Yeah, Cadillac fan here. Love those cars. Very fresh design, great to drive and great technology. There aren't many cars today that really catch my interest, but most Cadillacs and Lincolns do.
The car is hideous. I wish Cadillac would stop trying to chase the unreliable German cars and return to their roots of full-size luxury cruisers. Until then, I'll stick with a 1970 Sedan deVille...
The escalas design language works better on sedans , wasn't impressed with it on the xt6 but looks good here. As for the interior it's alright , nothing stellar though I do applaud them for offering super Cruise. 👍
Jordan Catcher I kinda like that it’s simpler. Less to fix and for the possible price that it’s gonna be priced at it’s a good car. It needs some things done to make it better but not every car is perfect
@ Lord, still stuck in the past GM, BMW, Mercedes, and Ford and other car companies have stepped up their quality lately don't be jealous of the car because you simply can't get it. Smh.
@ And are you sure that they have very "poor" sells because as of 2018 they still have more sells than Lincoln and still remain to sell their cars stably. Soooooo 🤷♂️
@@mxxii8937Good joke there buddy, GM has been complete dogshit since the early 2000s they've gone downhill and even has had to gown down on their knees and beg for help from the Government. FYI, China has the most GM factories since GM is now moving them over there cause of their plummeted sales, which results in not being able to afford minimum wage workers and rather shrink it down to pay low unlivable wages overseas to survive.
So glad I got my CTS -V last year , don’t care much for the new stuff! Great informative review video though SB ......you always make it interesting to watch. Keep up the great work . ! Thanks
The fake rear c-pillar window should have every designer at Cadillac fired. How does that get approved for production, worse than the CUE disaster. Not only is it ugly, it's a fake window? WTF Cadillac?
jonswiftucf WORD, i don’t know WTF they was thinking, i mean the front looks great, but the rear? It looks like a cheap Nissan now, i just still don’t know how tf they approved this ugly looking c pillar
That BMW Guy if a C-pillar’s looks is all it takes to stop you from buying a vehicle you weren’t seriously considering purchasing that vehicle in the first place. Lol
That BMW Guy Honda only wishes their sedans looked as sexy and as good as this Cadillac. This CT5 is gorgeous. Period. None of the pillars will change that. The C-pillar had to grow on me but it also looks really nice and I now couldn’t picture the CT5 without it. This definitely looks more sporty and sleek than the 5 series I can tell you that much! And that goes for EVERY pillar.
I like the car, but I am not a fan of those solo tablet pop up infotainment systems....I much rather prefer the dash to be built around the infotainment system.....
Ronald McFondle Hey Ronald, it’s a _Cadillac_ logo engraved veneer which most likely cost more money than a small, thin piece of glass and looks better than lazily adding another window to the side of the vehicle. You think anything that isn’t metal or glass is plastic. You wouldn’t know anything about build materials or the cost of them, would you? You’re just a UA-cam troll who has nothing better to do with his/her life but to be a negative Nancy on the internet and hate on vehicles that you can’t afford.
i'm so tired of the nancies complaining about Cadillac using Chevy switches. Lincoln uses Ford switches all the time so how is that any damn different?
This car is nothing but a design reaction to Cadillac's critics. I'm a Cadillac fanboi but you're really testing me Cadillac!!! Listen to your fans not your critics!!!!!
I drove they're XTS and XT5 while they were great driving on the road the shitty infotainment system was a deal breaker for me had bad Bluetooth connection issues. I'm definitely gonna give This chance I'm putting this car on my shopping list
Why are automotive reviewers reporting that the CT5 is replacing both the ATS and CTS? Cadillac has already stated that the CT4 (i.e., replacement vehicle for the ATS) will be unveiled this year, which has been further substantiated by photographs of camouflaged test mules.
True, all the Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, etc all look like the same car. You can not tell what make or model they are until you get close enough to read the label on the car. Dodge is the only brand on can recognize anywhere from any distance. They look like no other. And they look damn good at it.
