    Doug, I have to severely disagree with your cool factor score on this - it deserves to be bumped up at least 1. My ATS-V gets CONSTANT looks and compliments from random people. Probably doesn't help that it's fire engine red, but still. This car and the ATS-V represent an American alternative to the German counterparts, and that in itself is considered very cool by many. This and the ATS-V also often get overshadowed by their bigger, V8 powered brothers, as you mentioned. This adds a factor of, "oh yeah, I forgot about those cars, but they're pretty sweet!"

    I drove the CT4 Blackwing and the M3 competition back to back before making my decision. I have to disagree on a few things. The CT4 felt like a much more composed, and better feeling chassis. The steering feel was better. The chassis dynamic feels better. The traction management systems are better. The manual trans feels WAY better. The BMW manual was atrocious. The Blackwing, let's face it, looks WAY better. The Blackwing felt like an overall more fun to drive car. It reminds me of what M3s are supposed to be. The M3 felt big, bloated, and not nearly as fun. I'll agree the interior may not quite be as nice but with some of the materials but, I prefer the simplicity in the Blackwing. So, that's what I bought. Plus, in order.to get a similarly equiped M3 competition, with the aero and upgraded seats I wanted, I was at like 92k where the Blackwing with every option I wanted cost me 75995. The M3 is a good car, I think the Blackwing is more of an enthusiast car. That's just how I felt. And, I currently have an E46 M3 sitting in my garage. So, not necessarily a bias thing either

      😂 which isn't even in the same price range, so who cares? Like if it makes sense that the CT4 gives you less luxury at ~$70k than a CTV at ~$130k. I mean, it would make no sense to give the cheaper car as much cool stuff as the more expensive one. Why even bother comparing it to a car that consumers won't be looking at as an alternative?

    This car is special. It's not what everyone else has. It looks good, it's powerful, and it handles. The engine is going to be fine, as they used a forged crank, rods, Titanium valves, and a heavy duty clutch. A lot of the tech that went into these engines, has found its way into the 2.7L 4 cyl used in the Silverado/Sierra, and the upcoming 2023 Colorado and Canyon.
    These are one of those limited production cars that when I see one, it catches my attention way more than the legions of leased 3-Series or AMG Benz out on the street.

    I find it interesting, and a bit perplexing, that you rated the M3 exactly the same as the CT4-V and the CT5-V Blackwings in the “styling” category, especially since you admitted that the Bimmer was ugly (more like FUGLY, in my opinion). Although the Blackwing cars may not appeal to everyone, stylistically, I think very few people, and especially car people, would find them ugly. 🤔

I don't need 670 HP. I loved the way it drives and I thought the materials were not bad at all. Leg room also isn't bad considereing I'm only 5'7" so where I had the driver's seat there was plenty of room in back. The only weird thing about it is that I found that I needed to move the seat forward to get out instead of back because the B-pillar is a little too far forward for me. But once I moved the seat forward enough, I had no problem getting out. I would get one.

    I just picked one of these up. Spent the last two weeks trying to decide between a M3 and this vehicle. If you lease, the M3 is cheaper. It has 6 points higher residual and half the MF which completely negates any price difference between the two cars. I had to have a manual though. After deciding to lease I then spent nearly a week trying to buy a M3. But unfortunately they were either sold, customers orders being listed online, competition models which means auto or they were at dealerships that won't sell to out of state customers(Cali).
    So when I saw a manual CT4-BW on Autotrader with options I was OK with and no dealer markup I said lets do it. I've already had 2 BMW, currently have a X3M so why not try something different. So finance and BW it is.

    When pushing "Cars and Bids" why does Doug never refer to the car he is shown standing by?

      Because that is a preview of a future car he is going to review, not necessarily one being sold on cars and bids.

      Explain why the Honda Civic has so much back seat room then... because the room back there is absolutely flat-out impressive.
