Can we just appreciate the fact that SOMEONE made a 670 HP, rear wheel drive, manual transmission sports sedan?
We still God manual looking down on us 👌🏽
Dodge did it first, and for cheaper...has everyone forgotten about the Hellcat & Demon?
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 That's not a sedan.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 yeah cheap for someone who wants a plastic interior.
Supercharged too…not too many carmakers supercharge their engines these days
It's almost October, we must be coming up on two shirt season for Doug soon.
😂😂
That will happen in Dougcember.
@@TheCarKrazeOfficial I see you alot lol
@@snakeeyes9246 that's what I was gonna comment
@@Jens_Roadster lol hi then 👋
Kind of ironic that Cadillac, a company which for decades only offered automatic wheeled water-beds, should be the last bastion of the manual super-saloon.
True. Neat though. They're still boats, just keeping up with the times
They realized they’re Americans and not communists
@@foggyj4474 what? How is a classic 50s-60s-70s Cadillac a "communist" car?
@@foggyj4474 Whats the difference these days?
...it's ok it doesn't matter now. You're in THE BLACKWING! 12:01
I’m not a GM guy, but this is perfect. Literally everything I want in a sedan 😍
I went to the darkside, just bought a Camaro....become one of us.
I'm not a "insert company here" guy
Imo every make and model can be respected in their own way but you do you
Same. I'm a Ford fan but GM really knocked it outta the park with the Blackwing. I'd take it over a Mercedes or BMW at this price point... especially with that manual option.
As a Mopar owner, I'd get this if I had the money.
Same.. I want it so bad 🤣
Doug:- The Lexus IS500 is the last old school sports sedan
Also Doug:- The Cadillac CT-5 V BlackWing is the last old school sports sedan
Doug in 60 years: Thiiiis 2011 Lincoln Town Car is the last old school V8 sedan that is still driving on the road.
I immediately thought the same 😂
it's worth noting the lexus is naturally aspirated
Last OF the old school sports sedans
@@verysadplayboy it's worth noting the Lexus doesn't make 670hp.
My point being take the supercharger off and it'll still be more power
Never in my life thought I'd say...Cadillac you deserve my respect for being the last brand to offer a proper sports sedan with manual transmission!
Last brand? Huh?
Alfa Romeo:?
Oh yeah, I think Giulia QF are still being offered in manual right? In the UK and Ireland they're only offered with auto...
They are fantastic to be honest.
Uhhhh bmw m3 has the same thing
The side mirrors may be small but it’s so cool that they are in the shape of a Cadillac badge. A quirk I’m surprised Doug missed.
plus with the side view cameras and blind spot warning system do you even need mirrors anymore? I bet when you turn on your left turn signal a screen pops up in the gauge cluster showing you what's over there. I forget which car doug reviewed that had that, Hyundai? Kia? one of them.....
@@muskokamike127 it was a Hyundai palisade that had the turn single cameras
@@charanjitkaurbhatti9552 thanks, I KNEW someone would remember haha....my memory ain't what it used to be.
What were we talking about again? 😃
I drove my friends car that had no mirrors from the 150 times being pulled over only twice cops noticed it and once gave warning and once almost towed it until cop realized I'm a cool guy and gave me warning after talking a bit
We did fill the void space with a painted plastic and it was a modded car with lots of things to look at to not c missing mirrors
I was a validation engineer for this vehicle, super thrilled to see Doug review it!
Do you know Steve Stinson?
@@abhishekrao1525 now this is the o my thing I NEED to know 😂
you done good, son.
Doug a demon in these V8’s I swear 😆 he’s like ‘Get a lowkey colour for the highway’ then when he starts pulling in it the smile fades right away and you can see him check the rear view then just pushing the car further and further mid-sentence and loving every second of it
And to the fine men and women of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, this video was done in front of a green screen while the car was standing still. My friend Filippo provided fake engine noises from the back seat.
@@DougDeMuro ahaha comical love ya doug
@@DougDeMuro that's pretty racist doug
@@DougDeMuro Liar, liar, pants on fire! LOL
@@DougDeMuro Thanks D., now my mind is put at ease. Don't want your wife, and any newly arrived "bundls of joy" to have to come down to the station to retreave Pappa Doug from the constabulary!
