    Manual transmission take rate

    Very early on, I did look at some sales data and you are correct, dealers ordered A10 and customers ordered 6M. I didn't look at colors but I have to agree and that covers all stock! Dealers seem afraid to order anything other than black, white and some grey.

    FINALLY!! Got some all-seasons that work for my 5BW...

    Been running those tires in the winter since Tire Rack set me up in fall of 2022. The 20" rims are an issue, I have replaced two front tires damaged by pothole. Tires are ok but I really wish I had 19"s!

    You need to change your thought process with the Blackwing. See how low you can go! That's the fun of this car. :)

    GM to Remove CarPlay from All Future Vehicles, Including Gas Cars

    Who knows! Looking at a bunch of possibilities. The new Audi SQ5, BMW X3 M50 (ugly but great seats) and the new M-B E-Series sedan. Having back issues and may not be able to drive the manual much so looking for something that is REAL comfortable on the back. But am in no big hurry.

    GM to Remove CarPlay from All Future Vehicles, Including Gas Cars

    I was actually thinking about an Optiq-V as a third car but no Apple Carplay is a deal breaker. If Cadillac thinks their OS is worth $20-$40 per month, then provide consumers both and see if they think it is worth it. I suspect they know the answer which is why they are removing Carplay support...

    Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

    Ok, just my opinion which isn't worth much. I like the green / brown (do love the interior) but the green is too close to what has been available. Not paying this kind of money for something that doesn't look "custom". So I am going with the purple build. Also , so jealous! This must have been...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

    The sales guy I work with at Lockhart didn't have much information beyond what is in that video, which isn't much. I suspect they would put you in touch with your "concierge" and then you choke on all the prices (like a Porsche per peej!)

    Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

    Lockhart Cadillac in Indianapolis has an allocation for one of these. There will be an ADM :mad:. I thought about it and it would be cool BUT just couldn't justify the cost given that it is pretty much like mine (2022) only with a custom paint job. But if you have some extra cash......

    Cadillac F1 entry

    The FIA Super License points system is very bias toward European series making it very difficult for a US based driver to accumulate enough points. The other F1 teams have "Academy" drivers they support in lower series which allows them to evaluate talent and allow the driver to accumulate the...

    Cadillac F1 entry

    First, I love the driver pairing. Bottas was highly sought after by Mercedes to be their development driver this year and has a lot of SIM and TPC time. Perez hasn't stayed as involved but will be a big sponsor draw for the team. But I fear that it will be a long year. With the new regulations...
