Love it. 472hp from a TT V6, and a manual. 2 new cars to add to the "Cars you can still buy with a manual" list.

I think the CT5-V Blackwing looks better...but commands a much higher premium of course. It is interesting - I really like that they kept the manual.

haha, true. I had a used one. It was a fun car to drive until it sadly started falling apart at the 25k miles mark. Having to go to GM for service and repairs was the worst part. Had to quickly get rid of it.

0-60 in 3.8s has my attention. How is Caddy’s reliability these days?

wanted to like it. i love my manuals too and have a gt3 and f80 both 6 speed. but this thing looks awful. interior looks nice though. weight seems to be ok at 4100, although i'd expect lighter since the M5 has awd+dct and comes in at 4300.

I work at a Cadillac dealer and the two Blackwings are the most anticipated vehicles to come....Cadillac has come along way.
The new lineup is def not your grandmas Caddy as someone put it and the technology and reliability are not the GM of the 90's Very exciting times for our dealer right now....(But ill always stay true to my BMW roots) |

Those vertical LED strips are fugly, maybe they'll look better in real life.
Other than that it's a nice price w/ solid specs. Going to have to drive it to really see what it's like. Undercuts m3/4 by $20k, M5 by $35kish. I predict this will be like the SS. Prob sell for 15-20% off and it'll hold its value at that price point. I do like manual option, Caddy doing their part to save the manuals. |

Are you saying that GM will sell 5000 blackwings per year? At least the preorder is limited to 250 per car. Also, not to ignore, BMW/Merc/Audi sell worldwide.

Its about as light as you're going to get for a 670hp sedan. Don't know of anything close except for the last CTS-V.

No, I'm saying all of the cars are limited sales here. Anything under 5,000 units is tiny. I expect this car to sell about as well as the last CTS-V.

The normal CT5-V is the CTS Vsport from the last generation. They aren't being cross shopped. If you're walking in for a CT5-V Blackwing you know what you're looking for and its not the CT5-V. Do you think people looking for M5's and RS7's are buying S7's and M550's? No.

My issue with the car is the interior looks dull and cheap. Otherwise it seems like a winner
