What you fail to mention is that this is priced like an M2 not an M3. In reality we know it’s more like an M3. But the M3 cost $76k to start. Where this starts almost spot on with M2. So, if you are counting Benjamins it competes with the M2.
What kind of nonsense are you spewing? I just bought my 1500 mile CT4V BW for $57k. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself. The majority of BWs go for 60 to 65k. And new m2s are 55k to 60. You can't buy a new m3 under 80k.
Hey @Accerler8, Can you compare the Integra Type S, CT4 Blackwing, and G80 M3 all in 6MT? I am looking at a used G80 M3, Used Blackwing, or new Type S. Obviously there is a price difference but If money was not an option, which would you take?
Did all the Canadian car reviewers get the same CT4 Blackwing to review?? I swear I've seen 3 different reviews on this car from Canada & its the same color, same transmission, same interior.
Yes, and they just sold this car. It had 13,000 kms and was listed as a “demo”. You know, the same kind of demo that the dealership manager buys and then sells a few months later. Except this car had the ever living crap beat out of it. When I asked the dealership about tires, brakes and clutch condition, they said “it’s only got 13k km, it’s fine.” I politely passed. They ended up selling it for MSRP to a customer that didn’t know its history.
@@DMCarReviewsNo it is not. The m340i is a better luxury car but definitely not a more fun car. I have this and the supra, which should be more of a driver's car compare to the m340i, and I can assure you the manual ct4v BW is more fun
@@DMCarReviewsStop. Just stop. The M340i is not a better car than this car in terms of driver engagement, handling, fun, braking, hell even looks etc. The BMW is more luxurious and about the same speed. You're being disingenuous and biased by telling everybody that the M340i is simply better.
Depends. The blackwing will be a much better car if you like to drive. More fun, better handling, etc. But the M340i is better as a luxury car. Depends what youre looking for.

The CT4 platform has the same wheelbase as the prior ATS - both using GM's alpha chassis (Camaro too). Back in the ATS /ATS-V days they were marketed right in the C segment with the BMW 3/M3 and MB C-Class/AMG version. The down marketing to the sub-compact segment I believe was done due to GM/Caddy lowering the base pricing for all CT4 variants (and CT5 too) a substantial amount. The only way they could 'justify' this price shift was to move down segment on both cars so as to not piss off all the previous owners of ATS and CTS cars (who I guess paid too much - myself included - for our ATS/CTS cars?). This marketing slight of hand hasn't fooled anyone. I owned an ATS 2L Turbo initially and then upgraded to the ATS-V (both 6sp manuals) and used it as both a daily and a track car for 3.5 years before selling. Hellavu car and quite capable. I hung with many an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglios & M3's out on track lapping days. From what I've read and viewed, the CT4-V BW has incremental performance increases, but does a much better job on the luxury equation, having a much nicer interior. I might consider a CPO CT4-V BW at some point... but will say my Caddy dealership experience was more like a Chevy dealership with maybe better loaner cars. Caddy still needs to work on the customer experience as it is no where near the level to the Euro or Japanese premium brands.
He pulls the "German influence" card, because "domestic cars" have been shit on by a narrative for so long that he feels necessary to compare and pull in Euro comparisons/influence to make you feel okay with a "domestic" car. It's the same as people say to Black people, "you're quite articulate" or "you're so well-spoken" or "you're one of the good ones". Whatever gets you through the day, I suppose.
I would not get the Manuel I would get the 10 speed automatic 0-60 in 3.8 Seconds that's as fast as the 2023 SS 2023 GT and faster than the 2023 Scat pack 6.4L v8.
You should learn to drive a manual (the quarter mile times and speed are the same between the auto and manual). As far as resale is concerned, the manual is going to hold its value way more.
I got a chance to test drive the CT4 BW. It wasn't bad, nice engine. But the interior didn't justify the price tag. I mean, it is a Cadillac. Looking at the interiors of Cadillac and Chevy, they still feel and look the same. Maybe the newer models will be much better.
Dated exterior versus what, exactly? The M3/M4 look awful, the G70 is just OK, the RS5 looks damn good, as does the Alfa Romeo Giulia (even though it's old now).
Used V cars are selling for MSRP the past few years in Canada. Only in the US does the value dip a little, but GM is throttling production so they don’t flood the market. They’re basically doing the Ferrari trick.
No, there's no hype what so ever! This thing is slower than its competition! Maybe it can beat the Lexus IS500, but the German rivals will Moonwalk up n down this Caddy.
@@DMCarReviews Maybe. Maybe not. The G80 m3s are faster. but the caddy just gives a better driving experience if you care about rowing your own gears. No lift shift + GM's alpha chassis makes for a better manual driving experience than anything BMW has to offer. I cant speak for the autos. Maybe BMW autos are better. Don't really care about that. Not interested in anything with less than 3 pedals. Still need to give both manufacturers credit for keeping the sticks alive tho.... They are the only 2 that remain.
@@chilli1695 BMW has a manual option too. They make way better suspension's too. Also, go check the u turn radius of that Cadillac. The X7 has a better u turn radius
@@DMCarReviews I know they have a manual option. But BMW manuals are notorious for feeling rubbery and their clutches aren't any better. The Tremec system in the caddy is about as good as manuals get. Also, the chassis on the BWs have long been praised for being better than the G80s. Steering is more direct, and the magride system used in GM products is so good Ferrari paid GM for the rights to use it. M3s are faster, but they don't handle as well or feel as good to drive. Again, this is only the case if your talking manual. No idea about the autos. Could be a completely different story.
Would you buy this over an Audi RS3 or Mercedes-AMG CLA 45?
Out of the 3 it's definitely the best bang for your buck.
Over RS3 yes, over CLA 45 AMG, no way.....that thing is a legend as we will not ever in our lifetimes see a 400 hp I4 from Benz again.

if you want a great manual transmission and engine sound get the caddy. If you just want to press one pedal and steer probably the audi
@@kareem9582 Ye that or the cla are great but the caddy is more of a drivers car
I remember ordering my Cadillac CTS in this color. This was in 2002. I really want the CT5 V Blackwing but this is looking more affordable.
It is
Cadillac’s design language is so sinister. I see why they’re giving the entire lineup the CT4’s DRL styling.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now...and your content is just amazing...💯
We appreciate that!
I didn’t think this was a good looking car, until I saw it in all black with limo tint. Then I was like 👀👀👀! And you gotta love no-lift-shift!
Yes, and the way it looks from the rear!
Why you like an Cadillac?!
Maybe you saw mine 😏
yep CTSV's look they're best in all black hands down. I've noticed this since the last generations.

But considering scat pack markups possibly those too

I have a 23 CT4V Blackwing with the auto. It does under 4.0 easy. Fastest I have gotten is 3.7 secs
4.8 do you would like this car then Ford..?!

@@calesticall128 not sure what you mean about 4.8? Also Ford doesn't have a comparable vehicle to this.
Auto? You should have gotten the manual. It will be the unicorn commanding much more than the auto on resale plus it is way, way more fun.
It runs sub 4.0 seconds with the auto, not the manual.
nice video 👍
