$94,000, my first house was cheaper. But my first house didn't do a burnout either. I like it.

How can anyone hate a nice luxury sedan with a 640hp v8 and RWD for under $100k? I love the german offerings but something about these fast Cadillacs are very appealing. Everyone who driven one always raves about them and talk about how well they handle. People really need to give them a chance and try them out.

The engineers present the cars better than the marketing guys. At least to an audience that knows a thing or two about cars.

[@wanderingbufoon]

to a regular person, that engineer isn't making a whole lot of sense.

[@wanderingbufoon]

@@TakeMyMoneyEth did i say im the regular person?

[@MrGaryGG48]

How many "regular persons" do you actually think take the time to watch Jay Leno's car videos. I would suspect he has a pretty well focused group and they're mostly gear-heads. To the "regular persons," the modern car is little more than a "transportation device." The modern car ranks right up there with a really nice refrigerator, or a washing machine with 27 buttons on it that really look cool... well to someone who wants a "really cool" washing machine, that is just special. ;^(

[@MrGaryGG48]

I guess maybe I should have been a bit more discrete with that "fridge-comment!" I think mine may have overheard me Friday night. It died some time in the afternoon and by the time I got home from a "business meeting" everything had thawed out! The service tech won't be here until tomorrow... Tuesday!!! Damn, these new appliances are touchy! The ads keep talking about a "smart this thing" or a "smart that thing..." I'm just not convinced that all that smartness is a very good idea. Maybe I need a dumb old fridge that keeps the steaks frozen and the beer cold. I'm just a simple man; I don't need all that smartness!!

[@johnlloydclayton7192]

Agreed. I love Cadillac, but their marketing is (and has been) their weakest point. The Engineers put out an absolutely stellar product and then the marketing team has no idea what to do with it and nobody knows about it. For example, everybody knows about Tesla's autonomous driving, but ask most people about "Super Cruise" and they say, "huh?"

[@MrHav1k]

Never thought I'd want a Cadillac until.....

[@christoph10517]

I know right?!

[@Spince28]

This was satisfying to watch, they did a great job on the CTS-V

[@amirhernandez5096]

It really was pleasant...no run-arounds or marketing schemes. The car sells itself. Plus when you have someone that truly knows what he/she is talking about, all the better.

[@enigmaPL]

I've said it before, and I'll happily say it again, the Americans are the ones making the good cars these days. Everyone else has fucked off and are making generic appliances, but because the US was always that little bit behind in the automotive segment, they're now building cars in that sweet spot. Let's hope that never changes.

[@enigmaPL]

Stefani Joanne That's not what I said at all.

[@TerryPullen]

+enigmaPL Specially when you consider performance per $.

[@CoffeeAndPaul]

+enigmaPL Hmm, everything has phases. Ten or fifteen years from now GM is going to turn out dogs and we'll all be buying Japanese and European. It'll take them awhile to get their poop together and then the US will build quality stuff again.

[@bobogliddabrun]

[@UnitedRecording]

TheGBANerd I don't care if you have an opinion. it's just a pretty stupid reason. there's no logical reason anyone would take a German car over this.

[@rd4337]

You might take a German car because they are as good and probably better. That is not just my opinion, check most of the comparisons with the E63 AMG or the M5.

[@obinator9065]

UnitedRecording Well, better take a BMW, IT'S BETTER!

[@UnitedRecording]

WTF are you talking about? German cars are way worse! This is common knowledge. They intentionally build it to break.

Cool, Cadillac is back. Now they should bring names too, really looking good cars need really looking good names. "ATS CTS DST CBS ABC WTF SOB" aren't names...

[@Ryukachoo]

+Fillipe356 it's what sells. also it's a way to establish hierarchy within a brand

[@NoLoseJustLearn]

[@Fillipe.356]

+DiscoBrisco most of their cars have "number names", k, cool, I saw what did you tried to do. But it's different to a brand that had names like eldorado, fleetwood, deville...

[@Roderickdl]

For the first 60 years of its existence Cadillac actually used numbers, letters and spelled out numbers. Example, 1911 Cadillac Model 30, 1924 Cadillac Type V-63, 1958 Cadillac Series 62.