Props to Cadillac for still offering a manual transmission and making it standard.
+Resting Fish Face
As a German i still don't understand why so many Cars apparently are only offered as Automatik in the USA, while they are still made with Manual over here. Newest 2021 M4 is common to get as Manual here in Germany, same true for the other Models, the only German Company who stops offering Manual starting in 2022 for any Model no matter what is Mercedes-Benz. The other still offer them and will for the upcoming Years.
This makes me think the USA just doesn't get Manual Versions, here in Germany they're still common in newly produced Cars, whether it's a Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Porsche etc.
In Germany learning to drive with a Manual Stick Shift is still mandatory (you have to learn manual) and at Driving Schools you can choose to learn Automatic, but only as an Addition to learning Manual.
So this might be the Reason Manuals are more common and still produced for the German Market
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Because it manual nobody going to buy it.
@@chartreux1532 Stimmt doch garnicht. Es gibt kaum einen BMW mehr als Schalter ausser die Basisversionen vom 1er-3er mit Dreizylinder. Kein einziger 5er als Schalter oder 3er oder 4er als 4 oder 6 Zylinder (ohne m), z4 gibts auch nicht als schalter. Und beim 911 nur noch GT3 und S Version. Basis und Turbo nur Automatik.
@@honestyisthegucci
Also hier in Bayern ist das neuste M4 (2021) Modell bei BMW München fast nur als Schalter verfügbar
@@chartreux1532 ja hast du mir nicht zugehört? Es gibt nur den M4 als schalter. Sonst fast nichts. Kein 330 Schalter. Oder 340. Oder M2 schalter. Oder 520 Schalter. Keine Durchschnittsalltagsautos mehr
Can we all just take a sec to appreciate the fact Doug makes a living off of reviewing other peoples cars and have unlimited content
It’s crazy
@@yungboicontigo9278 thats only a handful of cars… and how is that different than a regular persons car?
No you go ahead
No. No we can’t
You mean videos
Doug, your presentation / public speaking skills are quite commendable. Also great shooting/editing, and great scoring! You're the man! And congrats with your new car selling website too! Best wishes, continued success!
Doug doesn't just talk with his hands. He talks with his whole body.
The tics/arm flailing,/body movements/facial expressions, even his speech cadence though....Hope he is well and it is just too much Red Bull and not something neurological :-(
@@jamesvelvet3612 LMAO
@@jamesvelvet3612 so what if it is?
@@jamesvelvet3612 It's like a rollercoaster of emotional excitement and exaggeration. It's stressful to listen to.
We all do? Facial expressions hand movement and stances are all huge parts of communication.
Doug: "V shift light"
Me: "This thing reaches 54mph in first gear 😲"
My Mercedes 560sel hits 50 in 1st, 80 in 2nd, 125 in 3rd! Gotta love bug torque cars!
0-60 takes a hit with the gear shift lol
Doug's gt will do 62 in first, so 54 is plebian to him lol
After hitting 82 in 1st in my cbr, it's always fun to see what's Cara can do.
The corvette reaches over 60mph in first gear I'm pretty sure
I love how effortlessly you portray your knowledge and passion for cars in all of these reviews. You also love what you're doing, it shows!
clout chase
Last time I checked he speaks with his mouth
sarcastic?
From what I've heard he isn't a "real" car guy. He doesn't know very much about cars (allegedly). His scoring seems to point in that direction, that's for sure.
@@nicklasveva doug isnt a car guy? What are you smoking?
I gotta give it up for GM for creating this car. Manuals I wish werent dying since they are so fun to drive, but pairing this with a massive supercharged V8 is just awesome. I'm not a fan of this color so I'd change that and likely the wheels on it but dig everything else. Great review Doug!
I take this Blue over the usual black gray & silver every car companies use
You can tell this Caddie is fast cause Doug's eyes are frantically scanning for cops.
hahaha
Not as fast as the "cream my drawers" look Doug had in the Tesla Model S Plaid!
