2016 Cadillac ATS-V Review

[@DrHistoryV]

One thing he should have mentioned, you can't get the M3 or M4 with a manual transmission anymore... ATS-V gets big props for having a 6 speed as an option.

[@IsiahHD]

You can in the U.S.

[@Macintsoh1]

Yes you can

[@dootdoot1867]

The Fulcrum Have you ever been in a BMW dealership? You can spend 4 hours just customizing your car... If you have the money sitting around, they will make it happen.

[@jackzakowski6952]

DootDoot If you've owned a BMW, you've probably returned to the dealership many times for repairs. If you have money sitting around, expect it to disappear.

[@Christdeliverme]

DootDoot Oh yeah? They'll get it in a manual for ya?

[@fjones1914]

I bought a 2017 sedan in the same color in 2020 and have been loving every second behind the wheel. I've also taken it to COTA twice with Edge Addicts and had a great time!

[@PHOBIAx57x]

It's also more reliable and cheaper to maintain than any German car.

[@Landslide2024]

Riley Nelson More reliable? Set the glass pipe down, you have clearly had enough.

[@PHOBIAx57x]

***** It's 2015, you've clearly been living under a rock.

[@Landslide2024]

Riley Nelson It's a gm product, reliability and gm don't coexist.

[@Landslide2024]

***** Meaning, Bmw, Audi and Benz don't have anything in common with gm? I couldn't agree more, You are very correct

[@realchimera]

Riley Nelson You need to wake up. It's 2015. Unless you are diehard caddy fans, no one is going to be biting. With $70k, you can buy much better and more luxurious Germany cars.

[@AF93510]

no reason to buy an M3/M4 anymore, other than being a BMW snob.... ATS V is just better in every facet

[@icemanroyal]

Wait, did I just see you can have a manual with this car? Was I hallucinating? Where am I ? What's going on? How could this amazingness be true?

[@wdpm6424]

It's ok it's ok, enjoy this car but make sure u take ur high blood pressure pill u will need it

[@gandalf7292]

Yep it's unbelievable an American sportcar with a manual option 😂

[@dinobravo23]

Maxime [e-mail] Huh? We're the only ones still offering manuals.

[@Frandaman84]

dinobravo23 Everyone is young minded nowadays and don't really know shit. american cars FTW

[@skirmich]

dinobravo23 Why would anyone want a Manual this day and age?? Everyone else is riding the more DD friendly and faster AUTOs

[@Silverdeamon92]

This car has now peaked my interest on Cadillac as a potential buy in the luxury segment. I know in the past the CTS-V woke up BMW and Mercedes about the M5 and the E series (55/63) AMG models. No doubt the Germans will answer back. As an auto enthusiast and not a *closed-minded* fan-boy of brands, I am happy to see that there is a credible competitor to the staid German offerings. Cadillac still have some work to do however this offering shows they mean business and that's a good start and will be interesting to see what they have in store for 2020. Now let us see a head-2-head AutoGuide.com make it happen and BTW keep up the good work.

[@JustChillingNahhhhMean]

First time I fell in love with an american car, much respect.

[@efrainvalladares2357]

Much respect to you man

[@TheDiscrazy]

Dinu G Not even the CTS-V? Corvette Stingray Z06? Tesla P85D? Charger Hellcat? Viper(I feel like that one is just me)?

[@bighands69]

Dinu G There are Several other American cars that are just as good.

[@weedmastersr]

It's awesome for having a manual!

[@Frandaman84]

Protector of the Republic only the v sport didn't have a manual. whats with the surprise? they've been with the manual since the first V in 03

[@weedmastersr]

Frandaman84 You're referring to the CTS?

[@weedmastersr]

Lewis O In a performance car I'll always prefer a manual. Nothing beats a clutch for driver involvement. And I don't find anything cheap about a manual. Manuals are fun. But, I too like when a car has options. It's good to have options so you can get the car that you want. I have to give it to Cadillac. Their newest performance models are awesome.

[@weedmastersr]

Lewis O Glad to hear that.

[@weedmastersr]

Siege I don't care much about the speed of shifting. It's more about the pleasure of driving. I love manuals. But as you said, there are situations when they can be difficult. Imagine you're parked on a hill road and another car is parked just 10 inches behind you. You need to start without the car moving backwards a bit. So yeah, I hate those kind of situations too, but when I get on a nice twisty road in a manual, magic happens.

