    Fuel Economy

    I know the chip shortage has been having an impact on fuel economy for some other cars and trucks, I wonder if that has something to do with it. In any case, looks like the 4 is definitely in range of the gas guzzler tax...

    2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing Order Guide

    A dedicated winter tire will always be better than an all season tire--as will dedicated summer tires. There are performance winter tires that provide better handling in cold wet and dry conditions at the expense of some snow and ice traction, and they can be a happy medium for performance cars...

    Non-black Black-wing?

    Yeah, I'm really disappointed, the Cadillac rep at the dealership with the 4 said the black wing would not be on the production car. I touched it and it feels like cheap plastic trash, and looks worse--it's basically the piano black plastic trim that everyone hates, but bolted onto the back of...

    Non-black Black-wing?

    So the blue 4 I saw had a black wing, but the rep claimed the production models will have body-colored wings by default. I think the black was just a cheap way to make it look like carbon fiber from a distance on the preproduction cars.

    Blackwing preview

    Weird, they explicitly told me that I was not allowed to sit in the 4 that was on display. I was pretty disappointed about it.

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    Here's my build. Just saw the pre-production car today, can't wait for the real thing to arrive...

    Blackwing preview

    The CT4-V Blackwing was on display at Herb Chambers Cadillac in Lynnfield today. The Cadillac rep was surprised it was a 4, apparently this was the first time she's actually seen it in person (again, Cadillac seems super on top of this rollout...)

    Blackwing Production Turn-Around

    Do we have any idea at this point what the turnaround time will be from start of production to actual delivery? It sounds like they're going to set aside regular CT4 and CT5 production to focus on the Blackwings, so I'd imagine they'll roll off the line relatively quickly. I've only ordered...

    Opinion about ceramic coating?

    Engineering Explained actually did a pretty good video on ceramic coatings and paint protection films a while back. Worth checking out if you're not super familiar with the process. Still, the whole thing sounds like it's going to be a bit more expensive than I thought...

    Opinion about ceramic coating?

    I'm still trying to figure out how we started at $1,500ish for dealer installation, upped that to $2,500ish for a better product installed by a professional who specializes in the stuff... and then somehow got up to $8k to $10k?? I've gone the dealer route before and paid $1k or so a number of...

    CT4-V Great look at the CT4-V BW

    Just saw this on GM Authority this morning as well. Mine's going to be shiny wheels, red calipers, and no carbon fiber, but still a great preview. I think I made the right call on the Shadow Metallic. My 340 was Mineral Grey with Coral Red interior and I always thought it was damn sexy. I wish...
