No need to buy an extra set of rims: Post in thread 'Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing' Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

Even worse: those terrible CUE haptic slider buttons, or whatever the hell they were supposed to be. Still, would prefer that to nothing - or to be precise, nothing besides the steering wheel buttons.

I own a manual. It’s my second one, in fact. A ‘24, having owned a ‘22 before that. And before that I owned an auto V Wagon. But what the heck does what I drive have to do with this anyway? The OP wants to know the pros and cons of ‘24s versus ‘25s. And my point, for him, is that the dummies at...

Sure, but what about your front seat passenger? “I’ll be fine but here, put on this hair shirt before we go on a journey in my $100k luxury sports sedan.”

To get back on topic, unless there is an easily accessible volume control function available on the new touchscreen itself, the lack of a physical volume knob alone would be a dealbreaker for me if I was currently choosing between a pre- and post-refresh CT5 BW: Order bank open date 2025 CT5V...

… and as for the infotainment screen, I like the 25 a little more but frankly both the 24 and 25 will be considered equally archaic down the road. Here’s “cutting edge” GM 1980s, for example. Ultimately it’s the drivetrain and chassis that will qualify this car as a classic. Genesis does better...

Newer doesn’t mean better. Glad I have a ‘24, but I suppose in the end it’s a matter of taste.

Agree 100%. Having owned a 22 with the base seats, though, I should add that they are nearly as comfortable. Not quite, but nearly, and with the same heating, cooling, and massage features. Also, while there is no comparison in the looks department, the CF backed seats in my 24 did come at a...

While I put winter tires on my Blackwing (as I have lectured all of you rather tirelessly, sorry), I should add that I do it mainly so I can drive it safely on cold, dry winter days, which are the norm in Toronto most days, most winters. For example, last night when I had to pick a car to drive...

If you go easy on the throttle the kind of car you are driving is irrelevant to the traction of the tire. Completely, totally, utterly irrelevant. Sounds like the Pirelli’s just weren’t very good winter tires. In fact I think that’s what you’re saying. Possibly, but less likely, your Camaro also...

Respectfully, that may be somewhat true when it comes to all seasons, but it is completely and utterly incorrect in respect of winter tires. Those conditions are precisely what winter tires are designed for, and the reason people buy them for their cars, whether they drive Tercels or 911s.

You didn’t sign one of these? This was for my 24. I signed something similar when I bought the 22.

My thoughts exactly. I’m on my second season running winter tires on the stock rims but the rant makes me reluctant to help. Frankly, also, running all seasons in the winters doesn’t make sense anyway. All weather, sure, if you can find ‘em (you can’t), but if you want to drive safely in cold...

I think the adjustment is partly to align the price a little more closely with the exchange rate. My guess is that even with the increase, a new Blackwing still costs significantly less here than in the US after converting our Canadian dollar prices to US dollars. Hence they will probably...

It had one on the dash. The 25 manual has no knob at all, is the point. Which is shite for $100k sports sedan, frankly.

Looks like Santa’s getting you something extra special: a CT4.5 BW

I totally judge people by what car they drive…. Tesla grrrr. Range Rover ee-yuck!

That didn’t last long…
