So $6,000 CDN more for an identically optioned car not including luxury and sales tax. Interestingly, it looks like the options are all the same price as before and that only the base price went up.

I’m not seeing 2025 Blackwings on the Cadillac.ca site yet. Maybe I’m linking with a cached version? Please send the link you’re using as I’m curious to see how much more my car would have cost as a ‘25.

Can you do one in radiant red? :)

Alternatively, you can call them and find out when they expect to release new dates, which is something they do from time to time, and how I booked my upcoming visit in March. What you do is give them your email address, after which they will eventually give you advance notice of the morning...

… which is another thing I forgot to mention when I compared the S550 Mustang I traded in for my Blackwing. Oh, and here’s yet another (kind of): adaptive cruise control was available for manual S550 Mustangs, and I believe you can get it on the new S650s, as well. I say kind of because for some...

Had one of them, an auto. Would have kept it if it were a manual. Great utility, great performance, but overall not as great a car as my Blackwing.

Canada here, and instead of telling all you Yanks that you’re all crazy, left right, and centre (yes, that’s how you’re supposed to spell it) pissing on each other about shit that every other wealthy, civilized country on this planet settled 50 years ago or more, I’ll post a picture of the...

I did the same thing when the opportunity to do so arose. Base black to radiant red, base interior to carbon-backed tan, and sun roof to slick top were the main changes. Considered waiting for the ‘25 because the interior design of the pre-refresh dash and infotainment screen is, somehow...

Forgot a couple of Clear Advantage Bullitt items: - quiet start that truly quiet started the car at specific times - default to rev match or not at startup could be set to your preference - you could start the car with just the clutch depressed (it’s dumb and potentially dangerous for one to...

If you look at the specific wording of what everyone here keeps calling "insurance", what is being offered by Spring Mountain isn't insurance at all, whether at the minimum amount or higher. At best - and the wording isn't even that great for us in this regard - it's actually just a waiver by...

With all the talk here about Mustangs and Blackwings, maybe I should chime in as I owned a 2020 Bullitt before I bought my first CT5 V Blackwing. Here’s my (very subjective) input based on my experience: Clear Advantage Blackwing: - handling - steering - power (the Bullitt was no slouch but...

Hey: no more "b" words for wives.... gonna get all of our privileges revoked!

For future reference what’s your VIN? :)

Around town my 30 year old 5 second MR2 Turbo is more fun than my 3.5 second Caddy. The Caddy has so much power that it gets you in trouble too fast for it to be fun just tootling around in the city. (Though I make up for that more than a little by putting the exhaust in track mode and leaving...

With a BW you can gap them in the corners and, big time, on depreciation.

You can hear the supercharger whine but it's a whisper, a whisper, as in ... ... blackwing... ...

Also, why would they suddenly be holding up 25s to deal with "issues" after shipping 3 model years of cars with the same engines without any pause or recall regarding any such issues, even after Car + Driver famously blew up the engine in their own long-term Blackwing? I'm on my second CT5 V BW...

Steering feel bad? Certainly not a complaint of mine - I think it’s amazing, frankly - nor of the majority of car journalists and bloggers who have reviewed the CT5 Blackwing, many of whom even praise the steering feel specifically. And these are folks who drive lots of cars a year, dozens...
