    Cadillac wasn’t trying to be the most luxurious in the segment with their sedans. Their goal was to offer a better overall packaged ATS and CTS with this new generation, and I think once you realize what their priorities were you’ll understand why they’ve knocked it out of the park. This car is tremendously improved over the outgoing CTS and substantially cheaper than it was too.
    If Cadillac wanted to be ultra luxurious to put the Germans on notice, then they could easily do that too as you can see with the Escalade. Even though, the buttons and switches regardless of their material or how they may look - they don’t feel cheap. The build quality is another area that is leaps and bounds above the outgoing CTS. But your criticism is appreciated Ben, because I’m also ready for Cadillac to go back to being the standard of not just great performance but *luxury!* This and the CT4 are getting a refresh and they should be getting the new switchgear seen in the Cadillac Lyriq.

    GM has been using cheap materials on Cadillac from the parts bin of their lower tier cars for decades. Don't expect them to change anytime soon the bean counters run that corporation and it's the reason why they can't compete on the same level with imports when it comes to the fine details that makes great memorable cars.

    What’s 550 compared to 350?

    • @gesalbte
      @gesalbte Před 11 měsíci

      The turbo inline-4 of the 350 is disappointingly underpowered. The car struggles to catch up with traffic on freeways, and struggles to pass another car with that little power. Do the research. Read the forums. You will realize why sophisticated buyers all opt for the V6TT instead.

    I agree with Ben 100% when he reference the interior especially for the MSRP price your paying, I was looking at a Jaguar XJ type supercharger and the interior was a 2019 and the interior was much elegant and nice CADILLAC needs to invest in upgrade thier interior, I feel the same with the Dodge Hellcat the interior upgrades are very little just a better engine, and different body style.

    Why was this car so filthy for the spotlight? Couldn't they have provided a detailed one for the shoot? I find it interesting how you mentioned how "big" the car is twice. Did you realize a KIA Stinger is considered a "compact", but in fact is longer than this car?
    Last thing, here's how Automatic Climate Control is designed to work: Hit "Auto" selector button & set your desired temp. Done. The car does the rest. I Noted both controls set to full "LO" & then you manually lowered the fan speed. This is not the way it's designed to operate. Why do people take something easy & make it a difficulty?

In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff
