    Same boat as you. Been in contact and waiting since January 10th.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Finally, weather suitable enough for even a grocery run. This car is so cool that even the wheel centers align when it is parked.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Similar to others on here, there was telematics data with braking and/or acceleration numbers every single time that my car moved. Either I am a raging driver in denial on my 13 minute commute or the data acquisition criteria is set by that person that I get stuck behind in the mornings...

    Park Assist - No beeps nor bum?

    Hello All. What is everyone experiencing as normal behavior for Park Assist warnings? In my case, there is a single beep or vibrate (depending on setting) for each threshold distance passed. Nothing more. The entire front graphic will be painted yellow/orange/red and there will be no...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Hello jrhammer and fellow Pittsburgh’er(?) Interesting that I had a slightly different experience. I visited each of the dealers that you mentioned, in person during May of 2023. Cochran would not put be on a list. Flat out. Salesman’s name was Smail, yet he worked at Cochran (maybe he was...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    Thanks for the clarity, yet I can't seem to find that fact in print. (I seriously intend this response in the nicest way.) Reading through this entire post, poor-sha's post #140 is the closest that I can find (to fact), which states just inside the seem, not on it. Does anyone have definitive...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    Thank you for this post. Seriously helped me settle on a way to lift my 5BW. Instead of rubber blocks, I used some 2x4 that ways poplar (soft enough to confirm a little). Here are some photos...

    Those who owned a CTS-V and/or SS and now Own a CT5-V BW- Comparisons

    My SS had 21k miles on it. Never needed anything, so parts weren’t an issue. On the other hand, I started having issues getting parts for the GTO, like brakes, rotors, tie rods, etc, until the G8 came out. Yet, my insurance kept going up due to cost-to-repair (meaning, the body parts were...

    Those who owned a CTS-V and/or SS and now Own a CT5-V BW- Comparisons

    Thank you for reviving this thread. I seemed to have followed a path similar to a lot of folks on here. '05 GTO => '10 CTS-V => '17 SS => '23 5BW (all MT's) First, the GTO: Blue on Blue. By far, the most comfortable rear seats. Drove that car for 100k miles. Only issue were the rear tires...

    CT5-V Is this how every console is?

    Yepper. That was my first attempt. The clip where the X is in the photo just wouldn’t hold. I had to space clip down slightly to relieve the tension. That is where the toothpick came in. Inserted it into the nose of the metal clip, which prevented the clip from seating 100%. It was just...

    CT5-V Is this how every console is?

    Hello Everyone. Does your console look like this? My did. And, so does the new 2023 at Smail Cadillac. What are the odds that they were poorly cobbled together in the exact same way(?) Nonetheless, the section with the purple arrow snapped together with little effort. For the red arrow...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    Looks like Sewel is getting one. It is listed on here Cadillac.com. (IMHO the color combo on it is the BEST)

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Hello Everyone. Maybe this is the one that I picked up this weekend (?) Matched everything on my order except the gray seats. (just can’t wait any more) Here is the story: Messaged Bayway when it showed up on Cadillac.com. Worked with Rudy. We started at +$10k. I asked if letting them do...

    Hello from Pittsburgh

    Hello Everyone. Dale here. Telephony, network, automation guy from Pittsburgh. Hoping to pick up a 5BW today. 2023 Blue/Bronze. Sold my 17 SS in April and have been waiting in line. In the meantime, one very similar came in and the dealer will do msrp. A little history… Car guy and...

    CT5-V My new car has arrived. And a lament about the paint...

    Maybe it could be worse? Brother-in-law txt’d me this morning regarding a black 2024 CT5 BW that showed up at the dealer. It has no paint at all on the bottom of the doors. They are going to paint all four doors :O One can safely assume that I’ll be getting out the mirror and creeper...
