I really like the front. I'm not big on designs that have the partline between the hood and grille/bumper cover just slice right through on the surface, even though my Z4 is designed that way. The CT4 has the partline between the edge of the hood and grille/bumper cover like the E90 does. I'm not thrilled about the rear of the CT4-V. Maybe the lower trim level will not have such a big wing on the decklid.
I like the interior better than the ATS even though the screen was more integrated in the ATS. Looks like CUE got a knob control switchgear now. I'd rather not have and type of interactive interface, but that's me. I've given up on hoping for a manual transmission in anything going forward. I was going to pull the trigger on one of the few remaining ATS hanging around when I saw the CT5, but seeing the CT4, I think I'll wait.
It sounds like Cadillac is sticking with the driving dynamics of the Alpha chassis, which I was hoping they'd do and not go F30 with it.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
