Car Tech - 2013 Cadillac XTS

[@misterjgl]

Rented this car for a week while on vacation and loved it. Got a lot of stares especially at night with the headlights. Loved the parking asst.

[@VideoNReverse]

HA! "Your not a celebrity, don't be a dick" literally the best thing I have heard you say. Amazing!

[@rajthedev]

This is why we love Brian.

[@elgransr]

Best review ever!!! He goes to the point and it's funny without beeing annoying.

[@blacuraRL]

This guy is so great, I'd give him a raise!

[@zooksmz]

This car seems so nice, would love to have one!

[@daleandsteven]

We have one of these and the voice activation for addresses works quite well for address strings. The only key is that you have to make sure you speak distinctly and separate words (not unnaturally separated, but clearly as if you were dictating the address to another person over a telephone). The way he said "Van Ness" sort of blurred the "N's" together so that is why it didn't work. The XTS is an amazing car with tech that is far above and beyond their competition.

[@Rockybalboa541]

one of the best reviewers out there

[@olegdavidov555]

The best review on KZbin.

[@sidsydney]

Love this Bloke, makes the best reviews in my opinion.

[@AWFJ2014]

And the lady who heard him saying that kept looking back at him LOL

[@ANDRESTARZ90]

I love this car and glad I got one. It gets so many looks since it's pearl white with the dark windows and chrome wheels

[@jamelmoore4356]

Humorous, yet great review. I personally think this is the best sedan GM has ever produced in terms of luxury, but not performance. Real leather and wood everywhere! Perhaps a first for Cadillac. But the CUE system, while intuitive, is rather undefined and can be downright frustrating to use, especially if you're not patient with it. I also wish it had the same level of performance technology found in the new ATS, which is MUCH more fun to drive. But this is a great Cadillac!

[@JDubbs07]

Fyi people, Audi's sedans are FWD-based too (when not equipped with Quattro), and they seem to be doing just fine.

[@mr.highlandpark3137]

lol I love his reviews

[@lancelaw760]

The only comment she got right was “cancel for the love of god.” lmao

[@lowlow643]

Cooley were are you in the Paris motor show reviews ????

[@ltrebl]

@toolfreak77 you mean the re-badged Maxima?

[@positivepost8944]

love his reviews lol all pros and cons! ! he holds nothing back! good job man keep up the good work

[@reddannywambalam]

What clown manages the CNETTV youtube videos? Why is this AWESOME video not in the cartech playlist? Get it together CNET, you have a high quality product being delivered in a brown sack.

[@kejrv300]

Good job sir I like your show a lot ......

[@mak450]

The A6 is FWD based and it gets along fine so why not? Also the Eclass and 5 series both have higher base prices and their volume models have less power, even if it is only by 2hp in the E's case. The XTS isn't supposed to be a German executive sedan alternative anyway, so none of this really matters.

[@AaRoNCcCs]

I Laughed so hard when he said "You gotta get an android phone for that."

[@Nyghthawk302]

Why didn't you guys do the driving portion? :/ I'm curious as to how it rides.

[@nico74321]

i like the interior alot, it's slick

[@vzwflipshot]

i love you brian

[@DriftTaxi]

Lady at the end was checking you out, Brian!

[@pvalone]

was confused with the CUE review on this model. Is the CUE system different on the XTS than on the 2013 ATS? In his review of the 2013 ATS, he said the CUE system is way too slow and performed too poorly to be compared to the cheapest of tablets. He also said in the ATS review the voice command navigation worked great.Yet it seems he's saying almost the exact opposite here...

[@miangel9058]

I wish Cooley would review the iPhone 5... I know he will make it less biased!

[@210772106]

This is a very nice car even if it is a "grandpa" car. Good review Bryan.

[@Pinkpolo85]

Dont be a celebrity your not a DICK.... lol

[@corbelius6]

Keep up the great work !

[@thecarboy95]

Why is there no on the road part as we should be expecting in CNET Car Tech video reviews. It's a car review!

[@omgstevejobs]

Brian needs to review the 2013 Altima 3.5 SL.

[@cbzo6]

How does that tug boat drive?

[@9125species]

You're not a celebrity, don't be a dick! Classic! LoL

[@ChrisCSeversonTUBE]

god damn it if i see the sprint commercial one more time.

[@Jason.W.]

@3:55, tidy cord management, cord jams when screen closes lol

[@ivancedillo8]

Great job cnet

[@stchman]

That cracked me up, Brian Cooley can be hilarious.

[@hkutlu86]

But how does it drive? Or is that not important in the US?