I wonder if it's possible for Doug to describe a wing without saying, "it's huge, absolutely massive."
Especially when that wing isn't THAT big...
That's what yo mama said last night.
Yeah if its small
@@MrJMS814 the one on this car isn't even a wing. It's a lip spoiler and not that big of one.
The ones that aren't massive don't get described at all.
Doug I am so happy you make these videos. When ever im bored, I just come back to one of your videos knowing I wont be let down!
I'm old school. I absolutely love manual transmission. I will without a doubt own this car. After 30 in Germany driving BMW series I never thought I'd ever see another v8 sedan with a stick. THANK YOU CADILLAC 😊 💓
Police officer: *pulls Doug over then walks up to him*

Hopefully Steve Stinson sees this and be excited to see his creation on a Doug DeMuro video. Should also be the most popular guy at the engine plant tomorrow.
20:14 Steve Stinson, are you out there lol? I know he has built about nine LT4 engines at the plant for the CT5V Blackwing.
Wonderful and honest review, Doug. God bless Cadillac (and GM) for building this car, truly. The end of so much. Wild stuff, man. It honestly is depressing, but I am so glad it-and others (Lexus IS500, et al.)-exist, as we pass onto......?
YOU LITERALLY SOLD ME ON THIS CAR - BEING THE LAST OF ITS KIND IS SAD BUT ONCE YOURE IN IT, BYE BYE SADNESS :)
THANK YOU DOUG AND CONGRATS ON THE NEWBORN!
This car, because of the manual, has taken over the place in my heart previously held by the Dodge Charger Hellcats. I know they’re kind of in different worlds, but when it comes to a rear-wheel drive, four door sedan with a screaming v8, this now takes the top spot in my heart.
It would definitely be more insane to drive this car because of the manual 😮💨😮💨
The car honestly has a lot of heart, the hellcats have kinda become soulless.
Aaaaahhhh a real car driver! Thank you pal,this one must be a real beast to drive!
@@bawhbeeuhveenee Really???!! When was the Last time you drove a Hellcat & or Hemi it was Souless ??
@@derekintrovert5619 with most of them being auto yes
A Cadillac nobody asked for, but everyone needed.
And they wont selly any of it
@@westibbs Honestly, that's really sad.
@@westibbs Uh, these are already sold out. can't even get one.
@@yungboicontigo9278 50% of these sold are manual. But yeah usually people don’t put their money where their mouth is. Also people.
People did ask for this because it’s really just a gen 4 CTS-V
I love when Doug says you really have to look for something or you won’t see it, or that most owners probably don’t even notice this, but I did in less than a day with the car. Especially when it’s right on the sides of both front seats.
The manual shift option adds soul and personality to the vehicle. Being involved with how and what the car does, integrates the driver WITH the car. Driving is more than just getting from point a to point b. Enjoy what you drive.
Still remembering Doug complaining about car manufacturers and dealers not giving him cars because he is a silly youtuber. And now Cadillac is sending him 2 cats at a time. Really shows how things have changed
awwwww Cadillac is pwetty awesome, sending 2 caTs to Doug, uwu
@Catholic Firefighter I support trump but why would you bring trump into this 😐
The notion of silly CZcamsrs still exist. Majority of creators are silly CZcamsrs. Only a select few make it out. And even then, they are still considered bottom of the barrel. No one on CZcams whose made it on CZcams has still yet to captivate on a national level. They are not popular and known like true celebrities are. No one knows them. Only a select amount of people do. Know one know Doug on a national level.
It's more like some car manufacturers don't understand CZcams.
What's up PATRIDA ?
I feel like Cadillac doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This is a nice, beast of a car 🔥🔵🔥
Wow. I was expecting your replies to be a war zone between German fanboys and gm fanboys
I was too. Let's start, shall we? I think the CT5-V Blackwing is less of a hybrid of performance and luxury, but more performance mixed with a little bit of luxury. On a track, the CT5v blackwing wins against Germans probably, but as a luxury sedan it sacrifices that aspect for more performance and a lower price
@@agent_bedrock5844 sir, this is a Cadillac, not a sports car.