The ats and ats V had the best body design by far. Being an owner of one I got a lot of compliments and the ats was for sure a head turner, I had a lot of cars try to race me on the road. I don’t know what the hell cadillac is doing because they seem to be having an identity crisis and I’m not feeling the design on this one too much.
Reviewer said it was the a replacement for CTS and ATS. I thought CT5 was to replace CTS. CT4 is to be replace ATS. I just want to know when and what is going on with CT4 model? I have got a ATS with 170k miles that is screaming for a replacement.
As the owner of a 2017 XT5, I find it amazing that Cadillac chooses to introduce the tech on the CT6 and now the CT5 while the 2020 XT5 doesn't look much different or have any of these tech upgrades you have shown on this vehicle. I actually thought about trading in my 2017 until I saw that the only difference between mine and the 2020 was a bumper and STILL no hybrid option....from what I have been able to gather from various sources.
The previous president of Cadillac Johan De Nysschen started it. They are trying to steer Cadillac to the likes of the German Brand which is the not the right thing to do.
Because Cadillac is changing their naming system again now all trucks/ crossovers are XTs and all the vehicles CTs.... Not a terrible naming system names aren't as popular as the letter-number system is. Just ask Audi, BMW, Lexus, Genesis, Infiniti, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Volvo....
The rear profile gives me Nissan Versa vibes lol. I like the overall masculine exterior but the interior is still miles away from being as exclusive as Lincoln's.
Brian Galiney I don’t really see why it’s the joke, their new interiors especially the black labels are really nice, and Cadillac needs to update their Escalade, their best selling vehicle, not their cars
Dislike the Infiniti side glass kink in the roofline. Not sold on the taillights either. And they better offer a higher output option if they want them to be considered by anyone other than oblivious buyers who can find a better product with the G80 Genesis.
That rear DLO fail is absolutely criminal. It makes the car look like a Chevy Cruze from the side. You should've made that actual glass, Cadillac. Audi does it. It's really not that hard.
I saw a blue prototype driving in Chicago is like much better in person. It's low and wide almost like a Cadillac 4 Dr coupe. And the dlo in person looks better nothing like an accord or versa
StickyKarmel Exactly you cant compare CADILLAC with a Nissan , or Honda those are Japanese piece of shit , they make nothing but cheap cars , you can tell just by looking at the rear view mirrors how cheap shit those cars are , cheap rear view mirrors , can’t even be auto dimming , manual seats , infotainment systems sucks . Cheap shit
Lincoln is eliminating their sedans for SUV'S, while Cadillac is improving their sedans and making new SUV's. Ford/Lincoln just don"t get it and they never will, everyone does not want a SUV, I work for Ford, but I will be looking at Caddy.
john kelly So you’re going to tell me that the new Lincoln Navigator, Aviator, and Corsair that are blowing away anything that Cadillac can offer are Ford/Lincoln’s way of saying they don’t get it?! How the hell do you get that?! We live in a market where sedans are a dying breed and more people want crossovers. Lincoln saw that their sedans weren’t selling that great, so they decided to put there effort where they market is at. That was probably the smartest move Lincoln gollum’s have made, especially since there where struggling for a bit. Cadillac over the recent years are becoming more and more of rebadged Chevys, especially with GM using much more shared parts than ever before. Lincoln learned from their mistakes, while current Cadillac is just “not getting it”.