Me and my brother just ordered our Cadillacs from Crestview Cadillac in West Covina. I ordered a white CTS-V loaded with carbon fiber package with msrp at 93k and NO MARK UP. I am giving up my 2011 S63 for this bad boy. I am very impressed with the build, platform and interior materials. My brother ordered a ATS-V loaded as well in Silver. He is giving up a 2012 E63 as well. He's been a AMG fanatic for years with this E63 being his 4th. We both decided its time to make the switch to these incredible machines. Our cars should come in around Jan-Feb and I will give my updates on KZbin regarding the switch to an American car. Great coverage on the CTS-V Jay and I am now more eager to get mine!!

[@MrSparks54]

+Reverend Eslam You would be surprised how many of us Americans know the metric system. Hospitals use it almost exclusively. We used it extensively in my job in the Merchant Marine. And my toolbox is full of metric and SAE, but at least nobody has to learn the Whitworth system!

[@RandomGenera7ed]

Americans like to use fraction units like 1/16 inch etc. This was probably just habit

[@sharpstat]

+MrSparks54 Thank you for bringing that point across. Like you I learned the metric system years ago in Paramedic training. Not that difficult. It's always fun to read the bash America comments on here. I guess they forget some of us also have motorcycles and bicycles that use the metric system, and also travel the around world.

OK, I got the chance to spend an entire day driving this, and the ATS-V with Cadillac engineers, Team Racers and pro drivers at their VLab at Circuit of the Americas, (CoTA), in Austin Tx. Now I've followed Cadillac's racing team since its inception. So I've seen what their race cars can do. But to see where their platform begins was eye opening. These cars are FAST! I was over 140 down the straights in each car by the end of the day. Faster groups got well over 150! And I never got tense or worried about what would happen next. And I'm not even an amateur class racer. These things are rock soild, stable as iron, and brakes that never heard of fade. Thank You Cadillac for a Bucket List Day!

[@biffy7]

As the owner of a E60 BMW, I am impressed. It's not for me, but they turned around the company, and built a high end car. There are no real secrets in the automotive industry, so when a company decides to produce a quality line of cars they should be congratulated. And when they decide to produce junk, they should be called out for it. This is a good decision, hope they stick with it.

60 year old Australian here. I think there is a lot of Australian influence in this car, without it I dont think it would exist. Yer see Australia has always been caught between the dual cultural influence of the USA and the UK/Europe exposing us to the best (and worse) of both. In the 60s and early 70s American cars were highly admired in many ways here - style, power, ruggedness.. but so were European cars - for different reasons - effeciency, handling, sophistication, economy. The dual influences led to us developing local cars (Holden (GM) Commodore/ Ford Falcon) that over the years evolved into something unique that combined both.. And what you have there in that type of Cadillac is the end result of where that path led. When the financial crisis and bailout at General Motors happened in 2008 GM, I believe, turned to the then succesful products of its Australian subsidiary, Holden - and took key Australian staff back to the US (including the guy who then headed Cadillac at that time) and went to work on developing US versions. One group influences another group and I think that happened here, the USA is huge and can be inward looking - normally its influence flows outwards and certainly did to Australia, but credit where credit is due. Sadly due to misguided government policy Holden and Ford ceased local production in subsequent years but hopefully a little of the legacy lives here. The Caddy is a beautiful car, and to tell the truth - I think we would love to see some Right Hand Drive versions over here.

Cadillac is about twenty years late to the game that BMW and Mercedes started back in the eighties, but their high performance has caught up to and, in some cases, surpassed the Germans. At the same time though a real Petrolhead will never be able to forget the '59 Cadillac.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

numbers and bang for your buck Cadillac can surpass them but compare the ATS to the C class and 3 series or 4 series if you get the coupe. then i think the C class is better BUT the ATS runs with it and in the V id want the manual

Patrick Pelletier I'm done with KZbin 😂

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Jordan L bang for your buck as i said. If you put the E63 AMG against this around a track they'll run side by side. The difference is the AMG isnt stressed. A lot of people fail to realise that the AMG V8's can make a lot more power than they do. But they are built for abuse on a regular basis. So is the CTS-V but i think its fair to say it wont be as reliable over the months or years

[@MrLantz2011]

This guy is the most knowledgeable guest I can recall

[@carlmanney1160]

I hate when they bring guys in that just try to sell the car the whole time and read off a brochure

[@waffles824]

+Carl Manney They guy helped engineer the car...he is definitely not reading off a brochure

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

+Carl Manney Then it would defeat the purpose of Cadillac showing their "new" vehicles and David being a Chief Engineer I'm sure he isn't reading off of a brochure.

