than that... idk if it's so it doesn't step on the toes of it's bigger CT6 brother or what.
@@TheBreaded that would make sense, but the 2020 CT6 didn't even offer an LGW. Sometimes I think GM still thinks they're the only major car company in the world.
So you pay more and eventually the turbos will broke down and you will pay 😝😝
Different power band? The twin turbo may have more torque available at lower rpm's.
i like how doug promotes his sponsor. Its not all flashy with some illustrations. It takes me back to the time when ads were cool. Very old-school, Doug.
Doug doing a sponsored video! Indeed
2020 is different 😆😆

Who’s ready for Doug to review the CT5 Blackwing
Rear end reminds of a Nissan Versa. The traditional trunk is a huge missed opportunity - they should have utilized a more practical and sporty hatchback.
clothestravel ur weird bro
GAtlas05 so are you “bro”
Looks like the impala kinda.
clothestravel Yep I am weird but technically- imo, the sportier version is the traditional sedan. You don’t see super cars that are hatchbacks do you?
@@noahmcclure2515 audi rs7
Doug’s sponsors are ads that I really don’t mind. He said in a video awhile back on his 2nd channel More Doug Demuro that he doesn’t do ads, and the only times he does is when he truly uses or believes in a product, so I think this ad has a credible source!
I love watching Donut Media on the other hand, but their Manscaped ads are just ridiculously random 🤦🏻♂️
I hate donut media with a passion
Im figuring he uses that sponsor for Cars & Bids or something
I always skip to the middle of the video but today I went back just to see the sponsor part ^^
It looks like a “premium” rental at the airport
Heck i have been in a qx80 and I would instantly choose that over the ct5 v because of one thing. A V8 and it actually looks expensive for a well... expensive suv
Dude please gtfoh with your haterade. This car is absolutely stunning.
@@DatboiYugo It doesn't look expensive. It screams Nissan Armada trying too hard too look expensive. The Outcome: A dated, hideous looking SUV.