[@timtime88]

this video makes me think that when you buy a CUE, you can option in an XTS.

[@ramis182]

Um...where'd the driving part of car tech go...?

[@mak450]

Yeah but this isn't Caddy's flagship. Mainly it's supposed to retain older DTS customers. And it makes more HP than the last Northstar DTS that was available, torque isn't that far off either.

[@HolyMarioAndLuigiFan]

Caddilac is now euro-competitive. They should bring it to EU

[@GOBbluthagain]

"..don't be a dick.." truth from a wise man

[@doreencameron1comcas]

The FWD doesn't bother me so much. I mean the older cadillac deville concours was FWD too. But they could have at least made a V8 an option. Like the camaro or the 300C. If you're driving a flagship cadillac sedan I dought fuel economy is a priority to you.

[@chrisak49]

LOL I love this guy... "You're not a celebrity don't be a dick"

[@moeses_12]

Really good review !!!

[@shdaly]

Brian Cooley should design cars. Best car reviews on the internet.

[@ranger668]

I would try to avoid all the cars with those touch interface for at least few more years, they are slloow. Or at least for me since I expect the touch tech to be as responsive as my phone.

[@nicholebroussard4071]

My car starts then spotters and dies..I have to pump gas pedal repeatedly but litely for it to stay running

[@MrDare2bdifferent]

Actually it's more BMW 7 series big. It's bigger than all its competitors & about the same size as a 7 series!

[@compufirststore]

Funny that a tech site can't balance the audio volume levels.

[@joshy1024]

I'm guessing celebrities don't watch Cnet, right?

[@pittforr]

I like this guys reviews, but I too am surprised he said.. "Don't be a dick". Gotta love it.

[@kyledesiderio_]

I don't think the nav screen is at an ideal angle, would be better if they made the screen higher and tilted it forward

[@tepeke88]

Why didnt they take Brian to Paris???? :0

[@bg1379]

WHERE ARE THE DRIVING IMPRESSIONS?!!?

[@treyday1982]

Treyday1982 says Caddy should have stretched out the XTS...none the less awesome ride!!!!!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Why doesn't anyone notice this cue system lags like crazy when swiping to the next page etc lol

[@fadi6730]

So this is a Cue system review.

[@jsingh1112]

this is bttr than the 5 Series!!!

[@Jay2DaOz]

"You're not a celebrity don't be a dick" . COOLey.--- best in Cnettv

[@MrBlackMagnus]

Agreed.

[@ChappoIan]

6:03 keep it up with that and you'll be the best reviewer ever :P. hahaha

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

[@ald1972]

Awesome!

[@MrAjayS99]

@ 6:03 - don't be a dick - LMFAO!!

[@adkitchen]

Hah. Finally a car review with an attitude.

[@toasterbread75]

exactly what i was wondering........

[@MiroElConstructor]

hahaha my grandpa gets a new cadi every year

[@fantomtuba]

calm down people, its somewhat of a rebadged lacross.

[@CrazedTeenz]

i like how he says "you'll need an android phone for that" FUCK APPLE

[@MrBlackMagnus]

Another genius comeback by a 12 year old. I guess you wanted to be "first"?

[@tobieazeez]

nice

[@ray1883]

"don't be a dick" lol

[@treyday1982]

Treyday1982 says do a show with cerealmarshmallow

[@fantomtuba]

look it up.

[@rajthedev]

2:30 "cancel for the love of God"

[@elukok]

The interface looks way too slow. Why don't they just mirror some phone screen or tablet screen. That would be s much better.

[@cadillac20005]

they are

[@lowlow643]

This is the 3rd time he uses the word DICK in his reviews LOL

[@criskay3885]

i don't understand why can't they just put a tablet on it ?

[@SweetWife84]

if you want a stripper version of this, wait for the Impala

[@nicholebroussard4071]

When I push button to start it starts to sputter to death

[@bjerz23]

Android zing! Nice

[@MrBlackMagnus]

Wow. You must be the talk of the 8th grade class using words like that huh?

[@GraysonLynch]

[@ltrebl]

Hahaha oh Brian...

[@Vaporswift]

Hahaha don't be a dick that's classic that's Bryan...decided against the platinum trim!

[@dougschueler3938]

my cue works GREAT!

[@doreencameron1comcas]

V6 and frontwheel drive that only gets 304hp at the crank?? Oh yeah that will definately compete with a 5 series or an E class. What the fuck is GM thingking??

[@fantomtuba]

neither do you.

[@ethanhamm428]

[@gotchajesse07]