It’s because of their terrible depreciation.
@@jwalster9412, a Cadillac that has sports car package. So it’s a sports car.. it’s just a family car.
I miss the CTS-V. I used to be so obsessed. I’m glad they’re back to making some hardcore fast sedans.
I love how he sounds like he nuts every time he says "BLAHKWING"
Doug Demuro grunts every time he utters "Blackwing!" which makes it one of his most prominent quirks.
😂
I've never been a General Motors guy but they make one of the best sounding V8s on the planet
Corvettes with aftermarket exhausts are the best sounding American v8s ever made if you ask me. They’re just so loud and sound so angry. That’s purely rating the exhaust note though, dodge demon still wins overall because that supercharged hemi whine is just straight outta hell.
AMGs sound pretty badass. Fords V8s especially the flat plane crank one in GT350 sound great too. Many performance V8s sound good
AMG and HEMI V8s are my favorite along with procharged LS motors. I would have to see AMG (and Mercedes V8s in general) take the cake
American v8s sound the best with GM being the top dog
I feel like you American never heard of Scania V8s.
Even if V8's are pretty expensive in Europe, Scania still make V8 powered semi trucks. The biggest engine they still offer is 16.4 L V8 with 770hp.
I bet American semi trucks can't have 16.4 L V8 due to emissions.
Doug, you are absolutely entertaining while being informative ❗️ 😂
excellent review thanks Doug !

I’m just gonna say, thank god GM is shipping this car with reasonably sized wheels. 19s are perfect
GM shipping! Haaaa!
...until you go to the tire store and see the price
“THIS…” is one of my favorite CZcams car guys. Love his passion! 😎💪🏻
I’m so thrilled Caddy is still offering these beasts. Such a perfect sedan!!
Buy it in 3 years .
the cts-v's are gone. better hurry for one of the other -v's. they make fewer and fewer with each run.
i had to read that twice- i thought you typed 'breasts'...
Someone is gonna buy this car in manual and keeps it in pristine condition for 20 years, then sell it at a 7 figures amount of money.
I don't see this reaching as high as 7 figures for any reason but easily at least double in value
@@JALC-x true that. Better yet, take the $120k and invest in some aggressive funds/stocks and there’s a good chance you’ll be In a better position financially. No need for insurance, storage and tax fees. No thrills tho.
bad investment- you have a to find a truly special caddy- maybe one that was built for a corporate honcho.
I love how he checks the rear-view mirror for cops when he's gunning it
Never really been a Cadillac lover but I think that this car is awesome. I actually love the color. It's bold and in your face. The hair and torque ratings are off the charts! I have to give credit where it's due... Great job Cadillac!
This year during thanksgiving, I’m gonna be thankful for this car. This is a dying breed and we are lucky that Cadillac is keeping it going
@just do it I knew it, the bot spammers still keep spamming over Doug’s channel.
Reported as spam.
@@Ryan.C97998 it's sad how little CZcams cares. It'd be so so easy to fix.
It’s a dying breed for a great reason. It’s a pile of hot garbage.
I dont see why you're thankful they make a car that most of the people in the world cant even begin to afford
I’m not complaining, but is it me or is every car manufacturer want to be the one to make the last “real authentic old school V8 sport car”?
At this rate we will never run out of new gas guzzling sport cars, which is awesome, lol.
Don’t jinx it. 🤫
Well we will eventually because you cannot indefinitely guzzle a finite resource.
@@nicholassmith7048 Not unless we do what Brazil did with sugar cane and instead of putting all that cornstarch in food, we start making Ethanol.
Pure alcohol has been used in motorsports for years so it's not new technology and it has a high knock resistance so you can crank up boost and/or compression.
All the ingredients and waste in ethanol production is biodegradable compost material.
So far gas is cheaper, but it won't be available for ever, unlike corn- the cockroach of crops.
Why do all car guy think that the world has unlimited fuel? We will eventually run out of fuel at some point.
I swear you people played too much video games and forget that real life doesn't have unlimited resources.
