      Blame Cadillac.
      Last year they put out a press release saying the CT5 will replace ATS and CTS.
      A few weeks later they unveiled the CT4...a replacement for the ATS.
      Cadillac themselves caused this confusion.

    • @patrickbec68
      @patrickbec68 4 роки тому +3

      Not true. The CT5 replaces the CTS and the CT4 enters a new category for Cadillac to compete with the Audi A-3, BMW 2 Series, CLA etc; the confusion is due to the CT4 being based on the ATS (essentially it’s an ATS MCE). The pricing is the clue together with Cadillacs statements to the press.

    • @jayemejuru9856
      @jayemejuru9856 4 роки тому

      patrickbec68 originally the CT5 was gonna replace both but with the unveiling of the CT4 Cadillac said that would replace the ATS by competing with its current competition and also going into a new segment as well. I know this because I work for Cadillac.

    • @patrickbec68
      @patrickbec68 4 роки тому +1

      JaytuJay Emejuru That is false. The CT4 and CT5 were developed together as A2L and A2LL, the strategy of the CT5 replacing both ATS and CTS and CT4 being a new sub-compact entrant was stated by DeNysschen and Carlisle has since repeated it. The CT4 isn’t something new that resulted in a changed strategy. The pricing shows the competitive set, you will note the CT5 MSRP is priced a few hundred dollars below the 3 Series and the CT4 a few hundred below the A3/CLA.

    GM still doesn't get it. They continue to build cars that are just good enough, never best in class. This car is slower than almost all of its competition. They claim that they want to be the top luxury brand in the world, yet they release half baked cars like this. I'm not saying that this isn't a nice car. However, the competition is brutal and you need to bring your A game if you want to be relevant. This is more of a B- effort. They can do better but just won't.

    The CT4, while it serves in a lower level, is still essentially an ATS in terms of size. Wider, longer, yes, but still clearly ATS DNA especially in the window architecture. The CT5 may replace two models, but the CT4 still serves as the smaller car in the lineup just as the ATS did.

    Just test drove a 2021 Premium Luxury with the V6. Too much engine noise, especially for it being the luxury trim. Also, during the drive I was hearing a loud hissing noise, like the radio was on a station without reception. However the radio was off. I asked the sales guy and he said it was the ventilated seats. So, I turned it off and noise gone. Been in other cars with ventilated seats and never experienced that, very weird. It’s those little details that keep me from switching from German to American.

      @bobbyyy. 4 роки тому +2

      Chris A222 The CT5 is bigger than a ATS but smaller than a CTS. The CT5 replaces both models. The CT4 competes in a new category in the sub compact category. Such as the Mercedes CLA and the new BMW 1 series but the CT4 is built on a RWD platform while its German competitors are built on FWD platforms. Cadillac designed the CT4 to be roomy and RWD that’s why a lot of people think it’s a ATS replacement when in fact it’s actually a totally new car.

    No digital gauge cluster is a huge miss at this price point. Not having a soft cover on the center console lid is just idiocy. Plastic paddle shifters are also a miss. They should have been metal. In keeping with Cadillac interior trim, I'm going to assume that that glove box door is hard plastic, as is the lower portion of the door trim panels. Cadillac needs to step up and away from Chevrolet and use soft touch materials on those surfaces. Nice looking car but it doesn't move the needle at all in this segment.

      Derek Robinson the $12k extra over the starting price does not include any powertrain upgrades. This is still a 350T base engine which means the exhaust note will be the same as the base $37k CT5. So not sure why you thought because it’s $50k the exhaust note would change.

    The interiors of ALL the new Cadillacs are so bland and scream CHEAP! The Interiors on the new Hyundai Sonata and upcoming Kia Optima look WAY more luxurious than this and they have all the safety and luxury equipment offered in this car for THOUSANDS less. Come on Cadillac. Fire your entire interior design team and get some fresh blood with fresh luxury perspective. One last FYI, Carbon Fiber does NOT lend a luxury feel to anything and piano black surfaces should be banned from any car where people use their fingers or hands to touch anything. Give us some nice matte, open-pore wood and aluminum or knurled metal accent surfaces and slather the rest in soft leather or maybe a nice quality silk cloth!
