Cadillac is a name we typically associate with luxury, expensive stuff, and old people. But in 2004 GM set out to give the Cadillac brand a new look, one that would appeal to young people, still be luxurious, but be capable of doing donuts. Caddy went to the drawing board and decided to give America a new luxury sedan, the CTS. It did not take long before Cadillac decided to go toe to toe with Mercedes-Benz’s performance division, AMG, and BMW’s M division. Cadillac took the V8 out of the C5 Z06 Vette and threw in the CTS … which they now had named the CTS-V. But what happened next?

Would you get the CTS-V wagon, sedan, or coupe? Why?
sedan
Donut Media sedan cuz it’s kinda cool looks like an undercover C I A car
Donut Media my dad has the sedan
Have an 09 sedan but I really wanted a wagon. Best wagon ever made without a doubt.
Sedan, it is so wonderfully styled. Though the estate would be good for the dogs..

Because he's a great orator!
Glad you just started with just one Caddy model. I want like a 20 minute episode on Cadillac. Y'all are awesome keep it up.

Hang on to it
The CTS-V is one of those strange GM oddities; it shows that, though GM doesn't always get even close to the mark, when it does get it right, it gets it VERY right.
The cyclone tech if they kept with it starting back in 91 pulling mid 4s 0-60..like how did they give up on that....shoulda put that shit in a car 😂

LOVED THIS! In 2004 I had a 2003 Z06 corvette which at the time was a big deal because in 2002 it went to the 405 hp LS2 v8 which was up from the 2001 z06. While owning, the cts-v came out with the AMG and M competitor putting THE "big" z06 v8 in a CTS-V with the Tremec 6 sod. 5 second z06 powered 4 door sedan which at the time looked super cool with that mesh grill and wide fenders,. I sold my z06 and bought the Cts-V in black on black and powder coated the wheels black and man I loved it! Lingenfelter cold air intake, throttle body and Borla straight pipes had it sounding so good!!! (ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO WORSE CAR IN SNOW!!!!). My c5 z06 was truly decent in the snow but my gen 1 Cts-V was epicly horrible!!! To where I could back out of the driveway onto packed down snow and literally NOT be able to move forward a foot! No clutch feathering or TC could get that beast moving lol. Had it several years and sold to buy the "new" c6 corvette but sold that several years later to buy THE Unicorn, 2011 CTS-V Wagon with the 6-Speed, triple black!! I wanted the 2 door coupe BUT had no idea how much my Unicorn would be worth today. Ugh. Sold that to go back a step buying a 2006 Lingenfelter c6 z06 corvette which was truly my favorite of all the vehicles I've owned. Sold that when my 3rd daughter was born but now looking into the last gen cts-v with that 640hp setup. Sadly for not a lot more a c8 corvette can be purchased lol but have the feeling that won't be for long as soon as the c8 hits the streets , the 3rd gen Cts-V should drop considerably as they are already seeing a drop in sales where it's been out a few years. The CTS-V has been a part of my 20's and 30's and greatful Cadillac took a chance on it! Almost bought an XLR-V thinking it was really cool looking and a Cadillac corvette but looking back a good choice to go cts-V as the XLr-V's values tanked hugely the second drove off the lot and a supercharged northstar v8 was definitely not a supercharged Corvette motor lol.
Man this video took me back! Thanks for posting!!!

@@BigWheel. You mean the completely redone 2nd gen north star Lc3 that consistently makes it 200k miles before just the trans gives out? Or maybe the one that will make 500 wheel hp with basic bolt ons? Or maybe that one that has a super rigid design but is also one of the smoothest driving american v8?

New V Caddies, Vettes and Camaros are the love part of my hate-love relationship with GM
JavierCR25 , my dad was a GM salesman all his life, and I grew up in GM cars. But, I am so disappointed with the past few decades of GMs. But, then the most recent hot Camaro, Cadillac’s and vettes looked like something exciting.... and then they decided to kill two of the three. I rather cut my left nut off rather than buy any GM cross-over monstrosity. It’s absolute cruel to those of us who had to endure the 80s, 90s & 00’s.
In my mind Corvette is separate branch from normal GM, all other cars have weak base models with V6 and cheap trims. But Corvettes where only available with best engines from the start and other GM cars got de-tuned version from corvette engines.
DuBstep115 man I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Got the new GTO, G8, caddy, duramax , vette, cobalt ss, Camaro, turbo 4 cylinder with 300 hp, 6 cylinder with 320 hp, and the ss with 425 and more, got the Silverado ( which Americans love ) , then you got the Chevy ss, GM is doing fine and is making great cars. I actually support all GM, dodge, and ford production cars.
Evan Hisey this is what we are talking about www.wired.com/story/gm-job-cuts-plant-closings-future-cars/. We are agreeing... GM has done some great cars recently. But disappointed they are planning to discontinue many.
I love watching this channel, it unleashes my love and hype for cars
Thank you Jamie boy for doing this video on the CTS-V I know you did it upon my request and that's awesome. Thanks dad!

