Follow up —. I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Background — I have a 2023 wave metallic, and I added Xpel Stealth Matte PPF. It looks GREAT… the metallic flakes shine through in the sunlight, and matte finish looks better with the satin bronze rims. Thanks for all who helped lead me to...

Great write-up.. thank you! We have so many write-ups on "vs M5" or "vs 911", this is likely the more practical, realistic, two or three car garage, with one "mule", and one or two super fun toy(s). Question: One of the early review articles (I don't remember which one unfortunately) said...

Spot on!!! I've lived in both Los Angeles and Phoenix (current), and this 100% applies. NO WAY would I have a CT5V-BW in LA, and possibly, not even a CT4VBW -- would likely get an Acura Integra or something of that ilk. There is too much traffic and not enough open roads to truly enjoy the...

I'm in AZ, so don't have this problem, but a few of my friends have a Macan and swear by them. The "poor man's" Macan is the Mazda CX-5 with the turbo engine.

THANK YOU for this info. That really stinks.. I was looking to add one to my garage as well .. was just waiting on a few financial things prior to pulling the trigger. This helps change my decision immensely -- Cayman GT4 it is!

Damn I missed this. Sorry for the repost

The boys at Throttle House did an "extra" on car values, and listed current cars that will retain value in the future, and a few cars that they believe will lose value. Great to see they agree with typical consensus BW's will hold value (at the 09:30 mark in the video). What is interesting is...

Love the purple with bronze combo. The second interior likely matches the exterior a bit more. Either way, this is a win win. LOOKS AMAZING!

Nope, definitely not. This WAS happening around COVID time, but everything is back in order. Change dealerships.

Exactly what rubberduck said. Something seems off. the PS4S tires have amazing traction, especially the OEM ones specifically designed by GM and Michelin for the CT5VBW.

10000000% agree with you. Even worse, it was somehow on constraint when we placed my order in 2022 for a 2023 model, which is nuts.

The part where he’s looking for a Blackwing in England, can’t find one, and additionally, the price to import being so high due to the tariffs is mind boggling. One would think the Europeans would want access to a vehicle like this, but that price is supercar territory.

3 car seats across the back seat? I don't have a 4BW, but my 5BW is packaged as such that the back seats have more space than my previous '16 CTS-V (per my teenage kids, and the eyeball test). The space is perfect. HOWEVER, you bring up a great point -- a well spec'd 4BW and a "beater"...

Man, I'm at 20,100 miles currently. I was feeling content with the idea of keeping this car forever, but every time this thread gets bumped up to the top, it's a reminder that perhaps I should consider myself lucky that I haven't had a single engine issue thus far, and move on to something...

Agree with FLYARMY. Very sound theory.