Xenon Kyre Cadillac over the years are becoming more and more of a rebadged Chevrolet?? You are as delusional as they come. The closest thing Cadillac had to a rebadged Chevy was the Cadillac XTS which had nothing in common with the Impala except for minimal switchgear and the fact they’re both FWD drivetrains. The interior of the XTS Platinum, build materials, fit and finish looked nor felt anything like the Impala. He’s right, Lincoln doesn’t get it. They thought throwing in the towel and giving up on their rebadged Ford sedans was the way to go instead of just improving them, like Cadillac. The Lincoln Continental is nice for a Lincoln, but a complete joke compared to the Cadillac CT6. Ford thought suicide doors was the touch it needed to take it to the next level. 🤦🏽♂️ They’ve figured out the hard way that it just wasn’t good enough and now it’s been canceled altogether. That was a rebadged Ford. Please explain to me how anything from Lincoln currently is blowing Cadillac away? Their interiors are nice, well the front rows of them. But that’s about it. They thought putting the Aviator on the Explorer’s new RWD platform and throwing 600 lb ft of torque inside it is what it needs to compete in the segment with Lexus RX-L and Cadillac XT6? They should’ve put that motor in the continental and made *it* RWD, maybe someone would’ve taken them seriously. Nobody is taking their three-row luxury family crossover to the track. That’s not what families want. The Navigator still can’t outsell the 6 year old Escalade. The corsair is cute but bland and Cadillac XT4 is besting it. The Nautilus is getting it’s ass handed to it by the XT5. There isn’t a segment where Lincoln is better than Cadillac. Sorry.
I own a Cadillac ATS4 luxury sport 2016 and I love the touch button on it. Probably old people complained about it. I’m in love with my ats. Actually sad there not keeping the touch buttons. I won’t buy one until they do it again
Looks really good not sure why they had a lower-level interior trim model that you could go inside and then the high-end trim you could not, kinda weird.
Hey look it's a fancy Nissan Altima. It's a shame because newer Caddys do drive very well. They're quiet and have a good ride/handling combo. They just need to revamp that CUE system and go back to looking like good old American cars.
I don't see that. The newer design is actually carried over from earlier GM products (from 2015 and around). It looks like that recently (but definitely after GM and probably Ford) did a lot of Japanese and German auto makers started to adopt the more aggressive and muscular looks, including Nissan Altima.
To all the people wanting to give their opinions on styling cues, just remember where Cadillac came from. You are here with your steel top roof because of the 1935 Chevy Suburban, you have 4 wheel disc brakes because of Buick, you have a starter the car because of Cadillac. All this and you can look up the 1911 Full size Chevy with Push button start in the floor. 1 Year before the Titanic sank! Guess what else, if you all haven't ever driven an ATS or CTS with Magnetic ride, you haven't driven a real car. Oh btw, they actually lend that technology to Maserati and Ferrari. If you aren't someone who can afford to buy or lease new, keep your fleeting thoughts with zero power to yourself, and start believing in the future. The ability to overcome and dream big, and to feel amazing while you're out in something nobody else has.
The silver one CT5sport, looks very good - especially with the convervative ground effect on the front and sides.... I LIKE IT....OH, and they better fix that REAR HEADREST.... GEEEZZZZZ - -
Beautifully designed for sure.But for the prices these will fetch those HP numbers need a bump.The turbo 4 should be at atleast 270hp to 300 and that v6 should be at 400 -410...that grey sport is beautiful.
I actually really love these recent Cadillacs coming out. And I'm hoping the fact that that Sport model doesn't have a sunroof means it's a standalone option. If it is actually possible to get a decent one without a sunroof and it has a good bit of headroom, I may just have found my next sedan.
That's cool I was never a fan of the CTS but I'm definitely a fan of the ct5 you could definitely see the cuts in the rear and it definitely shows a difference
I like the front, but the rear half of the cart doesn't quite fit with the front half of the car? it just doesn't look "Caddy" enough the front is OK tho
Waiting on the 2020 Escalade before I buy the navigator so I'm guessing this design is going to be it just in a larger footprint, not bad looking though...
Like I say in many comments. Lincoln has birth soooo many new luxury sedans. I really hope Lincoln comes out soon with dope models. Also look at at a mkz then look at the g90. Genesis made a car that could had been he mkz new model. Lincoln has consistently given us good practical luxury cars
I think the car looks great and fills a necessary gap in the Caddy lineup to square off against the competitors. The naysayers, I guarantee, haven't actually driven or sat in a Cadillac in the last few years. It seems like BMW or Benz can put a 3-series/C-series that's $15k more expensive and everybody drools... yet Caddy just can't win and everything is a complaint. But, again, this is not usually from owners of Caddys. My issue with Cadillac is that they are terrible about marketing their products and figuring out a consistent marketing strategy (like, why does almost nobody know about Super Cruise?) But, again, this is marketing and not a problem with the actual cars... which are stellar. Standard of the World is coming back. :)
@@michiganmanmurphy8710 They were amazing cars, I agree. BUT, they'd be around for a while and were in need of some refreshing. I think the Ct4 and Ct5 will do a better job of competing directly with the competition, rather than being "tweeners."