@@automation7295 nah. There's plenty
It just occurred to me that if the manual transmission in fact doesn't die off, it might be thanks to youtubers like Doug pointing out how unfortunate the demise of the manual would be.
it WILL die off cuz there are morons driving mtm cars that are under warranty.
I'm 16 and I'd say 1/2 guys my age want a Manual transmission or have one already, hopefully my generation makes the manual more popular again!
@@user-vw4cg1xq7r go for it!
@@bradford_shaun_murray I'm already doing my part daily driving a 5 speed 😂👌

Awesome work Doug 👍
8:29 Doug seems to have almost forgot the last time he turned off traction control in a 700hp RWD car...
And almost crashed it
The Blue looks so good on a bright sunny day, it will definitely stand out from “most” of the new boring technological cars 👍
You didn't notice Doug looking in the rear view when he opened it up?
That blue will get you spotted real quick in the states. 🚔
Really great 👍🏾 in-depth review of a modern Cadillac!
I love how the THIS has evolved into something so rich, full and powerful
A car that accelerated in the low 3 second range should get a 9/10.
Especially a heavy RWD American sedan with a massive supercharged V8 and a manual
@@xboy4331 Yep.
Doug said this did 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Any car that accelerated from 0-60 in between 3.1 and 3.5 seconds should get a 9.
We have cars at 2 seconds. 3.5 seconds is 75% slower 0-60.
@@pierredelecto7069 That belongs in 9/10.
I think he misspoke, the CT5-V Blackwing accelerates to 60 in 3.6-3.7 seconds, which would be an 8/10 by his metrics.
Edit: looks like the auto is 3.4s, manual is 3.6 - 3.7s.
You gotta love Doug’s enthusiasm for a Cadillac.

@@Argiedan

@@Argiedan I think the new cadillacs are drop dead gorgeous personally. Call me crazy, but I like the styling more than the Germans. The Germans still win on interiors though and just overall quality.
People are going to miss these kinds of cars once they're gone. I've had the privilege to drive this car (albeit with the 10 speed), but the manual is clearly something special. I can't wait to own one someday.
Same turn stalks, window buttons, and switches found in every Chevy, Buick, GMC from the Sonic to the Tahoe, Envision, Terrain, Camaro etc... All shared with every Cadillac. Main reason Cadillac and Lincoln aren't taken seriously... Great Review and beautiful car, not worth how much it costs. 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾
I feel like with this being last big v8 sedan that Cadillac is making, they missed a golden opportunity to throw the LT5 under the hood. 755hp would've really made a lasting impact.
Cuz ppl are looking for 500+hp cars as daily drivers, there simply not and this limited production run will be next to impossible to get your hands on and a even more powerful one would be even more rare like dodge demons and red eye challengers with super inflated prices
Engine is too tall
Engine is too tall and the 6 speed manual is not validated for that amount of power, and they are unlikely to validate a new transmission just for this car. The corvette had its 7 speed manual which mounted in the rear, once again a lot of engineering to carry it over.
Look it up it wouldn’t fit Bc the shaker hood
@James Doolittle how the fuck?
Doug: “I wouldn’t get this color on a car I own.”
Also Doug: **Has an Audi station wagon in the same color**
mmm no the Audi is a more regular blue. This is a popier bright blue
I think he might mean he wouldn't want to own a car this fast this color because it draws so much unwanted attention.
Why do all men think his Audi RS2 is the same blue? CT5-V Blackwing is bright blue and more flashy, which draws unwanted attention than his RS2.
I like that color better on the smaller 4 than the 5
@@rdollie1 So people wants bright colors, yet complains drawing unwanted attention from other people? People makes no sense.
All bright colors draws attention.
The stalks are positioned that 'strange' is because it's the manual verision and thus it lacks the shift paddles found on the automatic that would be positioned in front of the stalks. They were not gonna make two different steering columns.
My god, Doug can be so exhausting to watch. He's almost as wiley and animated as Scotty Kilmer.
Lol he really is
HYPERACTIVE WITH A CAPITAL H
Any car manufacturer still offering supercharged engines in 2021 is worthy of respect.
