Not a big fan of that front end, just looks off.

 

I agree!!! Doesn't have that "V" bad ass look. I am heart broken that 2019 is the last year for the CTS-V. We had a 2012 and just recently bought a 2019

 

It needs a lower front clip so that it doesn't look like it's a 4x4. The ass end needs a rework as well.


Actually, to hell with it, not a fan of any angle TBH.

 

Ugly, all of it. Front end proportions are weird and the honda pilot tail lights are terrible.

 

Needs spoilers and wheels. It just doesn't look right.

Yeah clearly this thing isn't track-focused. It's just a fast luxury boat, which is fine. Kinda seems like it should have remained a V-sport, though. Hopefully the CT5-V will be a proper successor.

 

Yeah, this isn't meant to be like the CTS-V, nor the M5/RS6. Its meant to compete with the AMG S class and Audi S8. A fast luxury car. I think the CT4/CT5-V will be more in line with the audience on this board.

 

If the motor responds the same way the LF4 did with a tune and a couple boltons this thing could be a monster. If a I recall 600whp

I think people were seeing closer to 570 on average with intakes, downpipes, fuel cam upgrade, and tune, but yeah 600 was hit by a few with some tricks. A TT v8 should be able to pump out 650+ no problem if they didn't put tiny snails on it.

 

any word on 0-60 with it being awd?

 

3.8 is 0-60

 

I like it. I could see myself leasing one at a quasi-reasonable price as a daily driver. My current daily driver lease ends in 19 months, so we’ll see whether this car is still on my radar then.

 

the part that is important is this "The sandcast aluminum block is a clean-sheet design, according to Cadillac, and it is fitted with a 10-quart sump, cross-bolted main bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, pistons from Mahle, and 5000-plus-psi direct fuel injection. The compression ratio is 9.8:1. The exhaust manifolds are integrated with the hot side of the turbo housings, which encase titanium turbine wheels spinning at up to 170,000 rpm while pressurizing the intake manifolds with as much as 20.0 psi of boost."

I would love to see just putting the car on E85 and see how much power it picks up!

The want for one is super bad!

also very interesting
"The front axle runs through the oil pan, ensuring the engine is mounted mostly behind the axle line for optimal weight distribution. While Cadillac’s representatives won’t talk about future product, they made it clear to us that there is potential left untapped in the engine to make an even more powerful version."

 

Sounds like its ready to handle some power.

Wouldnt be surprised to see them put this in a CTSV successor with the boost turned up and power increased.

Id imagine some aftermarket tuning and bolt ons could bring this thing up a few hundred hp in a second

 

It's starting to look to much like a Cadillac for my tastes. My V being Unbadged doesn't have a particular brand look & gets the most unusual stares from people trying to figure out what it is. Some just walk away with a shrug of the shoulders not being able to tell what the V is ...

 

I’m sure it’s going to a nice car, the CTS V-Sport I had was a great car. The CT6 is just too big for me. I also have no interest in all the automated driving tech save for blind spot and emergency braking.

Nothing wrong with a big fast boat but I agree the looks are off-putting. I had not seen a GM 4.2 TT yet. Having recently tried out a 3.6L ATS-V, I couldn't deal with the sound of the 6 after coming from my V.

I am most anxious for some time to pass, to see how this current generation of smaller CC turbos fare in the long run. An un-abused LS powertrain is surely as reliable as any of my Honda Accords* or any of the Buick winter beaters I've owned with those indestructible 3.8L motors



* 250K miles + and still DD reliable, while the rest of the actual car is falling apart.

Lol, I saw that last night. I wonder if he'll miss the CLS.

 

Couldn't get all the blood stains out

 

Aunt Sandy was great.

She was willing to share the master. Always sweet and accommodating.

Great show, meet Liev in Manhattan a few years back, he was riding a bike in midtown and said I liked the show he said thanks and away he went. Cool cucumber. Glad he is rocking the Caddy and some of the dialogue is Boston to the core. Need to catch up on the last few seasons.

Let's go to the bah.

i dont hate it and would love AWD

Agreed.

Looks too refined, like a BMW 7 Series Alpina, and is underpowered like one too. Let’s hope the CT5 remains sporty like the V3.

 

Liev was a parent at my son's (public) school, fwiw.

 

No shit? Public--- keeping it real. No one is going to ask what time of bike he rode?

Best scene was the liquor store, I think season three when Ray's wife had a few choice words for someone that was not minding their own business. Southie all the way.

How much did Caddy pay for that promo? any thoughts?

Unavowed --- some people where I live, I can't understand what language they speak. SOme of them really lay it on think and they sound retarded.

 

Some kid went up to him and said ‘my mom says you’re famous’.

Supposedly he replied with ‘my wife is the one that’s really famous’.

His kid was a couple years behind my youngest, so, needless to say, we didn’t run around in the same circles.

I did tell Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) to go back to work during the NBA strike a few years ago.

The Celebs will often send their kids to private schools starting in middle school if they didn’t in elementary school.

Our public high school has a good reputation, at least for an LA City public school.

Ironic talking up its having less horsepower than V3, like it is a good thing.

 

Less HP but big TQ, should be easy to turn up too.

 

I think it's a little off on the looks but the power you could make with that TT V8 more than makes up for it. Is that 55k price tag actually for the V model? Because if so that's a lot of car for the dollar.

 

A current CT6 AWD 3.0L TWIN TURBO In PLATINUM trim is $86k
V versions got be $100k.

Yeah that pricetag would make sense. I wonder if it will have the supercruise? Got to demo that, with the active steering wheel, and it was awesome!
