Still an amazing looking car here in 2023 & I still prefer it over the current CT5.

Shit son, you had me with the cup holder.

Until now, I didn't view the Cadillac as high quality luxury. The older models before the 2014 CTS aesthetically never caught my attention on the exterior, but the interior always had its unique finesse. In terms of the older models, the Cadillac CTS always felt like there was room for improvement. 
This model though, is fucking beautiful. I was never a Cadillac fan, but that horsepower and those ravishing aesthetics entirely changed my perspective on this American automotive maker. I really, really, want one

I love the classic styling and lines this car has, hopefully Cadillac continues making more cars like this, truly beautiful.

Just took a ride in the 3.6 v6 twin turbo and WOW does this thing blow me away! The magnetic ride suspension is absolutely amazing in the corners. Never would I have expected this level of amazing ride quality, and this is from a guy who owns 2 BMW 335i’s. 😦

have a 14 V Sport still and still one the best driving and quickest sedans around...

Best Cadillac since the CTS-V! Cadillac is on a roll! I totally want one of these! Finally! A true American luxury sedan worthy of being mentioned in the same context as Mercedes, BMW and Audi!

The test drive went well today. Stellar. My experiences with BMW paled in comparison to this car. My 911 blew it's Intermediate Shaft at 14k miles. It did not take much for me to decide on this CTS. Going w/3.6 of course.

It sounds so so good!! Love the new look!!

I saw this car in black the other day and it is BEAUTIFUL. Really shines a light on the American automotive industry.

I don't understand how BMW is still mentioned as competitive in this segment. The previous 5 series was ok, the current one is trash. It's remarkable how far they have dropped from the E39, and e46 for that matter.

I currently own (and will never sell, for that matter) an e46 m3, so of course, I had a look around when searching for my Cadillac CTS. Any comments saying it is at all sub-par to the german brands is just an issue with preconceived notions of what the cars are. The old BMW's were great. The new ones, unfortunately, are not so good. Cadillac, on the other hand, has really turned it around to make some great automobiles.

This guy does an amazing job at reviewing this vehicle.  I wish I had 60K to drop on this diamond!

... which proves cadillac is trying to capture a younger market. this redesign is awesome. and now they have a twin-turbo v6... who wouldn't want this car?

Black leather + the dark wood in the shade = perfection.

[archieflys]

Man I love the CTS! By the way they did pay back their loans. All hail the Big Three! Awesome American cars are

[drbpolk]

Cadillac has really stepped up their game. The VSport trim without the premium package is a real bargain, considering the performance and features that come standard for just under $60K.

The old school Caddy wreath-and-crest for the GM depreciation to come so I can get one

"Luxuriousness has never been a problem with Caddys. QUALITY and FIT AND FINISH have. They are really improving though.

What the crap is this? The rear leg room is 35.4 inches and that is more than the BMW 5 series and just about the same as the rest of the class.

[MadDogMeh]

The lights are stunning. I don't usually like American cars, but WOW!
