Thanks for watching!

Props to the Caddy press fleet manager. Seeing you put this through some "situations" is what we need!

[@ChummiaChan]

This is my ultimate dream, don't need no Lambos for Tuesdays, no Ferraris for Fridays, this CT5-V Blackwing Manual and the Escalade V is all I need for everyday use and fun.

I've always been more of a German car guy, my whole life I've been in to BMWs, Audis and Porsche's. Always dreamt of owning a 911 or an M or RS car. I've never really been into American cars, until I got to drive a CT5-V Blackwing. I honestly think this might be the best sports sedan ever made, and in my opinion the perfect drivers car. My desire of owning an M5 was crushed, and this is honestly my dream car. The CT5 V Blackwing is everything German sports cars should be but aren't.

You’re the only car reviewer I know who would be willing to do this 😅

[@Chandroth]

I’m pretty sure GM didn’t give this car out to every other journalist to test out in winter. They specifically chose you and for a very good reason.

[@ers1027]

The Cyber Yellow slander had me wheezing.

[@jayjacaty3009]

This is easily among my top 3 favorite Topher videos. May very well be number one, I just need to run back through his extensive catalog and check.

[@fortune392]

I literally said out loud "this man is a MANIAC" when watching this

[@TheSleeds]

What an absolute mad man lmao

[@rainztk]

Salute to everyone who drives in this typa snow/ice year after year . I couldn’t even imagine

[@hellokyle_]

When I drove to the office pre pandemic I remember I drove through a small snow downfall. Maybe 3 inches or so came down during that time. It makes me laugh because I remember going 15-20 mph in my Camaro and this man is redlining it going sideways on turns. Love it.

[@JohnStlouis]

I think this color is nice and way better than a bland white or gray. Considering so many cars out there have barely any colors now it's great GM still has actual colors. Also the 2025 CT5 green is absolutely gorgeous. The control you have is insane, great driving.

[@dizz81]

Dude you're insane. LOVE IT! You made it look so easy lol

[@MaSSaCR3_]

Wow thank you for showing and testing this real world scenario, I was just thinking of this exact scenario for the Blackwing in snow

[@JB-rp6it]

The video I didn’t know I needed.

[@cdgarcia453]

I enjoy your snow driving videos. GM was nice to let you drive it in the snow.

[@JD-vy3wv]

the topher cold open was very enjoyable

[@yankeesaugust]

What a beast of a car

[@Schafe_YT]

Such a great car

[@HiiImChris]

Cant wait for the new 25 blackwing. Interior is finally updated but keeps the charm of the current model