I think the design is eye catching and nicely done. Keep away from the Chevy look, hope Cadillac keeps separation. I don’t think the torque badging is necessary, I would debadge it anyway.
C-Wow but...all you had to do was watch the Aviator video. or the Navigator’s video. or the Nautilus’s video...lol either of them really, since it’s the same exact interior that they lazily “copy” & “paste” into EVERY new Lincoln that rolls out. In fact, they all have the same exact interiors *and* exteriors. This interior definitely looks more modern and will be more user friendly.
I really love this car the only real disappointment I have is the lack of not out doing the power 3.0tt in the ct6. Much less 69 LESS hp. The car it's replacing the cts has always been the most performance focused vehicle for cadillac. The closest one to the cts v in it's time was the xlr v. But that's another story. Also the panaray system should've been an option (there's still a chance I hope) but, from what I heard so far the ct5 v will be a major let down. Lets look at the 1st gen cts v even having 2 engines in it's life span they both made 400hp-395lb-ft of torque. The 2nd gen got up to 556hp-551lb-ft of torque. That's 156 more hp and, 146 more lb-ft of torque. The 3rd gen 640hp-630lb-ft of torque. That's 84 more hp and, 79 more lb-ft of torque than the 2nd gen. Now the ct5 v is rumored to get the same engine as the ct6 v with 550hp which is 6 less than the 2nd gen and, 627 lb-ft of torque which is 3 less than the 3rd gen. And, it this point anything less than 50hp and, 50lb-ft of torque more than the 3rd gen is a step backwards. And, who's to say they won't bottle neck the black wing in the ct5 v like they did the 3.0tt ct5. Also 1 of my favorite parts of the cts/ct5 is the vertical front light bars and, I heard the ct5 v won't have it. Edit: the 3rd gen cts v is my all time favorite car. But if the ct5 would get a hp boost, panaray and, the steerable rear wheel tires it would be a close 2nd. Maybe even get the 3.6tt from the ats v (not as a v version) but, I think I'd just look at the ct5 v in sheer disappointment if anything I heard is true. (I do think the black wing would make a great v sport for the ct5 tho.
Muy interesante este Cadillac. Es lo que pasa cuando quieres hacer las cosas lo mejor posible. Estos diseños y mejor calidad son lo que hace volver a interesar a la gente.
Great video. Cadillac is come along way in there luxury line competing with the German and British markets I am very pleased. Also another word video..
Ryan's Motorsports SAME!!!! CUE is not even hard to use. My grandma knows how to work CUE in her ATS and has no problem with it oh and this even gets better she still has a flip phone and KNOWS HOW TO USE CUE!!! So who ever says CUE is a hard system to use clearly is an idiot!
Two thumbs up the buttons and physical controls are coming back to the controls. Touch pad controls, where you need to look down in the cabin for a long period to use anything is insanely stupid.
incipidsigninsetup the tech offered with Cadillac you won’t find in a Hyundai. Also that’s a Hyundai, and this is a Cadillac. Different levels of prestige.
@@mybro727 Absolutely nothing prestigious about driving a Cadillac.... When people are rich they aspire to buy a Mercedes, BMW or Porsche.... Except the Escalade nobody gives a hoot about Cadillac... I'd take the Genesis G80 or even the Kia stringer to this without even blinking

That was probably the smartest move Lincoln gollum’s have made, especially since there where struggling for a bit. Cadillac over the recent years are becoming more and more of rebadged Chevys, especially with GM using much more shared parts than ever before. Lincoln learned from their mistakes, while current Cadillac is just “not getting it”.