I love when dug explains something thats perfectly reasonable in a sarcastic voice
Doug you have the greatest job, good for you man. You went out there and made it happen..
Great job Doug. I just got mine, orange, 123k loaded. Stick. Its hilarious. Sounds incredible. Louder than I thought in person. Should go up like my zr1 has.. peace and kp up the great work.
How does it feel actually being accomplished in life
I love watching Doug switch gears manually. (I don’t know that I can remember seeing that before.) I also love watching him “feel” the speed when everything out the window turns to a blur and his face gets all “child seeing a trampoline for the first time”. This channel goes!
Love the color. Very similar to my Riviera Blue RS6 Avant!
I prefer my Tango Red RS6.... ;-)
more like a kia stinger
Now you're just making me jealous

There's nothing like Doug's excitement when he floors a hot car!
One thing I truly like Doug he speaks the truth! And that’s that.

Beautiful car! Love that color! Really makes the car pop
Great video!!! I actually like the screen because it's more subtle. I particularly do not like the screen superimposed so the whole world can see the screen from the outside.
Love the color of blue! Very cool. Better than the 10,000 shades of grey that dominate most cars nowadays. This is a nice design and it's great to see manufacturers giving enthusiast something to get excited about other than yet another heavy SUV variant. Like you said, it may be one more swan song ICE for collectors to snap up before the world goes totally EV. The styling of Caddy's is far more distinctive and appealing than Mercedes and BMWs to my mind and I'll never quite understand why they don't sell more cars, unless it's just a brand image thing. Still, all of these vehicles are so far out of reach for most buyers unless they let depreciation kick in and buy one after it's been on the market for a few years and dropped 40k in value. Makes the GR86/BRZ/Miatas a great buy in comparison.
Anyone else notice that “S” and “5” are very similar looking?

Gets me every time 😂
Gotta love how Doug will ALWAYS sandbag any American car he reviews. He complains about a few buttons and a turn signal stalk on this Caddy, but gives the creaking interior bits on a Mercedes a free-pass. He complains about the audacity of Cadillac having actual real physical buttons for the volume and tuning, but says nothing about the god awful and just plain unsafe touchscreen interface on Audis.
Dude you took the words right out of my mouth I been inside the ct5v and the interior was on par with the others it's the same song all the time think they get tired of singing it cause I'm tired of hearing it that's why I always say go and see these car's for yourself these reviewers will have you lost in the sauce
For real, some of these infotainment systems are just as bad as allowing people to text and drive, almost worse I'd think. Physical buttons will always be my favorite.
Don't feel bad, he also hates Lexus.
He wasn't knocking the volume and tuning knobs existing, just that they're so close and nearly indistinguishable. He has a point, but I'd rather have those and get used to them that having to go through 50 screens just to change the radio station like the german infotainments.
@@electthelambda here is why his comment is so ridiculous: 3 days owning the car, you'll know exactly which one is volume and which one is tuning because it's a real physical knob and you quickly build muscle-memory. 6 years of owning my car with touchscreen controls and I still can't just use muscle-memory to click on things because there is zero tactile feedback with a screen. It's just one of Doug's endless nitpicking of any American vehicle all while giving the unreliable and overpriced Germans a free pass. It's always a backhanded compliment with his reviews. He praises the manual and the insane levels of power, but will pick at meaningless nonsense. Then he'll say OmG ThiS CaDdY cOsTs $100k, but then admit that it's tens of thousands less than cars with less power, much worse handling and shit reliability.
The Manual feeling during the drive test was insane man. Very well done from Cadillac to allow manual trans. 👏🏾 👏🏾
I like how you do an in depth review on a car you met 10 minutes ago.

The world is upside down, the Corvette is offered in an auto transmission only, the family sedan Cadillac is offered with a manual.
Automatics are now faster than manuals, that's why the Vette has an automatic
@@__The_Real_V__ The 'Vette has an automatic because the primary buyers of them new are old men having their mid-life crisis.

Just read about this in the new C&D. Good timing, Doug!