I always though the V in CTS-V standed for the V8 engine.
The ATS has a -V and it is a twin turbo V6
@@kl0wnkiller912 it's still a V engine so it's fine
@@kl0wnkiller912 v configuration. It's a v6
Stands for v configured engine
The CTS base model has a V configured engine as well. Pretty sure all Cadillacs are V layout. How exactly would it be distinguishing anything? Like he said in the video, it doesn't stand for anything, it was just focus tested.
I wish I could make my wife watch this video. We have owned a 2011 CTS-V for 4+ years. She has only driven it one time. She does not appreciate or even have any idea what kind of car it is. I love it. I sold a 1991 ZR-1 so that I could own a V. Thanks for the video! Yes I've watched it twice and commented again! (3rd time it seems) Haha...
MORE POWER BABY! I own and love my 2011 CTS-V. I may get a C8 Corvette in the future, but I will try to keep my old Cadillac! Thanks for the funny video!
The CTS-V Wagon is the GOAT! 🔥 i wish they made a new one, but we all know that won't happen! 🥺

CTS stands for Catera Touring Sedan, but the V stands for Voracious... Devours everything in sight.
That's so funny I can barely believe it. The Caddie that zigs lives on? 🤣🤣🤣
That mo powa segment was heart warming, I miss the student guy, never thought I would
So damn happy y’all added this man 😭 MO POWA BABY!
I have experience with the STS-V and it came with the 4.4L supercharged Northstar V8 and it was a BEAST!
I own a 97 seville sts with a rebuilt northstar engine and headgasket and lemme tell you, experiencing a 4000 lbs sedan going upwards of 130 mph is fucking awesome.
I just got one a couple months ago and I love it
Best video ever. This guy deserves his own show.
The CTS has been replaced by the CT5. The V-Series is no longer the top performance for Cadillac. It is now called the Blackwing. The CTS-V has been replaced by the CT5-V. The upcoming CT5-V Blackwing is going to be the top performance sedan and it is going to have "More Power Baby!" than the outgoing CTS-V. We're talking 650-700 horsepower and a top speed over 200 m.p.h. It is going to be a monster. Stay tuned!!!

Bye bye Mercedes
adam forbes find me a stock e63 wagon that will outperform the V and one whose dash isn’t lit up like a Christmas tree and then you can talk.
Great content! Sub to you guys last week after watching my first episode of the 350z builds. Only have to point out one thing since I have one of these, "3rd Gen" the most powerful engine GM produced was the LT5 found in the ZR1 making 755hp. Granted the LT4 suppose to be detuned in both the CTS-V and ZL1 Camaro, the Z06 LT4 version delivered 650hp. Like you said though, the CTS-V's are gone but their replacement look like it won't disappoint either with their new smaller Displacement V-8 engine and Twin Turbos.
04 cts v 1st gen, 72k miles , Ive not done much too it K&N intake, rear parking break assembly, creative steel short shift, and 1 to 4 lockout bypass. My plans are cat back, engine and transmission mounts, eventually down the road swap the weak rear end (its howling currently) its kind of like a project car that i can use as a daily. Love it best sedan. EDIT = i paid 12k for it goes to show you can get what you want at reasonable price but you might have to drive for it. mine came from new jersey and i live in texas so it went quite a waze.
Love the show. It was awesome having fans involved. MO POWA BABEH
I remember James May drove a ctsv on top gear and from that day i was sold
Yeah idk why that wasn't mentioned
Best Ls platform to date, best used performance sedan on a budget that you buy today period. Mine is currently making 795whp and running mid 9s with the stock blower (ported) I wish I got a wagon

With lack of options in the all new ct5 I can see the cts making a come back for people who want true luxury. But, I believe it depends on how well the ct5 will sell and, if enough people get the premium fully loaded package.