[@theunknown4772]

This car is pure beauty!

[@sidjohnson1207]

I like It , faster than a M4!

[@theunknown4772]

For sure!

[@VaunShiz]

sid johnson only thing that's faster is it's 0-60.. that dosnt make it a faster car seeing they are track cars not drag racing cars lmao simple minded Americans

[@sidjohnson1207]

+matthew von what are you mexican

[@RenlangRen]

The ATS V's 0-60 is faster, its top end is higher, its quarter mile is faster, it has a better suspension and better braking. The BMW M's do have nicer dual clutch transmissions and nicer interiors though. That is how it brakes down. The BMW is for luxury and the Cadillac is for performance.

[@vanessabrown1008]

I can smell my pocket burning from speeding tickets. Lol.

[@turbotodd69721]

It's pretty bad when Ferrari asked to use GM's Magna ride system for the LaFerrari. Cadillac has come a long way. The ATS-V is one hell of a car.

[@NativeTexMexican]

I love this car! I love Cadillac for making it! I love you guys for testing it up the road! Light, fast, efficient, turbocharged, and agile! WTF?! This is official my new dream car. Im sure once modified, this thing will be capable of 700/800 horsepower EASY! Suck on that HellCat!!! And Its Freakin Beautiful! Not to mention all that carbon fiber... I am so in love. Thank you Cadillac, youve given me another life goal that I have every intention of accomplishing.

[@moparmadness7006]

Way to go GM for making a bad ass powerful luxury brand with good looks. I was a GM fan a long time ago, they lost me with hideous designs and underpowered cars, but it looks like I'll be coming back to GM.

[@tomnguyen7178]

+Mrfastvwg60 GM's performance cars are really awesome. didnt like them so much before until i test drived a c6 corvette, i fell in love with that car. then just recently i tried out my cousin's cts-V and my, it feels like a corvette but with better interior. i would love to get my hands on either the new ast-v or the cts-v, or even better a c7 z06! haha

[@moparmadness7006]

+tomnguyen717 Yeah I hear you it looks like GM is back, and they finally fired some of the idiot designers that were screwing up their entire line of cars.

[@tomnguyen7178]

Mrfastvwg60 i ended up buy a 2011 corvette a month later then also picked up a 2013 5.0 in 2012. im a sucker for american cars lol.

[@moparmadness7006]

+tomnguyen717 Yeah me too, unfortunately I'm old enough to remember a time, when any import was 10 times better than an American car. I remember that pick up trucks is the only segment that kept the American car companies alive. But today's story, is a different story, American cars are better than most imports.

[@tomnguyen7178]

same, i use to only drive imports until i purchase the vette. best bang for your buck if you want performance

[@kbowiing58]

Looks like a home run to me! 0-60/3.8! Love it! The best part, affordable maintenance! Across the board home run for GM: Corvette Z06, ATS V, and since the numbers are good for those two cars, the CTS V/630 hp, aka, 4 Door Vette, I have no doubt to place my bet for the Tri-Fecta! Way to go GM/Cadillac! My ATS V will be blue.

[@lejink]

0-60 in 3.8? That's pretty good, looks like a fun car

[@rjgthuro]

Oh its here! Why I love the new Cadillac! It feels like 09 CTS-V deja-vu. Only difference is I'll be able to get this one.

[@LocDawgd]

Absolutely love it, I can't wait to start seeing these cars on the road

[@irishmexican21oc]

Can't wait to check it out.

[@troypower4733]

Great looking car, way nicer than the M4....as quick as my 2015 Z51 stingray...wild!!! Well done Cadillac.

[@socalTelematicsTech]

Not a GM fan but this caddie is sick

[@HowToGoSupernova]

Really love this channel.

[@TheCoffeeField]

You guys have, not only the best reviews out there, but also the best soundtracks. Can someone tell us where do you guys get them from?

[@danielallocca7770]

As an American, this is why I like Canadians. They feel that ''Merica sprit too. Hell - our brothers to the north even manufacture many of the great American cars. If the revolution ever comes, we will have your back. Joking aside, nice review.

[@Mr.k3n]

I'm a euro bellend and I own an e39 5 series and I agree this caddy is fine!! If they had these in RHD on this side of the pond and I had to buy this or an m4 I'd be scratching my head for hours.