I have a 2015 Cadillac CTS Vsport, the twin turbo V6 version. I can only imagine what this one is like lmao. If you're the first owner or lessee of one of these, they'll actually take you to a track school and teach you how to tame this beast
What's it like to drive?
I have a 2016 CTS V-sport and this definitely interests me. I actually test drove the regular CT5-V and it didn't even feel quite as quick as our cars to me, even though the numbers are slightly better on paper. I'll definitely be waiting to grab one of these Blackwings off lease to replace my CTS in a couple years.
Hold on to it. I'm in the market for one and they are SCARCE.
@@angrycatmeowmeow
They really are, I noticed

Picture that classic wafting Cadillac luxury but with scat pack performance and Corvette handling at your literal fingertips.
Him talking about the end of this era of v8 RW manuals hits home. I’ve always loved this class of sports car, although autos are still offered it’s not quite the same. Sad to see them go!
Unless Dodge decides to put a manual in the Charger Hellcat (missed opportunity if they don't), this will probably be the last manual shift performance sedan
Nice car, can't wait to see one in person.
I sold my Z06 and.purchased a Daytona Hellcat (number 123) but it doesn't have that luxury feel, it's time for a Cadillac.
mopars are flimsy in comparison to fisher bodies.
I'm actually not a fan of GM, but this is the cooolest new car I've seen in a while!!
That thing will be lucky to get past 60k miles. GM products are trash.
22:40 - the sound of budget cops chasing you, if you keep flooring it all day
That funny V-mode racing circle button @7:20 looks like a churchwarden pipe. I would have never seen the racing-V unless Doug so delicately pointed it out. Nice touch Cadillac, that's how to smoke your competition!
Doug is so damn excited. Reminds me of the first couple times they allowed Quentin Tarentino to act in other people's movies.
If I had money this would legitimately be the car I go pick up. This one car worth more than my families whole fleet though. I really really hope that people buy this
I don't see it happening who's gonna buy this that isn't REALLY into cars y'know like most people are just gonna get cheap power in hellcats
@@aj9777 yeah there's no way. You have to be a big car person. I just hope there's enough left with money to buy this. Maybe in 10 years I'll be making the kind of money that could go buy this new. But by then this will be gone.
see? if you didn't have a family to feed you could buy one.
@@tommurphy4307 I mean I could buy one anyway. But I'd have to live in it hahaha
I sat down with my favorite fried chicken from my favorite local place and when I sat down I saw this was posted an hour ago. Watching Doug with my favorite food is bliss.
It’s the simple and least expensive things in life that give us the greatest pleasure!
Doug the goat for the metric readouts✅
I test drove the CT4-V Blackwing at Laguna Seca last weekend and I loved it! The one quirk that stood out to me was that the B-pillar was a little too far forward. I had to move the seat FORWARD to get out. I thought that was odd since most of the time when I get out of a car, if anything, I have to move the seat BACK. What they got right was the placement of the cup holders. Something the folks at Lotus should take note of.
How can this be less beautiful from outside than an rs7 or a e63 wagon. This is stunning! At least same score
“This car is exceptionally cool, it gets 7/10”
I don’t think he knows what “exceptional” means.
His ratings are always bogus lol
Isn't it relative? Its a Cadillac not a McLaren..
@@hyperreal yeah, some dummies can’t comprehend shades of gray
Its 100k+ dollar sports sedan, not a 1kk+ dollar hyper car, u can't espect this thing to get the same rating as some of the exclusive shit doug reviews.
Wow, this thing is gorgeous. RWD, Manual, Sedan, V8, I smell a future Classic
I actually like the dials being right next to each other. Easy to reach both at the same time in the same place. Makes perfect sense and if Doug figured out what they do in just a few hours with the car, I’m sure owners will too.
Still can’t get over how similar the roof line is to the new Civic.
Lol true
Or that Nissan-esque rear window crease.
The new civic is just 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. This Cadillac is angular in a GOOD way. And I say this as someone who generally prefers Japanese over American cars.
Except the CT5 has been out for what - nearly 3 years now? So who is copying who??
@@rdollie1 lol true, I should have said Accord since it also has the same design language and it pre-dates the CT5.
