    #Cadillac hasn't had the best track record when it comes to a small sport sedan. However, that all changed with the incredibly fun-to-drive ATS back in 2013. Unfortunately, it didn't sell quite as well as Caddy hoped which is why they decided to replace it with the all-new 2020 #CadillacCT4 this year. Built on the same alpha platform as the ATS, the #CT4 is slightly longer and more refined. At the same time, ‪@Cadillac‬ decided to replace the old V6 with a new 450T trim which is powered by a 2.7L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the #CT4V makes its return but with significantly less power than the old #ATSV, for now.

      Compare and price option-to-option the Caddy against another European luxury rival. I guarantee the rival will be substantially more expensive. As a Cadillac owner, trust me... I KNOW Caddy's shortcomings (and they are many). But, the hate is way, way overblown and I'd be curious how many of the haters on the internet have actually driven a (new) cadillac in the past five years.

    I have been hearing the exact same comments about Cadillac my entire adult life: "It's a good car and ALMOST as good as the Germans, but not quite." Despite endless $billions GM has spent on Cadillac, they have yet to get it right. This sad CT4 is merely a restyled ATS with a slightly nicer interior. It's not even an all new car. I don't see who the buyer is for this car. The older buyers won't care about the RWD, and won't like the tiny trunk and rough engine. Younger buyers would want either a German car at this price, or a Tesla.
