2022 Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing Is The Brand At Its Best (But It's $106K).

For years, Cadillac V cars were a curiosity. Hotrod performance from the luxury brand was unexpected fun. But the Cadillac CT5 V-Series Blackwing is another best-in-class performer and it’s lofty performance is no longer an anomaly. It begs the question- Is Cadillac a better performance brand than a luxury marque? How does it compare to the CT4 V Blackwing? Does it compete with Audi RS5, BMW M5, Alfa Romeo Giulia Qudrafoglio, and Mercedes AMG C 63 S? Tom Voelk answers those questions and more. He checks out a well-optioned CT5 V Blackwing in Metallic Rift paint equipped with a 6-speed manual.

Those land yachts were awesome Pimpmobiles, were they not? Also, given enough aftermarket mods, they could tear up the streets as much as the legendary CTS-V, ATS-V, and CTS-V SportWagon. Now if I can only retrofit, as well as massively modify, an old Buick V8, namely, one that would be found in a GSX, to be shoehorned into a Buick Regal or Buick Regal TourX Wagon, or its Opel and Vauxhall counterparts/siblings, along with any other necessary upgrades to such vehicles, then that would be an awesome set of vehicles.

Tom, I love your affinity for the Cadillac brand. As an owner, I too wish GM would let Cadillac be, well, Cadillac. I wish the brand wasn’t sport oriented 100%, as I love the classic Cadillac ride and feel. However, times do change.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Hmmm, I own one and I do like the BWs but I've been a critic of the brand. I find the standard versions of the CTs lacking in style and sophistication. And the XT are at the level that Buick should be, the Cadillacs should be a solid level higher. And not putting Super Cruise in everything was a missed opportunity. I could go on....

[@charleshein4477]

Wow, Tom really set you straight! If I were GM and I read that, I'd stop giving him cars to review. YOU are exactly right, Charlie! There is a reason the Escalade is the only Cadillac that really sells... BIG, comfortable, a statement on the road, smooth ride, big powerful engine, opulent interior... that's what Cadillacs will always be.

[@anthonycbrown1952]

November 2021 'Rory Harvey, vice president of Cadillac, said approximately 1/3 of Cadillac dealerships chose to not get onboard GMs EV plans for the brand and will totally close shop (take an incentive from GM). The automotive industry will look very different in less than a decade. I had the opportunity to drive a Rivian R1T and was shocked that a new brand could be this impressive (design details, fit /finish, NVH management, performance) on their initial product offering. While I did not test the performance, the R1T (7,000 lbs) reaches 60 MPH in 3.0 - 3.5 seconds (faster than the CT5 V Blackwing) and a 60-0 braking effort of 117 ft. As technology advances, we may see full ICE parity (price, range, 'refuel', performance) within the decade.

[@rdollie1]

I saw those numbers and believe more than a few dealers will regret not making the move - but this just means more customers for those that do switch eventually.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Nearly every automotive analyst says Cadillac still has too many dealers, so losing them is probably a good thing.

[@ksorsomeplace]

It's just a shame that this costs so much. Back in the 60's, performance was obtainable. Today, it is only for buyer with serious bank accounts or those who have save up 5 or years in order to manage it. They could sell more and reduce the appeal to the investor by simply charging a reasonable amount. If you're an investor, buy a financial instrument, not a car. The pricing is simply out of line. A case in point: Jeep charged $195 for it's Gorilla glass option into the 22 model, but very recently decided to hike the price to $495! $300 more for a piece of optional glass (keeping in mind you always get a windshield anyway, making this an incremental cost on the part of the manufacturer). What gets me even more is the phenomenal waste of money by GM on the Blackwing V-8 which saw so few applications in such a short time you hardly heard about it and hardly, if ever, see one. You could buy two well-equipped CT5's for the price of this one. Is it really worth an entire additional CT5 for the variance?

[@bloominguez]

I'm afraid that this is what "we" voted for. If you, as a manufacturer, could only produce a limited number of such cars due to fleet fuel economy reasons, I suspect you'd do the same thing GM did and build those few such vehicles in the highest priced configuration you could.
