Props to Cadillac for still offering a manual transmission and making it standard.

[@chartreux1532]

+Resting Fish Face As a German i still don't understand why so many Cars apparently are only offered as Automatik in the USA, while they are still made with Manual over here. Newest 2021 M4 is common to get as Manual here in Germany, same true for the other Models, the only German Company who stops offering Manual starting in 2022 for any Model no matter what is Mercedes-Benz. The other still offer them and will for the upcoming Years. This makes me think the USA just doesn't get Manual Versions, here in Germany they're still common in newly produced Cars, whether it's a Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Porsche etc. In Germany learning to drive with a Manual Stick Shift is still mandatory (you have to learn manual) and at Driving Schools you can choose to learn Automatic, but only as an Addition to learning Manual. So this might be the Reason Manuals are more common and still produced for the German Market Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

Great video!!! I actually like the screen because it's more subtle. I particularly do not like the screen superimposed so the whole world can see the screen from the outside.

[@J_Starr007]

Same turn stalks, window buttons, and switches found in every Chevy, Buick, GMC from the Sonic to the Tahoe, Envision, Terrain, Camaro etc... All shared with every Cadillac. Main reason Cadillac and Lincoln aren't taken seriously... Great Review and beautiful car, not worth how much it costs. 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾

[@christopherprose3881]

Love the color of blue! Very cool. Better than the 10,000 shades of grey that dominate most cars nowadays. This is a nice design and it's great to see manufacturers giving enthusiast something to get excited about other than yet another heavy SUV variant. Like you said, it may be one more swan song ICE for collectors to snap up before the world goes totally EV. The styling of Caddy's is far more distinctive and appealing than Mercedes and BMWs to my mind and I'll never quite understand why they don't sell more cars, unless it's just a brand image thing. Still, all of these vehicles are so far out of reach for most buyers unless they let depreciation kick in and buy one after it's been on the market for a few years and dropped 40k in value. Makes the GR86/BRZ/Miatas a great buy in comparison.

I have a 2016 CTS V-sport and this definitely interests me.

I'll definitely be waiting to grab one of these Blackwings off lease to replace my CTS in a couple years.

Something i should mention based on doug mentioning someone telling him "This is a similar quality to the corvette in taking turns." At the recent Barrett Jackson auction they featured what i believe is the 2023 version of this car on the same closed track as the base 2023 corvette. The driver would often sit there and stay on the ass of the Corvette through the track. This thing has SERIOUS performance.

[@dragorocky]

I love watching Doug switch gears manually. (I don’t know that I can remember seeing that before.) I also love watching him “feel” the speed when everything out the window turns to a blur and his face gets all “child seeing a trampoline for the first time”. This channel goes!
