    Carbon fiber seat backs

    Only one steering wheel, your only option is suede or not. As far as seats, if you want to see the differences, go to the eBrochure and you can cycle between the different options. It's not perfect, because they're renderings of pre-production interiors. But I think it gives you a fairly good...

    CT5-V Interior help

    Except, the configurator is currently only out for the MY21 models, right? Probably minor differences, but I'd imagine there are some guys in legal who have issues with adding details before they've actually tooled up to build the car.

    Carbon fiber seat backs

    You may want to tag your questions with the CT-4 or CT-5 buttons, because I think there are some significant differences in standard interior vs. options... Like, I believe only the 4 has 2 steering wheel options. Don't see the point of the CF seatbacks and I actually prefer the mid-grade seats...

    Pana roof

    I live in the desert Southwest, so 100% tint + that felt shade thingy still wouldn't come close to the same level of heat rejection as a layer of steel, plus insulation, plus headliner. I'd prefer a traditional metal 'sunroof' as opposed to the glass 'moonroof' everyone offers today. Having...

    New Bronze Finish Wheels Available for the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing

    Really wish they were offering one of those styles in a more traditional color. (shiny Al or whatever)

    Pana roof

    I'd much rather have a metal sunroof so there's no additional solar cost when it's closed, but no one does that anymore. However, if you want to run with the windows open, cracking the sunroof causes a slight air draw in the cabin. That slight draw breaks the tie between air ingress and the...

    2022 Blackwing Model Year is Not Sold Out

    I just emailed my local dealer and got this reply: Unfortunately the CT5 factory is closed for new orders at this moment and won't be taking new orders until around may. If you would like to build one out and send over your build, we can hold onto it until then. At that time would would ask for...

    CT5V Blackwing Options for resale value

    I'm so confused- can I go place an order now?!?

    CT5V Blackwing Options for resale value

    I'm keeping the wife, and probably the BW if I can get one... But I'm putting as many miles on both as I can. She's not as devout as I am, but at least we're the same religion, and they say that helps. We go to the auto show now and again; and I recall my wife being very irritated by the guy at...

    CT5V Blackwing Options for resale value

    If you're picking options for resale you're doing it wrong. <Insert joke about your girlfriend's resale value> Except the manual- if your only reason for buying a manual is resale, buy the manual. The resale will be higher, and you should care about that. Otherwise, buy the manual. Also...

    ADM Additional Dealer Markup

    No- I was under the impression that the waitlist was for people who wanted the special ones... I just want a normal car I can drive, not a numbered special edition, so I skipped it. I'm going to be annoyed if I can't get one because I didn't sign up for the waitlist.

    ADM Additional Dealer Markup

    So, can I now go down to a dealer and place an order for a non-250 car?!? Not that it's guaranteed to be built or whatever, of course.

    Cadillac is Too Scared to Play with M & AMG

    Except engines generally don't define vehicle vehicle classes/comparisons- overall size and function does. Whether a combination of 'shadow' and weight like Europe, or strictly interior volume per the EPA; this is how vehicle classes are built. Commercially, I suppose price point factors in as...

    Questions Regarding the Blackwing Reservation System and Allocation

    Oh? do tell. I don't follow the Camaros. I want to, but they're so unlivable as a daily driver. GM has gotten so good at chassis, engines, and suspensions- but why they don't expand that into some adjacent space and take over market share is beyond me. Can you imagine and Alpha-based Impala? Or...

    Questions Regarding the Blackwing Reservation System and Allocation

    I have a 2015 and, since I missed the order window by like a day, I was forced to buy from inbound inventory. Every dealer in town ordered one of two configurations: Manual with no options or the loaded golf cart. Most were the 2-pedal golf carts. Very few of the manuals made it to the showroom...

    Questions Regarding the Blackwing Reservation System and Allocation

    Inventory managers appear to be the lowest form of human life: non-car people, making car decisions for everyone... OK, that's probably not completely fair, but having seen it play out, I can't help myself. Part of me was at the point of tears watching what they did to the Chevy SS. But also...

    ADM Additional Dealer Markup

    Not looking to dog anyone (unless the experience was exceptionally egregious... maybe) so not suggesting negative postings, but I'll throw out there that if you've had a positive experience, it might not hurt to name them. If any of them are listening in, that'd let them know that when round 2...

    Who here will be getting the carbon fiber packages?

    If I am able to order one, I won't be getting any additional aero- I'm kinda leaning toward de-badging and trying to hide in plain sight as much as possible. Not as easy as with my current generic GM sedan with an LS3 quietly rumbling under the hood, but I'd like to be able to blip the...