Doug must have gotten a lot of money he doesn’t usually do sponsorships.
I know that’s what I was thinking. It’s kinda sad to see him do it he said he would never
Brian Francis Well he said that he wouldn’t usually do it unless they gave him an offer he couldn’t turn down.
Yeah i think they paid him a fuck ton. Or maybe its a company he genuinely supports, because he says he does those.
@@rubberbandmandestruction390 no Doug said he wouldn't take the sponsership unless it was something he actually uses.
Yeah be has done sponsorships for a speaker for example so it's not the first time.
There was a time when one would associate the name Cadillac to American Luxury Vehicle and then, there is the random Cadillac today
Lincoln finally started making some real luxury cars again instead of rebadged Fords. I think Caddy and Lincoln need to separate farther from the parent companies as for as what they make if they want to be looked at as a real competitor against Mercedes or BMW. I think Lincoln did well with the Navigator, but the Escalade still looks like a rebadged GMC.
Michael Conran
Yes...just like Japan is being back their sports cars/super cars by the likes of the GTR, NSX,400Z and Supra amongst others, America should also bring back their luxurious vehicles
To the point about introducing the V first before Blackwing - BMW introduced the M340i before the M3. The M3 is expected because it has a history, but it's not necessarily a bad choice. Part of the issue I think is that cars have become so powerful, that you have to separate experience - a more sporty experience vs vehicle for the track. It's a sign of the era we are in for vehicles - it's harder to provide value through power. I'll wait to see what Cadillac will do with the Blackwing before forming any deeper opinion. Great review as always.
Cars & Bids couldn't afford the ad space on Doug's vids anymore??
“I used the dials to control the dials.” -Cadillac Thanos, probably
Cadillac is really stepping up they’re game. This Cadillac is beautiful. I hope Cadillac in the future goes so far as to compete with other high end European luxury car brands and makes 12 cylinder cars with hand crafted detailed interiors
Am I the only one who thought the title said CTS-V ? ...
*tears up* No, but I wish the CTS-V still lived.
Yeah calling it the CT5 was clearly a shady way of confusing buyers into thinking they are getting the better V.
Geeze chill...there’s a full on V blackwing coming soon w a six manual. This is for the considerable amount of in between buyers
Doug, hope you read this, I'm a long-time viewer of your channel and I'm really glad you've gotten to the level of success you have. :)
Just an FYI, as an auto-journalist (outside of your channel), you seem to be the single most influential force in the car world and on the car market. I see you referenced now all the time in articles, and when you say a car is a "great deal," I can literally watch the prices rise and scarcity for that model increase. It's wild.
My only request is that you don't do a review on the ISF because prices are already nuts. Thanks for all your reviews over the years!
Here in Europe Peugeot has the vertical daylight running lights in the front as their signature styling.. Love the styling of the new 508
Doug: The CT5-V is shit.
CT5-V: *sad noises*
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
This thing is a TOTAL shit box!!!
21:45 "Honey, who is that guy talking to?"
Caddy is slipping... For fack sake just bring back Fleetwood, Deville, Seville and Eldorado. Take all the ABC-123's mess and dump it.
Oh and Dougy... No point at all in blurring the badges on the Land Rover. We all know what it is.
Edit for typo
Agreed, Cadillac should have never tried to copy the European brands' meaningful model nomenclatures with a jumble of alphanumeric soup. DeNysschen was an idiot, Carlisle could have corrected the CT5 "v" but clearly didn't.
The V car I'm hoping for is 550+ HP wagon.
ua-cam.com/video/kFgFPPYc5JU/v-deo.html
I agree all the early 80s -90s eldorado and Seville’s were legit
People are ready for traditional Cadillac styling again. Look at Lincoln. American luxury can make a comeback if Cadillac stops trying to be European luxury..
@@charleshein4477 because they want global market and US luxury cars dont sell well outside US. And btw luxury euro cars sell well everywhere that why they try to copy them
I wish auto manufacturers would just allow android to develop the universal software. You make the damn car. Contract the infotainment to somebody who knows what the hell they’re doing.
I totally agree! Give it some skins that match the interior.... done.
Doug talks about the "pretty cool feature " of being able to turn on the heated/cooled seats when you use the remote start. He acts like this is a new feature but my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has this option.
I have an STS, and when I use the remote start it turns on either the heated or cooled seats.
Cadillac's been graded on a curve for a long time now, because American automotive journalists desperately want the Germans to have American competition. That doesn't happen AS MUCH now that Lincoln's not only no longer a joke, but makes some of the nicest interiors on the market period. They want sport though, Motor Trend is happy to finally have a GLS competitor but wants something to go against the M5. Still, now that an American brand is actually an example of a good luxury interior, Cadillacs don't get to be "as good as BMW" just because they drive as well. But Cadillac ultimately is still an underdog, story and everyone loves to root for the underdog. There's always an effort to search for standard features on a Kia or Chrysler that they can claim are cool, unique, and luxurious because most people won't know better.
Welp, here we go. Doug is taking on sponsors.

I have a CT5 myself and talk about old school, I actually wish it had a CD player. Not kidding!
Doug the type of guy to trade his CarsandBids spiel for a paid sponsorship
Making the commercial feel like a car review.... Now that is branding!!
I saw a white CT5 on the freeway yesterday, and it looks GOOD in person imo. Well done Caddy.
My 2015 Chrysler has the remote heated and cooled seats as well. It is as good as it sounds, trust me

2020, when you can't discern Cadillac and Toyota design any longer.
The Center consol and center dash just seem so BMW... Even before Toyota came out with the BMW supra
The weird c pillar reminds me of a Honda Accord
The front looks like a Mazda from the side angle.
So basically Cadillac just stole a bunch of bits from other cars and stuck them together. lol
Probably because they want it to be big in China.
What I like about this car over the competitors is the styling, I catually think this is the best looking vehicle in Cadillac's current lineup.
Doug : A portion of this video has bees sponsored by Constant Contact..
Me: DoUg ???? U Ok, R u ReAllY DoUg?
Probably because ad revenue is low during the pandemic.
Coronavirus must have really hit Doug hard... I can’t ever remember seeing another sponsor and I’m kind of hoping to not see one again. It just seems- demeaning in a way. On the upside, the ad read was mildly hilarious in an unintentional 1978 sort of way.
Relax, he is stupid rich at this point. He will be fine.

I agree. America knows how to make some good looking trucks and SUV's but phone it in with the cars. Other than the halo cars most are bland. As far as American sedans go, the new Camry blows them all away in looks.
Who else watched the ad because they just love Doug so much they would watch ads just because Doug narrates them?
It reminds me a lot of the styling by Infiniti’s Q series. Just the front, back, and partially the wheels. Cadillacs do have some hefty power and are enjoyable to drive.