[@9freelandk]

So nice in white, I actually like the dials lol nice review !

[@mbg10484]

will this car's motor (LF4) be available as a crate motor? Would work nice in a truck I'm going to build.

[@vzda123]

This might be the only Cadillac I would buy.

[@megangamble8859]

i've owned caddys my entire life and i have no complaints at all...honestly i am not an american car person but cadillac is certainly one usa brand that stands above the rest. (at least in my experience) :) I'm still loving my 1998 sts and all i have had to do is oil changes and new brakes.

[@MrGovenator1]

Love the exterior, especially in that white. Looks really fun, cheaper than the germans, whats not to love? Ohhhhhh, that gauge cluster.... That thing was horrible.

[@EfraKrajo]

MrGovenator1 Yeah, it's so so... ugly, why they ruin the car like that!!!. It's a mystery!

[@MrGovenator1]

efrain kennedy They have all these people to build a beautiful car, but they didn't put any one on the gauge cluster? The thing you look at the entire time you are driving.... My WRXs gauge cluster is MUCH better than this thing, the the ATS is going to cost twice as much LOL.

[@VaunShiz]

It's cheaper then the m4 because the m4 has a dual clutch option not the weird 8 speed auto GM uses

[@iSOBigD]

MrGovenator1 If you buy a WRX for its gauge cluster, that's just silly. There's nothing luxurious in an Impreza and it does not compare in terms of features and materials with these cars. Not to mention this particular one is also much, much faster in terms of acceleration and top speed, although I would like AWD on it.

[@MrGovenator1]

iSOBigD Was only comparing the gauges, nothing more. And no, I didn't not buy a car for a gauge cluster.

[@Dgannt]

Nice review. Cadillac has come a long way. But this class and above is now a days called luxury performance. So Cadillac needs to improve both the cabin (that gauge cluster and Cue), and more back space. These cars are not performance only. I hope these generation Cadillac is overall as fast as BMW and not just 0-60 as the last gen. Looking forward to a H2H.

[@CrossWindsPat]

God damn GM really stepping up! Nearly 500 HP from a v6 and they are giving you a manual! AND its the lightest yet?!?!?! Wow. Plus you know this beast with some bolt ons and a tune will respond reaaalll nice!

[@TheCanadianCyclist]

A to the T to the S with a V...

[@aliar3771]

I'm a fan but.. this guy kills it I see Cadillac reflection on his eyes.

[@zoidzoid87]

Everybody always gone talk they shit lol....…..but in all honesty Its not the 90's or 2000's anymore and gm is building better cars and thoe BMW is very iconic and the look are unmistakable but the caddy looks nicer with cleaner lines especially that escalade...

[@Mr_poopypants69]

Just because its a different generation doesn't mean GM doesn't still make shit cars... Nothings changed.

[@vernonprice5986]

jake smith Except everything has changed. You're just too stupid to do the research.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

still love a 5 seater 4 door car that only seats 2. everything the bmw does, it does with space for a full 5 people. the ats compares stronger with the bmw m1/2 in terms of size. which means the cts is the car to compare against the m3/4

[@statuscapo]

I have the regular ATS 2013 and overall I like it. I leased mine and glad I didn't buy it. At 45,000KM the breaks are already making noise and there are a few other unattractive noises. Overall its a great drive and good looking car.

[@jariol]

I don't know if it's because I'm in my 50's. But I've seen a CTSV and just a week ago ATSV. And I said to myself these new Cadillacs look even cooler than when I see them being raced by Johnny O'Connel or Andy Pilgrim. They are not Ferrari pretty but more like "The Car" from the 70's James Brolin movie. Kind of a mean obscene bad boy cool. Is that my imagination?

[@smeets82]

The BMW M4 only does 155mph... yes that's because it's electronically limited to 155 due to Euro regulations. Take off the limiter and it would be well and truly up around the 190mph mark too I am sure.

[@teasipper6106]

Cadillac's performance is there but the exterior styling is still a bit dowdy. The m4 is not necessarily beautiful but it looks modern even after you become used to the shape. The ats looks half a generation behind the times. The v improves the looks, but doesn't fully solve the problem. I know looks are subjective, but sales numbers are not.

[@bestpilot98]

TeaSipper really? so, enlighten us....what are the sales numbers?