Xenon Kyre Cadillac over the years are becoming more and more of a rebadged Chevrolet?? You are as delusional as they come. The closest thing Cadillac had to a rebadged Chevy was the Cadillac XTS which had nothing in common with the Impala except for minimal switchgear and the fact they’re both FWD drivetrains. The interior of the XTS Platinum, build materials, fit and finish looked nor felt anything like the Impala.
He’s right, Lincoln doesn’t get it. They thought throwing in the towel and giving up on their rebadged Ford sedans was the way to go instead of just improving them, like Cadillac. The Lincoln Continental is nice for a Lincoln, but a complete joke compared to the Cadillac CT6. Ford thought suicide doors was the touch it needed to take it to the next level. 🤦🏽♂️ They’ve figured out the hard way that it just wasn’t good enough and now it’s been canceled altogether. That was a rebadged Ford.
Please explain to me how anything from Lincoln currently is blowing Cadillac away? Their interiors are nice, well the front rows of them. But that’s about it.
They thought putting the Aviator on the Explorer’s new RWD platform and throwing 600 lb ft of torque inside it is what it needs to compete in the segment with Lexus RX-L and Cadillac XT6? They should’ve put that motor in the continental and made *it* RWD, maybe someone would’ve taken them seriously. Nobody is taking their three-row luxury family crossover to the track. That’s not what families want. The Navigator still can’t outsell the 6 year old Escalade. The corsair is cute but bland and Cadillac XT4 is besting it. The Nautilus is getting it’s ass handed to it by the XT5. There isn’t a segment where Lincoln is better than Cadillac. Sorry.
Sofyan, any plans to have a review on the CT5-V as now it’s available?
I own a Cadillac ATS4 luxury sport 2016 and I love the touch button on it. Probably old people complained about it. I’m in love with my ats. Actually sad there not keeping the touch buttons. I won’t buy one until they do it again
E-eeww... A true Cadillac fan, I've been super stoked on how the brand has been developing over the last few years. This car bums me out.
Why is the gas cap on the wrong side of the car?
Are you planning to test drive it soon?
Looks really good not sure why they had a lower-level interior trim model that you could go inside and then the high-end trim you could not, kinda weird.
I think it looks good. I love the new front grille. Looks aggressive
So the CT6 is being discontinued,so do that mean the CT5 is now Cadillacs Flagship sedan now?
Hey look it's a fancy Nissan Altima. It's a shame because newer Caddys do drive very well. They're quiet and have a good ride/handling combo. They just need to revamp that CUE system and go back to looking like good old American cars.
Dashcam Dumbasses exactly
I don't see that. The newer design is actually carried over from earlier GM products (from 2015 and around). It looks like that recently (but definitely after GM and probably Ford) did a lot of Japanese and German auto makers started to adopt the more aggressive and muscular looks, including Nissan Altima.
Everything blacked out except rims? Why?
To all the people wanting to give their opinions on styling cues, just remember where Cadillac came from.
You are here with your steel top roof because of the 1935 Chevy Suburban, you have 4 wheel disc brakes because of Buick, you have a starter the car because of Cadillac.
All this and you can look up the 1911 Full size Chevy with Push button start in the floor. 1 Year before the Titanic sank!
Guess what else, if you all haven't ever driven an ATS or CTS with Magnetic ride, you haven't driven a real car.
Oh btw, they actually lend that technology to Maserati and Ferrari. If you aren't someone who can afford to buy or lease new, keep your fleeting thoughts with zero power to yourself, and start believing in the future. The ability to overcome and dream big, and to feel amazing while you're out in something nobody else has.
Will the CT5 have the Corvette engine?
What a stunning car, I love the design!
Cadillac: "I know. Let's replace two outstanding, beautiful cars with one butt ugly one with a small trunk"
The silver one CT5sport, looks very good - especially with the convervative ground effect on the front and sides.... I LIKE IT....OH, and they better fix that REAR HEADREST.... GEEEZZZZZ - -
He 5’7 and doesn’t have no damn space in the backseat... There isn’t no way I would pick this car over a 5 series and I work for GM...
