I forget who it was, but the guy who whispered "Blackwing" was cracking me up! I like that it's understated. (well, as understated as Caddy is capable of, given their current design basis"- it's not as instantly forgettable as my SS)

I tried again with the sound off, made it to the head bobble. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but OMG the hammy-ness is unbearable.

I love this car, but I got 6 seconds before I couldn't take anymore Doug.

For the base CT5 (2021), Edmund's says: Dimensions Cargo Capacity, All Seats In Place 11.9 cu.ft. Curb Weight 3,663 lbs. Height 57.2 in. Length 193.8 in. Overall Width With Mirrors 80.3 in. Overall Width Without Mirrors 74.1 in. Wheel Base 116.0 in. I'd guess that the BW...

Thought I already saw it flipped on Ebay, but that was a 4.

I rented a Mustang a couple years back and I thought the rear end was going to explode as I drove away from the airport. I dropped into stop and go traffic, and realized the noise was still there. Discovered it was the seat... Short of actually running the AC lines through the seat like Ram...

Didn't some dude down in Houston crash his Bugatti Veyron on the way home from picking it up or something several years back?

Here's a graph of atmospheric pressure over elevation. It's not the whole story, because the pressure drop is not as smooth at the surface (i.e., on the ground in Denver at ~5,000 feet will not be the same as 5,000 feet in the air over the ocean) and the temperature and humidity also play a...

The SS (Holden) is the only noteworthy car I've ever been in a position to own. I'm hoping Caddy doesn't make it my first, last, and only! If they screw this up for me, I might get a Mustang GT convertible while I can still get a stick shift for weekend top-down cruising with a soundtrack, but...

Ahh, lawyered.

If you're going to fly somewhere to pick up the car, why not the factory?!? I've wondered before how Corvette gets around the dealer mafia rules that ensure they get their pound of flesh (plus $399 for pinstriping) to do their museum deliveries- and now I'm wondering why Caddy hasn't done...

Whelp there you go- the way the more detailed option information read, it seemed that VP1 was automatically selected, but that VSN was somehow tied to the auto tranny... VP1 was auto-checked on a generic order w/manual and no selected options that I got from a dealer. I wonder if that's...

Here's a question for you: As deals fail to go through, why isn't Cadillac working out some mechanism to match up options and get the cars into the hands of other order holders? At least create some sort of option to transfer if the package is close? I've already seen at least 3 stories where...

I recall figuring that out a while back, and I believe that particular item in the configurator is broken. Basically, there's some piece (auto tranny cooler, I think) that requires adding an additional chunk of plastic under the car for airflow. I'm fairly sure that when you select the 10-spd...

Probably just torturing myself, but any chance of getting you to take a few walk around pics in better lighting? I was a bit worried about the look of the darker wheels against the Steel paint, but that looks amazing!

There should be a special place in Hell for people like this. If you spec a slushbox, you own that- don't dump that crap on the rest of us!

Since it looks like GM's allocation games are going to cost me a car, I'm wondering if anyone has any concrete intel on MY23. My plan was BW this year, new Caddy SUV next year. If there's a 2023 BW and the pricing doesn't go off the rails, I'll certainly try again before I swear off GM products...

You know there's a fix for this right? Also deletes those silly flappy-paddles, so it's a win-win...

I've always liked Baruth's writing, and this is a great example of it! Although, he seems a bit confused by position and options- conflating ~$35K worth of track gear, big brakes, and carbon fiber with added luxury? And, comparing it to a G90 is like dinging Triumph for not giving the Daytona...

The old trope about car salesmen showing women the vanity mirror is seen as a slight against women... The reality is it's usually the only part of the car the salesmen is qualified to talk about.