[@teasipper6106]

bestpilot98 See: www.forbes.com/sites/kbrauer/2014/11/11/2015-cadillac-ats-why-cadillac-cant-sell-great-car/ A lot of writers mention these less than stellar sales issues, and then, like this Forbes guy, say that styling isn't the issue. I'm not convinced. The styling does not age well. The regular models lack the aggression of the V. The V should do better but can't carry sales numbers for the fleet. Even in the V, the interior is a let down. Cadillac needs to change things at dealers, but they also need to come out with more aggressive but sophisticated designs.

[@marquezup]

Not hating, but bmw has been designing their cars exactly the same for since i can remember .. Lol .. Exterior wise ..

[@teasipper6106]

Luis Marquez They've been doing just enough to keep their cars modern. I don't really love their design, but I think the none-V series Cadillacs, especially the ATS, look half a generation behind the times. Mainly I think it's all the chrome on the front grill and the fuzzy looking non-HID, non-LED headlights on the lower end model trims. The headlights on the ATS especially look out of place in a luxury car. The CTS headlights are much better and the Escalade is really how it should be done. Again, not really pretty, but modern. In general the the V series styling is much better. There was an article from one of the auto magazines a few weeks back calling for sports styling options on all Cadillacs. I think it's a very good idea considering Cadillac's flagging sales on everything except the Escalade.

[@mrmzr-ek9hs]

i really like the cadilac desain, its luxurious. but how about its reliability, is it any good now? is it in the same class with german reliability or even on par with lexus reliabilty ? really like the exterior desain.

[@And3rson1294]

Pretty sweet. Appearance and design aesthetics are subjective. I prefer the M4 slightly more. Would love to see a head to head. Do a subcompact shoot out with the micra as well lol

[@bliglum]

Top speed 189mph! That's faster than the new Corvette Z06!!!! Sure, the Z06 could prob go a bit faster if you removed it's aggressive aero, but damn!

[@DeleonD3100]

bliglum Z06 top speed is 200mph

[@bliglum]

Well, I heard 186.. But as I said, perhaps with the aerodynamic bits removed it would be closer to 200.

[@Hockiet]

bliglum its spoiler is keeping it on the road. motor trend tested it with and without the spoiler and it was slower around the track without the spoiler because of the lack of grip

[@Hockiet]

bliglum its spoiler is keeping it on the road. motor trend tested it with and without the spoiler and it was slower around the track without the spoiler because of the lack of grip

[@alphatyranax2968]

bliglum Actually, the Z06 even with the Z07 aero package still goes over 190. Removing it will make it break 200. Now the real comparison would be with the Stingray. Same price range, same power range... And if what this guy says is true, the ATS-V is faster to 60 than the Stingray!

[@Shadow8411]

What are the key differences between this and the cts v?

[@frankmonte437]

great overall review

[@jamescutter9868]

Why is everyone so obsessed with speed between the M4 and this? In my opinion I don't really care about the speed, all that matters is how you feel behind the wheel! Both cars are awesome.

[@rueben44]

After driving this car you only complain about one single thing and that is the gauges. There is a way to install the digital version thankfully. Such an amazing car!

[@kingwindie]

forgive me for this comparison,but can you compare this to a camaro ss,or mustang gt?i didn't hear the hp for this car?i know the top speed blows the other two away.

[@jhe1967]

kingwindie hp 464

[@nUk380]

is it rwd or awd?

[@LiqCharles]

how much is the base price?

[@Hew_Jass]

very impressive car! i love it!

[@ponrix]

no slotted cross drilled rotors?

[@VaunShiz]

They act like the 2k price difference means something, 2k is a small price to pay for a 7 speed dual clutch that's in the M4. Plus these cars are track cars, why would you say it's faster then the m4 just because you quoted a 0-60.. time attacks are flying laps, 0-60 don't matter there

[@DZGunner]

matthew von If they're track cars then why do they have back seats and air conditioning. So I can track my whole family and risk killing them all at once, whilst destroying my 64k car that is going to plummet in value by the next year anyways?

[@GunZTube1]

What song is that at the end?