Beautifully designed for sure.But for the prices these will fetch those HP numbers need a bump.The turbo 4 should be at atleast 270hp to 300 and that v6 should be at 400 -410...that grey sport is beautiful.
10 speed trans? Is that a hi and low for each gear like a dump truck?
Do you have a new Escalade video coming up? When I had my 2018 Escalade in for an oil change, they said the new Escalade looks completely different.
2021 model year
Sean Monahan oh ok thanks. Whenever I search for the new model, the thumbnail shows a new model but the videos never do. 😏
Great reviewing keep the good work
SB is it a fastback?
Cant wait to see the V version of this car now that it has the updated infotainment.
I actually really love these recent Cadillacs coming out. And I'm hoping the fact that that Sport model doesn't have a sunroof means it's a standalone option. If it is actually possible to get a decent one without a sunroof and it has a good bit of headroom, I may just have found my next sedan.
That's cool I was never a fan of the CTS but I'm definitely a fan of the ct5 you could definitely see the cuts in the rear and it definitely shows a difference
I like the front, but the rear half of the cart doesn't quite fit with the front half of the car? it just doesn't look "Caddy" enough the front is OK tho
Waiting on the 2020 Escalade before I buy the navigator so I'm guessing this design is going to be it just in a larger footprint, not bad looking though...
Like I say in many comments. Lincoln has birth soooo many new luxury sedans. I really hope Lincoln comes out soon with dope models. Also look at at a mkz then look at the g90. Genesis made a car that could had been he mkz new model. Lincoln has consistently given us good practical luxury cars
They are doing good SUVs ,can't deny that , but Cadillac has way more experience in performance sedans , not a fanboy just saying
Any updates on any additional production of the CT6-V?
I think the car looks great and fills a necessary gap in the Caddy lineup to square off against the competitors. The naysayers, I guarantee, haven't actually driven or sat in a Cadillac in the last few years. It seems like BMW or Benz can put a 3-series/C-series that's $15k more expensive and everybody drools... yet Caddy just can't win and everything is a complaint. But, again, this is not usually from owners of Caddys. My issue with Cadillac is that they are terrible about marketing their products and figuring out a consistent marketing strategy (like, why does almost nobody know about Super Cruise?) But, again, this is marketing and not a problem with the actual cars... which are stellar. Standard of the World is coming back. :)
They should've kept the CTS and the ATS and just updated them,those were Amazing cars.
@@michiganmanmurphy8710 They were amazing cars, I agree. BUT, they'd be around for a while and were in need of some refreshing. I think the Ct4 and Ct5 will do a better job of competing directly with the competition, rather than being "tweeners."
Well done CADILLAC! Well done...
1:45 whats that white suv in the background with the trunk open?
PRIS maserati
@@saidsalazar2198 Thank you Sir
Was it so hard for cadillac to make a smaller version of the beautiful CT6 instead of this liftback or whatever it is nonsense?
I think the design is eye catching and nicely done. Keep away from the Chevy look, hope Cadillac keeps separation. I don’t think the torque badging is necessary, I would debadge it anyway.
Is this not based off the Regal platform?
So I just watched the corsair video looking at that interior then came to this interior.......ya i'll go back to the corsair video
C-Wow but...all you had to do was watch the Aviator video. or the Navigator’s video. or the Nautilus’s video...lol either of them really, since it’s the same exact interior that they lazily “copy” & “paste” into EVERY new Lincoln that rolls out. In fact, they all have the same exact interiors *and* exteriors. This interior definitely looks more modern and will be more user friendly.