[@audiwankenobi361]

+SidewaysInTraffic thank you for telling Carl to shut up so pleasantly.

Carl Manney if you can't take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

[@2frogg]

I'm in love with this car, tired of BMW and Audis and Mercedes cars.

[@MrRafa305]

hahahha....yeah rigth !

[@SavageSPK]

Except the look MILES better than these ugly ducklings. Sad, NEW BODIES PLEASE!

[@jordanl5064]

Don AlSapone two folks that can't afford the rolls Royce of automobile lol

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

--> " tired of BMW and Audis and Mercedes cars." Yeah... and my dick's tired of fucking supermodels all day.

[@SavageSPK]

MrBrenman21 Fine.. That's the problem. Very ho hum.. I like the car. For the $, ya have to LOVE it..

[@EricTheOld]

Even a pickup/Jeep guy like me can appreciate a good American car. Thanks for sharing Jay!

[@nicmcmonagle8100]

Cant believe this was MY2016 wish I lived in America always wanted a CTS-V. Just a perfect car.

[@gac914]

So Jay, did ya say to him, "yeah, I'll take it. Just leave it here, I'll get my checkbook!!!"

[@jeffk464]

Take on the Germans? I for one would rather have a C63 AMG.

[@Mr_poopypants69]

I would take any European or Japanese luxury car over a Cadillac.

[@sashablfc]

+Jeff K Indeed, I'd like my trim in leather rather than plastic, quiet not creaky/ratly and not falling off after a year.

[@derjoh1986]

until you start servicing these AMG nightmares! No thank you! Get a Cadillac!!

[@OmarsTechWorld]

+sashablfc than you want the Caddy and not the German.

[@1Ministras]

+derjoh1986 Yeah right, and american cars excell in reliability? No

[@forwhomthegametolls2856]

My brother just bought this car (charcoal gray) and we spent the weekend cruising around a bit. He didn't offer to let me drive it so I can't attest to how it truly feels, handles, etc. However, from the passenger's side, there is no denying this car is awesome! The rear end will get away from you if you're not careful, but once you've got it under control, you'll have a lot of fun. The seats are pretty firm but I'm sure are pretty comfortable to those who fit in them. My brother is 40 lbs lighter than me so I can understand why the seat was a bit uncomfortable for me but not for him. The trunk space surprised me to be honest. Jay didn't cover that in this video but there is quite a bit of space back there. My brother got the fully loaded model (without the sunroof) so the rear seats offered a 70/30 recline feature - I'm not sure if they all offer that though. The other thing he didn't mention (or use) was the wireless charging compartment. His phone was plugged into a standard car charger. I'm thinking he didn't even know about it to be honest. He's not a car guy at all, and a funny bit to add about that is that he told me it was a supercharged V6! He paid $70K for it being 2 years old with 10K miles. Now if I can get him to stop playing on his phone while driving, I won't have to worry so much.

[@boofert.washington2499]

I know a guy in Ft. Worth with a white ctsv wagon that pushes 1000hp. It might have more, I haven't talked with him in a while and he's always upgrading. It is insane.

[@adj789]

My first car was a Cadillac Cimarron, anyone remember that dud?

[@deztroyer76]

Looked like a gussied up Chevy Cavalier. What a disaster.

[@clintonflynn815]

+deztroyer76 Actually, it was a gussied up Cavalier.

[@thomascampr]

In rebuked the Cadillac in the name of JESUS.

[@mousearebec]

+adj789 Looked like a dolled up Cavalier. Remember a neighbor had one, and actually looked at it "as" a Cadillac..... it was sad.......ha. My friend Mike had one and I NEVER asked him what kind of car he said he had, when asked.

[@benn454]

+adj789 My condolences.

[@johndoheny8832]

I love the new American minds, not your 80s Seville, also love the Ford GT. Great show I grew up in Haverhill and probably passed you a couple a times on 495, John

[@producerkeshav]

Engineers all day! So great to hear from an Engineer, it makes a real difference

[@sbicknell640849]

I'd love to spend a day with Jay in his garage!! what a collection and he respects all manufacturers and has appreciation for yesteryear!! great job jay!!

[@TuEIite]

R.I.P. GoPro, you served us well.

[@mireSERBIA]

Say goodbye to BMW, Cadillac cracked it! And I never liked American cars before..

[@mireSERBIA]

well there is a few muscle cars that I like but I don't think they attract me that much..

