    Premium Floormat Question

    Update: It took close to two months, but the mats have finally arrived at the dealer. There may have been an oversight with the order placement, but after several follow-ups with my salesman, the issue has been resolved. Now just need to cross the river and pick them up😊

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Holman Cadillac , NJ. Got my 4BW in December 4k under MSRP. I also negotiated successfully inclusion of all weather floormats and the manager also threw me a bunch of gifts (2 Keychains, pens, cadillac golf balls, Cadillac polo shirt, Cadillac glass bottle, note pad). Overall, had a great...

    New Member - VA. 2022 CT4 BW 21-0013

    @XjonesX welcome to the Caddy fam! I am in love with my 4BW and have no regrets about buying it! I am impressed! By the way, when I first came to the US, some 20 years ago, I thought the El Camino was the coolest car I have ever seen!

    @KatyTxCT5V love it! Did the teddy bear come with the Cadillac shirt?

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Same here... Negotiating is part of the thrill for me, not just with cars but with all significant purchases and services. Interestingly, my wife appreciates this about me so much that she delegates the car buying to me. After all, the "squeaky wheel gets the grease." 😉

    I see a lot of people not liking the sunroof option

    +1 on a more aggressive hood! Some vents would be nice not only for aesthetics but for cooling too.

    Skip shift on CT4v Blackwing

    Same here... 1st to 2nd is tough until the tranny warms up. Shifting at 3k rpms seems to be the sweet spot and makes it easier, though.

    Premium Floormat Question

    Bought a 4BW and the dealer handwrote a promise for all-weather floor mats. They told me the mats need to be ordered and they should arrive in 2 weeks. It’s been a month and a half of silence, and my sales guy has pulled a Houdini on me. With snow in Philly, I’m really missing those mats! I’ve...

    CT4BW's Turning Off - Safety Risk

    Sorry you're going through this. Before going to a lawyer, could you uninstall the AllState plug in and see if the issue is fixed?

    Oil Change at dealer, now smell burnt oil in cabin of 5BW. ** UPDATE **

    @FLYARMY thank you for your service and for sharing such an eye-opening story. It's a powerful reminder of how critical thorough checks are, whether it's in a helicopter or a car. Your experience puts my own encounter with forgotten tools in the engine bay into perspective. Double-checking never...

    Merry Christmas to me

    Welcome to Caddy fam! Excellent choice on that color and those wheels! I love the tech-bronze wheels! It's like bacon making everything more tasteful😉

    Oil Change at dealer, now smell burnt oil in cabin of 5BW. ** UPDATE **

    I couldn't agree more! It's essential to give your car a quick once-over after any maintenance work. I've had my own surprise experience: a technician once left behind a wrench and a towel right in the engine bay. Needless to say, I didn't feel the need to return these unexpected gifts.

    Car won't go into reverse or drive

    Consider them an extra layer of security. While the 'Park' mode in automatics does lock the transmission, it's not infallible. Chocks don't necessarily take the load off the transmission, but they do prevent any potential movement, ensuring the car stays exactly where you left it. It's a small...

    Car won't go into reverse or drive

    If you do, make sure you use wheel chocks instead. Glad this was an easy fix!

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Totally agree with you on that! People totally get thrown off when they hear it's a manual 🤔

    I see a lot of people not liking the sunroof option

    I've had several cars with sunroofs and a few without. I've never encountered any issues like leaks or squeaks, and I've made good use of the sunroof for extra light or ventilation, often preferring it to opening the windows. In cars without one, I've found myself missing the feature. I am also...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Totally agree! My 2004 RX8 was a great platform with stellar transmission, exceptional handling, a distinctive sound, and it was an absolute thrill to push to its limits. Sure, the engine required "attention", but with the right care, it rewarded me well. It was actually the RX8 that introduced...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    The Shelby GT350, with its mesmerizing looks and flat-plane crank engine capable of revving over 8k RPMs, has held my attention since its 2016 debut. It's high revving engine takes me back to my college days, driving an RX8, which offered the joy of pushing a rotary engine to its limits despite...