This is a gorgeous car
I really love this car the only real disappointment I have is the lack of not out doing the power 3.0tt in the ct6. Much less 69 LESS hp. The car it's replacing the cts has always been the most performance focused vehicle for cadillac. The closest one to the cts v in it's time was the xlr v. But that's another story. Also the panaray system should've been an option (there's still a chance I hope) but, from what I heard so far the ct5 v will be a major let down. Lets look at the 1st gen cts v even having 2 engines in it's life span they both made 400hp-395lb-ft of torque. The 2nd gen got up to 556hp-551lb-ft of torque. That's 156 more hp and, 146 more lb-ft of torque. The 3rd gen 640hp-630lb-ft of torque. That's 84 more hp and, 79 more lb-ft of torque than the 2nd gen. Now the ct5 v is rumored to get the same engine as the ct6 v with 550hp which is 6 less than the 2nd gen and, 627 lb-ft of torque which is 3 less than the 3rd gen. And, it this point anything less than 50hp and, 50lb-ft of torque more than the 3rd gen is a step backwards. And, who's to say they won't bottle neck the black wing in the ct5 v like they did the 3.0tt ct5. Also 1 of my favorite parts of the cts/ct5 is the vertical front light bars and, I heard the ct5 v won't have it. Edit: the 3rd gen cts v is my all time favorite car. But if the ct5 would get a hp boost, panaray and, the steerable rear wheel tires it would be a close 2nd. Maybe even get the 3.6tt from the ats v (not as a v version) but, I think I'd just look at the ct5 v in sheer disappointment if anything I heard is true. (I do think the black wing would make a great v sport for the ct5 tho.
CT5 V is gonna be crazy
Let's pray it comes
Muy interesante este Cadillac. Es lo que pasa cuando quieres hacer las cosas lo mejor posible.
Estos diseños y mejor calidad son lo que hace volver a interesar a la gente.
will the ct5 offer a supercharged lt4 v8
I can't wait to see all these new cars at the Houston Auto Show Next year there's alot of nice cars coming out for next year
1:56-2:45 Guy in the green shirt thinking: *I'm too sexy for this life*
Isn’t there a CT4 that’s replacing the ATS?
What is this they not going the crossover way ?
Great video. Cadillac is come along way in there luxury line competing with the German and British markets I am very pleased. Also another word video..
Miss the CUE not gonna lie and my secret compartment...
Ryan's Motorsports SAME!!!! CUE is not even hard to use. My grandma knows how to work CUE in her ATS and has no problem with it oh and this even gets better she still has a flip phone and KNOWS HOW TO USE CUE!!! So who ever says CUE is a hard system to use clearly is an idiot!
That gray/silver color is pretty cool
"Lets throw a Subaru Legacy and Honda Accord in a blender with some of our accessories and see what we come up with, aye?"
Two thumbs up the buttons and physical controls are coming back to the controls. Touch pad controls, where you need to look down in the cabin for a long period to use anything is insanely stupid.
I hope people buy this car. It’s really nice
335hp? Likely with the ridiculously high Cadillac price tag? Why would I buy this over a G80?
incipidsigninsetup the tech offered with Cadillac you won’t find in a Hyundai. Also that’s a Hyundai, and this is a Cadillac. Different levels of prestige.
@@mybro727 Absolutely nothing prestigious about driving a Cadillac.... When people are rich they aspire to buy a Mercedes, BMW or Porsche.... Except the Escalade nobody gives a hoot about Cadillac... I'd take the Genesis G80 or even the Kia stringer to this without even blinking
@@mybro727 Btw the G70 is one hell of a car
Gary Basra You’re seriously comparing Hyundai to Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche and Bentley? Get over what brand stuff? Prestige is a real thing that exists. People pay for level of prestige and brand. That’s not a hang-up mybro727 has with brands, it’s just reality bro.
@@emekaiheanacho6971 Of course because BMW merc etc look good, that's always the go to but we all know them shits are unrealible and break. Atleast American cars last with simple care
Is there going to be a ct5 V Coupe
You know , I really hate this new naming nomenclature Automakers are doing these days (CT5 , X7 , Cx-9 , TLX , etc). 7 years ago it wasn't a big deal but it's gotten *SUPER* out of hand as of to date ! It's getting to the point where every car name sounds similar. 😠
I miss the old names : Fleetwood , Elderado , DeVille , etc. ☹️
