    Throttle House long term Car Value reviews

    I'm going slightly off topic here, but the Celestiq is an unmitigated disaster. Middling range, middling performance, and 6,900 curb weight, all for a base price of $360k !! If you have the cash and actually bought one, you must have won Powerball because I can't think of a more foolish...

    How many miles on the odometer at pickup?

    ^^^Same exact for me. When I first sat in the car, I saw 53 miles and my heart sank, but that was the remaining fuel range.

    Throttle House long term Car Value reviews

    I'm dubious on the idea that we're going to abandon any sense of fuel conservation and environmentalism. We're in a bubble (hookers and blow) right now. Please, I'm not advocating for EV's or think we are the cause of Earth's natural heating and cooling cycles, but there is no way we are going...

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Maybe it’s time Cadillac DOES eclipse Corvette and then the realignment is complete. Corvette can go back to being the enthusiast option and Cadillac becomes the halo option with super SUV’s, mid-engine sports cars, and some hybrid super sedan. If there was ever a time to blow up historical...

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Its hard to imagine the next gen V (whatever it's called) will be nearly as raw and traditional super saloon as the current car. I agree with others that it's going to be more z06 supercar and less sledgehammer (not a sedan either).

    Is this normal Cadillac Service?

    Service doesn't need to be done at a dealer, so there is that. But, sounds like the OP is looking at warranty type repairs so it does need to be a Cadillac dealer. It definitely sounds like a poorly managed service center, but this is predictable now that dealers have a virtual lock on...

    5BW - How long before brand new PS4S tires finally have some bite?

    What are the ambient temps? Are we sure the precision pack install by your alignment shop was done correctly? Non-precision pack cars exhibit some toe induced wander but that is only under hard acceleration from low speeds. A light roll on at those speeds should exhibit nothing unusual.

    Door edge guards (invisible or otherwise)

    I recommend the chrome door edge trim so you can signal to others that you and your New Balance sneakers still know how to get around an AutoZone accessory aisle. :cool: I think the go-to preemptive move is PPF with a dash of gray matter for how and where you park.

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Economy is going in the shitter?? I think there are signs of softening which is seasonally predictable, but people who can truly afford a Z06 (cash or or minimal short term financing) aren't affected. I think there is a segment that are finally having to reconcile reckless pandemic era...

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Cadillac V Club is who they reference and where the OP got his info from. That is an @Rob site?

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Agree on this, I think it's fake/AI news. Doesn't follow the normal protocols, its too vague, and too far out in the future. The only place it shows up is on the V club website.

    Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

    Interesting news, this. As fast as the OEM's pivoted on EV's, there could be a similar pivot brings us back to EV's, particularly if there is a big technological electron storage breakthrough, or a political redirection that started the whole EV mandate. I would speculate that there could be a...

    Dealer joyride and manual "lessons"

    Normally when someone brings up the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act on a forum its because of the clause that states the dealer has to prove the non-OEM modification caused the failure. I'm dubious on that use, but at the core of the warranty act is specifically preventing dealers from having a...

    Red Battery Warning Light After Trickle Charging

    My 5 has been on a Noco maintainer using under hood terminals for 2.5 years with occasional weekend use and never have seen a battery light.

    CT4-V Engine misfire under full throttle

    Are you sure it just wasn't traction control kicking in? It's getting cooler and the engine likes that, but the tires don't.

    Are these shipping blocks

    No, those are the isolators. Shipping blocks going between the spring coils to prevent squat. If I'm not mistaken, I think they are only on the front. Sweet drawing for your review.

    Contact Info for GM Performance Build Center - Need Replacement Builder Plaque

    Maybe try writing an email or PM'ing the Cadillac Care member that sometimes posts here. In 2025, phone calls are the least likely path to reach someone in a giant corporation that can actually help.

    New blackwing with precision, toe links?

    I would argue otherwise, the toe links are a big improvement over the al dente noodles on base models regardless of use. They are a dealer installed item that is supposed to be done at PDR and I would strongly recommend you have that done.