[@redriver15262]

well...... BYE BMW im a German car junkie and i actually REALLY like this car, it seems like an all around package except for the interior, but i would personally strip the interior to the necessary stuff for the gains bruh bmw has kind of gone to crap lately and cadillac is pushing them aside and taking advantage, and i like it

[@mikeoxlong643]

for only 2000$ less than an M3 id get the BMW just for the interior quality

[@mark7067]

Etienne Bruneau That tells us you've never been inside both cars. The BMW F30/32 has a crap interior, one filled with plenty of cheap, hollow bits and pieces. Your comment also tells us something else, you're not a driving enthusiast. The M3 is regularly panned for being numb and clinical.

[@mikeoxlong643]

So you're criticising me for disliking the ats interior, yet you complain about the driving dynamics of a car you've never driven. lol. Sounds like an internet fanboy to me

[@mark7067]

Etienne Bruneau I've driven the M3.

[@Frandaman84]

In mother Russia the M3 drive you!

[@dillonkennedy1655]

The mazda commercial is actually very good

[@tvanb]

"M3 and M4 will do 155 mph" are you serious... you are an auto journalist and you don't even know that those cars are electronically limited to that speed...? wow.

[@a_cc4954]

This whole video was to show how better the Cadillac is compare to the m4... I don't belive the 3.8 second 0-60, it sounds like wat Cadillac is saying that it'll do, but as every other car manufacture ,their word means nothign. Am waiting for others to review it

[@925boosting]

I hate when the journalist doesn't give the true facts. Yes it's top speed is 155mph but that's because is governed to 155mph, it will easily go faster than 155mph if you remove the limiter. I do like the CTS-V a lot but $2k cheaper than an M4 is not enough to make it an easy decision on which car to get. I like the M4 styling better but I like the CTS-V power and suspension better. The magnetic suspension is hard to beat when it comes to comfort and changing it to sport.

[@dootdoot1867]

925boosting Specially when the US government has regulation in place that charges every foreign car manufacturer import fee's that equate to a couple grand per car... Domestic manufacturers already get significant advantages in product launch costs, Labor costs and shipping costs... And they still can't even deliver similar qualities in materials used on their products. If Cadillac has a hard time competing in a market in which they start with an inherent advantage... Someone is lining their pockets with the cash that should of been spent on the car.

[@Eric_515]

DootDoot Compared to EU and Asian market, the US is fair.

[@russellvw21]

Sound like he's trying to sell a chevy instead of reviewing it. Guess he's bought

[@stefanzdroid]

Why would you be comparing the BMW m4 and this. They are different weight classes and completely different cars. Did you even see the seats in that they are uncomfortable as hell while the BMW is a cabin of luxury and comforte.

[@vernonprice5986]

Stefan Diaconu This car was developed specifically to beat the M3/M4. They even took one along with them while they were developing the ATS-V for direct comparison. They are almost the same weight, why do you think they're different weight classes? The ATS-V is a bit lighter than the M cars. It's like you're being stupid on purpose.

[@AW4WAL]

This is such a funny review/take on the Cadillac ats-v, but just one note, if and when you'd better, would you really need to compare to lesser beings nor shout it out with a megaphone; it's feel more like you only wish you were better!

[@Scorpio1075]

This guy cracks me up! 1. He's driving an automatic, but talking about manual transmissions... no third peddle = automatic. 2. Typical American review, more HP = better. So it's faster in a straight line, what about everyplace else? How about a lap time? 3. Top speed the M4 is electronically governed at 155, that is not the cars top speed if you remove the limiter. I'm curious if he had the ATS-V over 155 mph? 4. He says it's $2000 cheaper than an M4 or M3, problem being the M3 is $2200 cheaper than the M4. 5. BMW's all come with a 4 yrs / 50000 mile warranty, and FREE maintenance over that time period. 6. Dealerships, American car dealerships suck compared to the Germans. The experience at a BMW dealer is at another level than any American dealership I've even visited.

[@vernonprice5986]

PLAY_HRD The ATS-V starts at $61k which is easily $2k cheaper than the cheapest M3 or M4. And it has more standard equipment so you don't have to spec it out to $80k just to get basic options like you do with the M cars. And were you not watching the video? He did drive it on a track, and on some windy roads. Not only that, but Cadillac designed it to beat the M3/M4 specifically. So that's what it will do.

[@Juiccy_777]

0-60 in 3.8 seconds wow thats just like the 707 challenger hellcat

[@TotalMCAddict]

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you "Lease" the Cadillac and "Purchase" the BMW. I still remember all the pluses of the Cadillac XLR and yet you'll find no one talking about it today. While the M's including M3, M5, M7 and I assume M4 will still remain the Gold Standard!