[@Cliffdrop1]

Frank Newberry They might not be worried, but they're definitely not happy. The CTS-V has been impeccably engineered- a 0-60 in 3.4, reaches 200mph! with essentially the same engine as a ZR1, yet is a luxury sedan that goes toe to toe with the M5! Pretty apparent Cadillac figured it out 😃

[@DolleHengst]

The performance and handling are most impressive, arguably best in industry. But why is it that every Cadillac has some serious flaw? Like the interior quality, or a crappy multimedia system? Or the lack of several luxury features compared to the Germans. A Mercedes E63 AMG S isn't as sharp or fast as this Caddy. But it doesn't fall short in anything. It does everything at a very high level. Same with BMW. Can't say that about Cadillac. If you want speed and sheer thrills, buy the Caddy. If you want speed, thrills combined with luxury and refinement, buy the Benz AMG

[@sebastiancabot3378]

I love the way Cadillac does the details, brakes, carbon, engine made for the machine. This is a great American race car. I know it's a 2016, but if you find one buy it!

[@christifoote8351]

Loving my 2019 CTS-V, just traded in my 2012 CTS-V on it, which I also loved....I traded in my 2008 CTS for that one. I am, however, very heartbroken that Cadillac will not be making the CTS-V any longer, but so glad we got one from the last year. Cadillac, this is an amazing car....I don't know what you are thinking!!!

[@kdots.2]

yeah i got a 18 grey metallic edition, traded in my camaro ss with bolt ons... this is the best car ive ever been in and ive been in royces and bentleys ...they just didnt sell unfortuantely, but they will definitely be future classics ... i bought one as soon as i saw that the next gen was getting the lt4 and not the black wing v8, and ct5 will have even less power (630hp)

[@mikhailpugliano9610]

IT'S A CADILLAC! WAAAAAAHHHHHH

[@byates59]

Yes, we can definitely take on the Germans!

[@BullrockMcHammergeil]

not quite

[@martinw3265]

Yea but using German ZF steering and Italian Brembo brakes and who knows what more is cheating. Anyways it's good I also want to see M cars with so much carbon.

[@BullrockMcHammergeil]

Martin W The Cadillac is only like 65% american built. All the stuff that really matters comes from Europe or Asia.

[@henrykincaid6821]

As much as i like caddys, the interior always leaves a lot to be desired

[@derjoh1986]

+BullrockMcHammergeil Most definitely!!

[@guitarsword1]

That was the best burnout ever done on this show. Congrats Caddy!

[@carriagehousecarpentrydesi6664]

Cadillac has always been the cornerstone of great American automobile engineering. Had a hiccup with the alante conv. but even it with a little more attention could have been a really great car.

[@BridgeGuitar]

Love it! I’d take this over a BMW or Mercedes any time! Way to go Cadillac!

[@sniper2606]

Jays scream is just awful

[@Frandaman84]

Yeah but it's those corny things that give this show personality over say motor week.

[@jivert1258]

He is old man

[@TexasTycoon2013]

+Frandaman84 Yeah, but when he's just imitating Top Gear UK, it's just annoying and adds nothing to the show..

[@brandonvirelas1894]

[@DJRoastPrince]

His bank account is lovely though.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Cadillac out performing the Europeans is an all around win.None of the drivetrain garbage every time you turn around,or the key either.It looks pretty good too.

[@canyonjames8519]

70 grand for the v6 wow! These cars are getting to the point where no one can afford them!

[@patrickpelletier6315]

they are expensive sure but they are attainable. nowadays it forces you to save up or to finance one but try and avoid financing something like that

[@canyonjames8519]

wish I knew how harsh financing was before I got my 2012 gt500. it's paid off now but it was tough. It got to the point where I wanted to git rid of it. It's a hobby for the rich.

[@Bimmerboyyyyyy]

+Patrick Pelletier a wagon? fuckouta here smh

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Daniel De La Rosa yea a fucking wagon. If you pulled up to the lights and there was a 2 door CTS-V you'd notice it and realise its a fast car. The wagon, you'd probably overlook the car even though its as fast as the 2 door. So if i were you id be quiet. A wagon doesnt attract as much attention (aka sleeper) and in most cases it's not that much slower than the 2 door variants. I guess you just think having a impractical 2 door sports car you can only drive on occasions is more fun than the practical wagon variant you can always drive

[@Bimmerboyyyyyy]

+Patrick Pelletier I drive a 03 cadi CTS i love that car but common man a wagon like common man😂
