PDR looks to be standard for '26, too, according to the online configurator.

Indeed, and already proven to be pure wrong speculation. 2026 MY for 5BW is also live on Cadillac's own website.

I agree about that with heel/toe driving, but I love manually rev matching even when downshifting without braking. It’s like constant practice to see how perfectly I can nail it.

(Sooo… if I may say: manually rev matching, to me, is an integral part of the manual driving experience. Total engagement!)

I hope so, but going all electric for the fleet will kind of make that “driver focused” branding useless. I’m a huge F1 fan but will never be an EV driver, so I’m not quite sure who they are marketing to with that combo… Yet that’s exactly what the C8 was designed to do: shatter that...

Yeah, Porsche is an example, but the carbon backs are part of a completely different seat structure, so it’s more function than just form. Despite the few ounces of weight savings (which definitely undisputedly of course no doubt will help with lap times 😀), the BW shells are just cosmetic...

Oh, and I didn’t realize it before, but there are a couple other car manufacturers out there that seem to be offering the same exact color. I’ve been sitting in traffic at a light and looked to my right and said to myself: that Subaru Outback is the same exact color as my hot shit $130k 670hp...

I always envisioned Drift would be just a part of the final version of the car, after I lowered it and put some bronze colored aftermarket wheels on it. As it sits now, stock including the polished silver wheels, the color isn’t amazing, it’s very tame, more baby blue than anything. But...

I love sleepers, too, have owned a bunch (I really dig super powerful wagons). But what is bothering me about this sleeper is the old man stereotype that comes with the Cadillac brand. That may be taking the sleeper style to a comatose level. Just my feelings after a couple months. No real...

Can I ask what the fascination is with the carbon backed seats? I thought I was by default getting them as part of the CF1/2 package (the online guide isn’t clear that the $8k up charge on the seats is because of the aniline leather *and* the cf backs, I only ordered mid tier). So I was...

Maybe this has already been mentioned in this 17 page thread, but perhaps one thing I don't like about my 5BW is... that it's a Cadillac. After 1100 miles of driving my new 2025 5BW, I'm wondering if perhaps I've taken my tendency for buying Sleepers too far. I think the Cadillac brand has so...

Ah, yep. I already have both options on my 25, so haven’t been so obsessed with them like I am with not having the blind spot indicators.

Besides the blind spot indicators, what else are they “adding back” in 2026?

Yeah, I prefer movable handles, but I've also found that the unlock feature is very picky to how close your key is to the car. That's what makes you pull multiple times, I think. It was too picky, so I turned off the auto-lock feature. I don't lock the car manually at work or at home, so it cut...

Google Assistant is another way to quickly adjust volume, but it doesn't bring up the screen. "Hey Google, lower the volume" You can even whisper it. I am amazed how sensitive it is with its listening. I'm not a fan of talking to machines, but I guess I better start getting used to it...

The steering wheel buttons control volume on the right and mute on the left (phone handset icon with X). There is a screen controlled volume, but you need to dig down to it via the sound menu, so it’s not quick to get to. Just did a 600 mile road trip with my 2025, still figuring stuff out…

Mine was a customer build (by me) and showed up in the system as available inventory on the configurator when it was in transit.

Vid is live now:

Anyone know of a wide angle side view mirror lens like found on the passenger side? Maybe one from a RHD car ( I assume GM made some CT5 for export markets)?

I dunno, I thought that way once when all I ordered were solid black cars. I got sick of the non stop dust and ordered a high metallic black color one time, thinking it would hide the dust. But every time I looked at the car, even when clean… it looked dusty.