[@GoFast865]

This was an advertisement; a proper review of this car would include positives AND negatives regarding driving dynamics. The only negatives here were a couple interior complaints under his breath then it was right back to brown nosing Cadillac.

[@TheAlphalimamike]

In Europe: 1.BMW M4 price approx 74 000 EU , fuel consume 8.8 lt 2.ATS-V price 84 000 EU, fuel consume 11.5 lt 3. Style, design, quality, prestige =BMW M4 wins.

[@mikewazowski3201]

Why was he driving the sedan version??

[@neillee4406]

you do realize that the top speed of the M4 is electronically governed to 155mph, right? you video was literally the automotive review-esque version of a gagging fellatio.

[@calvinchann1996]

I did think it was a bit gushy

[@conrad14201929]

You do realize that even if you pay for the option package on the M4/M3 that removes the limiter you still have a car with a 15mph top speed. Id be happy for the limiter, at least it gives BMW an excuse to be that far behind on top speeds(not to mention straight up acceleration, braking distances, lap times, figure 8 times, avg g's, etc). Just face it, BMW sat around stroking themselves and telling themselves how great they were and in the meantime, everyone passed them up, not just Caddy.

[@ninersforlife7682]

I've always liked the CTS-V but the problem with them now is they have become too expensive not the main reason but one of the the reasons why GM needed a bailout years ago some not all of their cars are just too expensive. If I've heard is right a CTS-V will start at $80,000. Really? You could probably get a charger Hellcat and a base charger for that.

[@vernonprice5986]

Charles Requa The CTS-V is an actual sports car, while the Hellcat is a muscle car that can't take turns. You get what you pay for.

[@capricorneo6645]

With that price, you have to be absolutely deranged to choose an ATS-V over a drop dead gorgeous Lexus RCF, the legendary BMW M4, sexy Audi A5-S, stylish Infiniti G37 and the rich lookin Porsche Cayman, all of which are in the same price range.

[@samplechicken]

G37??

[@troypower4733]

+Bo Al-sharef Obviously you haven't driven it, compared to the German offers it blows them off the road and I own a current model BMW. AS for looks, the ATS is a knock out, time for you to visit the optometrist.

[@UnitedRecording]

Really? Because the ATS-V is simply better. Lol

[@sarcasmtraderable]

BMW's speed is electronically limited to 155. Please do not distort the facts and no, I am not a BMW fan.

[@itmustbelove08]

Regardless of the electronic limitation you pointed out, 189 is still higher than 155. Fact is the BMW is limited to 155 and the ATS-V is not.

[@sarcasmtraderable]

that is not the fact. The fact is to say its limited to 155 and if you pay extra, it can be unlimited for you. The word here is "it's limited" as you mentioned.

[@MrGreenelight]

Old_Barbarism why do you think that is? There are some serious trucks, for instance an SRT truck with a viper V10 in it in which is electronically limited to 110 mph. The reasons being is at higher speeds, a different set of physics/ dynamics come in to play. Its ability to be controlled safely is compromised as speeds rise. We all should be able to understand why the truck needs to be limited, however those same rules of physics for everything. therefore those who figure out how to better overcome those challenges are able to push the limits further and achieve better results. Its called Engineering.

[@vtecnegro85]

Thanks to Opel, Cadillac is excelling!

[@vernonprice5986]

vtecnegro85 Opel? LOL no. The ATS is on the Alpha platform. The only two cars on the Alpha platform are the ATS and the CTS. There are no Opels on the Alpha platform.

[@RastaRider]

"No-Lift Shifting" on the manual. Powershifting without lifting off the throttle? ALLOWED? Weird! I'm sure there's some small print in the warranty manual for this! haha

[@Trades46]

Beautiful car. I actually like this more than the newer C63: sure the AMG is more powerful but it certainly doesn't look that way. Forget BMWs: even the M models today are so far removed from their driver focused roots of yesteryear trying to make a comparison is frankly a joke.

[@steve-wu7jp]

Some of the interior looks great some looks like it came off an early 2000s Chevy Malibu. Still don't think id throw that big money down on this one.

