Hey, thanks for plugging my French Fry Emporium

[@deanmcmanis9398]

I actually like just hearing you guys talk about cars sometimes. Going back and forth. It is great that you both have a chance to evaluate so many of the competing models that it gives you a strong base for comparison. I think that it is naturally going to be a tough position for automakers to have their "Jr." performance models. Because they always need to have enough of a performance benefit with their top model to lure buyers to pay the extra money, but they need to still make the lessor models look appealing for those that like the car, but don't want to spend that much. I do wonder how the Camaro 1LE would be with this upgraded 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission. Of course that is the dilemma of the Camaro and CT4, because other than having more back seat room and the Magnetic ride control, the $31K (U.S.) Camaro 1LE is simply a much better performance value. And the Camaro can be had in convertible form as well.

[@khronin]

I looked at a Camaro SS when I was car shopping a year ago.I had a 50k budget.I ended up with a 2020 AWD Kia Stinger 3.3TT--and could not be happier.I even went to the drag strip last november and was running faster 1/4 mile times then 85% of the american muscle cars--My 12.7 in the quarter also blew all the 4 cylinder cars away.The fastest 4 cylinder there--raced me--a 500 HP WRX and I beat that--the video is online. The AWD adds so much performance to a car--i will prob spring for AWD from now on. BTW my Stinger was 36k after rebates and after my trade--I paid 19k out the door--so I was way under budget and have 30k already in the bank for my net car--which in theory the cadilliac CT5-V could be considered--but it would have to have 400 plus HP and do 6o in 4 or under and the quarter in low 12s.In 2025 when I might be looking again--there will be many awsome cars--from the new stinger--to the TT6 400 HP plus acura tlx type s--to hopefully a more powerful AWD caddy cts5-V.Some folks like me do not want 20k in electronics and exotic leather--all that stuff deprciates in the first year--i just had my trade in value of my car--34,700--so at 1 year old I lost a little over 1k in deprciation--which is almost unheard of.My car stickered for 43k--and at 36k was a steal.Bought at height of covid so they were willing to do anything to get a sale--they also gave me the 10 year warranty on the whole car.I only have 5k on my car--i put only 5 to 6k yearly--so my cars tend to be at the high end for trade ins--and I maintain them at the dealer.

[@j.a.vzlaib1170]

Basically this car with a manual transmission would be a 9 out of 10

[@KCMrecordings]

I have the ATS 2.0T with a manual and a few mods making the power almost identical, and I can say YES. I also like the interior of the ATS over this in certain colors. This thing with some few mods, and high performance summer tires would be nothing but smiles, and keep up with bonafide sports cars in the canyons.

[@jordanlouie9439]

give it an lt1 engine and the interior from the ct5 and its a 10

[@KCMrecordings]

@@jordanlouie9439 That's not how cars work. "lemme just change the entire care, and it would be a 10/10!"

[@jordanlouie9439]

@@KCMrecordings it is how cars work actually. The ct4 is the same platform as the Camaro SS and the engine would fit. The interior is a no brainer and it was just some sloppy cost-cutting on gm’s part, in the price point it should have been at the ct5v’s level. Obviously I cant change those things myself as a consumer. but if GM had decided to build this car like that it would sell far more. the CT4v and blackwing will probably flop and be cancelled within the year.

[@KCMrecordings]

@@jordanlouie9439 I mean that I don't think you understand how cars work as a product/business. You don't just change major parts like that with out price audience, and production number differences. I have no doubt the blackwings will sell well.

Cadillac CT4-V: the ultimate second hand car.

[@2S7PION]

I love this format, so honest and raw

[@Roderickdl]

Cadillac is putting the car in this segment based on price. And having similar rear seat leg room. Not on segment size. The tweener strategy it used with success with the prior 1 and 2nd gen CTS. Which is why it went back to it with the CT5. The 3rd gen CTS sales cratered after it was priced like it's other midsize competitors.

[@amanasd26]

Except the G70 is a better car with more power at this price. This car's pricing is out to lunch

[@Tony_Sab]

This was no doubt a top quality video

[@doublehh666]

[@brettmoffett]

I had a 2.0L turbo ATS with a 6spd manual, Brembos and a LSD. I put 200,000 trouble free enjoyable Kms on it and very much enjoyed my experience. If this had a manual trans I would be on it...but for the price since it’s almost impossible to get a manual trans in this class of car I bought a demo 2020 Stinger GT Limited for $45k. I have to say I’m enjoying the Stinger so far but perhaps a 2nd hand CT4 black wing with a stick will be my next car...

[@ajaychoudhary9817]

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

Can you review an Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0 T? Would be very interesting for comparison.

[@astronmr20]

That would be great. Also I want to buy one and am wondering their take in it.

[@lotsofcurveslover]

I have 3,000 miles on my 2021 Ti Sport Awd with adaptive suspension. The suspension on crappy roads is the best I’ve had but I’ve never had a Caddy with the magnetic suspension. I just did some Dragy runs today and my best one was 5.3 sec 0-60. Getting 26 mpg and I drive in Dynamic 100% of the time. I’ve gotten 30 mpg on the highway. The only change I’d like is 245/35 tires instead of the skinny 225/40’s. All in all, I’m extremely impressed with the dynamic performance and the comfort. The steering and brakes are awesome. Love the seats too.

[@joelpeterson2074]

YES! I really want to hear their thoughts on the Guilia. This car, the Guilia and the Genesis G70 keep coming up on my shortlist.

[@sunnyvalentino]

@@lotsofcurveslover may I ask how much it cost? I heard alfa has decent deals

[@lotsofcurveslover]

@@sunnyvalentino the MSRP was $51k. It has the panoramic sunroof, adaptive suspension, and phone charging pad. I’m leasing it through my employer so I didn’t have to put any money down. Alfa does have some very good lease rates now and I heard that they’re starting a new certified pre-owned program. They depreciate pretty fast so you could get a 2017 for $25-30k but it may be out of warranty which is risky.

[@itsavlife]

[@quezp3608]

Look, I know the interior isn't world class but it's certainly class competitive. Coming from an 2018 Audi A4Q S-Line, I am perfectly content with the interior of this car in regards to quality and functionality and much happier with the way it drives.

[@revaholic]

That is interesting and telling of how far behind Audi has fallen in terms of enthusiast machines...they seem very solidly built but everyone seems to say they are boring now

[@DJMontePGH]

Hey. Where did the CT5-V Blackwing video go?! I can't find it anywhere. Was it taken down?

[@chrisak49]

I’m glad you guys called Cadillac out for trying to say this is a S3/CLA competitor. This is definitely a 3 series/C-class/A4 competitor and Cadillac is trying to go down a class in order to make the produce look better because they cheaped out on a lot of the interior.

You said the Cadillac CT4-V is the perfect size. How is the BMW M235 Gran Coupe (which is 10 inches shorter) perfect in every way?

[@oldcrook510]

I've seen these loaded with super cruise 2 pushing 70k it's just not worth it & I LIKE the car. If it was 55-60k with super cruise loaded I'd get it. The interior quality does not justify the pricing & it's a shame I like the performance. Leave it to GM to not give a damn anymore about Caddy sedans as they put all their resources into giant SUV's that get 12 mpg.