[@johncarr123]

GM needs to stick this engine in the Gen 6 Camaro

[@camaro_kyle6851]

they used the 455hp vette engine

[@NZsarge1]

Agreed about the dials, looks like it belongs in a basic small Toyota, rest of the car is pretty nice though.

[@DrainPipeJoe]

Wow, it's beautiful also! Cadillac has got it's shit together. It flat out smokes everything! So for all you haters you have nothing to stand on with this beautiful artwork. It looks like nothing else out there, the BMW's and Mercedes look the same year after year and going the cheap way when you look at the overall design of those euro thangs that need to catch up to Cadillac because they are falling behind in what the people want.

[@SBha30]

The video editing was driving me crazy, they show a coupe in the intro of the exterior but showed a sedan for the interior. Also, I believe that the German cars are governed at 155 so I don't think it is a true apple/apples comparison. I am impressed by the styling and performance characteristics, but the interior still isn't on par with BMW IMO. GM is going to bet the farm and invest a ton of $ in the Cadillac brand over the next 10 years. They are up against stiff competition and a loyal customer base. I hope they don't drain the rest of GM. Good luck to them.

The only thing that is hideous on this car is the instrument panel and the CUE system. It simply look dated or old. Cadillac, you need to redesign the interior similar to the CT6. CT6 interior is what the Cadillac cars (namely CTS and ATS) interior should look like . XT5 interior is what next Escalade should look like.

[@Zooluu_F10]

they need to change the DASH! PLEASE CHANGE THE DISPLAY CADILLAC! DO IT!

[@armingilani4809]

Front looks awesome but I'm not sure about the back.

[@hectorae86]

Ok.... so FINALLY the US has produced a car they can be proud of.... and I can't buy one here in the Netherlands? ugh, guess I'll just stick to my Fiero.

[@LifeOfAnton]

But will people spend this much on a Cadillac?

[@PaulBrunache]

Now the CTS-V pleaseeeeeeeee

[@Dialysisforever]

I have driven a couple of cars that have auto with paddles. They sucked because they would not let me shift down when I wanted to. The computer limits your shifting in a certain rev range. Is this true with these new autos and dual clutches?

[@RAJohnson713]

No dual clutch?????

[@nickbusato7138]

RAJohnson713 Honestly it does not need it. I cant say that the unit in the M4 really is much if at all better than a ZF8 speed.

[@IsiahHD]

These ZF 8 Speed Transmissions have gotten quite good over the past couple of years.

[@MoogTheOne]

I went from the ZF8 to the M-DCT last month and the difference isn't minor. The ZF8 is amazing no doubt but M-DCT is noticeably better.

[@TerribleWone]

Eric Strickler Both in BMW products? The ZF8 speed in some american cars is programmed horribly for example.

[@MoogTheOne]

M235i to m4. The zf8 is fantastic but if you drive the ZF8 back to back with the M-Dct there is a difference.

[@stefanzdroid]

I might be wrong but that is my view

[@henriquetenebrous]

desgraça de canal quase nao mostra a traseira dos carros no começo do video, fico curioso

[@horatiow2588]

It won't give the maintenance problems that BMWs a re plauged with. However, how do you compare a 3.6 with a 3.0? The 3.6 is understandably the advantage although the rest of the car didn't have to match up. Fortunately this Caddi does.

[@alphatyranax2968]

Seriously, is this really faster than a Corvette Stingray? 3.8 to 60 vs 3.9?

[@stefanzdroid]

oh 16 way adjustble seats don't brag the Mercedes has 24 way.

[@jghanesh]

I like everything but the looks

[@kabob21]

Come on, guy, let's not say specious things like the ATS-V's top speed whoops the BMW M4's. All German cars, MB and BMW included, are speed limited to 155 mph from the factory due to German regulations. Uncorked, they're much faster.

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

This caddy looks dated the older model was better looking, the numbers may be good on the track and performance also but I'm still not sold!

[@FjordTrotter]

5:50 - the reason why I'll just pass this one

[@noobkosh]

Is it a review or and advertisement?

[@manjunathanulaganathan9152]

3.8 is a lie, just watched few other auto channels, they all achieved 4.1 but still an impressive number

[@rbassdo]

Gauges are a deal breaker for me. I don't care about performance numbers if I'm looking at a hideous gauge cluster at all times. Make them digital Cadillac and then I'll consider buying the ATS-V.
