People with the Sky Cool Gray seats; any regrets?


Not reading the entire thread, that's a paddlin'.

almost 4 years in with 15k miles on my sky cool gray seats and they still look new with my '22 CT5VBW6M
 
2023, 19.5K miles, no transfer, no regrets.

Still love the "ohhhh, this is nice" comments from people who just want to see the interior of the car and/or valet. I think everyone has a preconceived notion of what a GM/Cadillac interior is, and then are surprised when they are greeted by the light grey/black/red stitching explosion of color.

From Jalopnik's initial review of our vehicles:

CT4:
"If you break it down to materials, assembly and design, interiors in these top tier sporty luxury cars are all pretty similar. You've got your black plastic, your soft-touch plastic, your perforated leather, fake suede, etc. From Rolls-Royce on down, if you pay attention it's probably 80-90% the same stuff. The magic comes in how the materials are combined to create a whole, where the cheap stuff is hidden, where the automaker spent a little extra to create a focal point. It's all very subjective—what feels better—but there is a general consensus.

The best interiors in the luxury-but-not-hyper-luxury universe are made by Mercedes-Benz and Audi (and maybe Genesis now). I'd put the Blackwing cars a wrinkle behind Mercedes and Audi but ahead of BMW, Lexus and the others. If you're a furniture enthusiast this may be unacceptable to you. If you're more into driving, you should buy the Cadillac and maybe a nice chair for the living room. If you're into screens, and knowing about different kinds of screens, then please e-mail me; I just want to know how you get to be that way."

CT5:
"As far as creature comforts, you're not getting a lot of variation between the 4 and the 5. If for some reason you skipped the part about the interiors above, just know that these are the best interiors I've ever seen stuck in an American car. The imaginative stitching and choice of unexpected colors are old-school GM Design stuff—the return of a Cadillac that demonstrates some self-confidence. The materials are much better than anything coming out of the golden era, especially if you step up into the higher spec optional interiors.

SUMMARY: don't go all black, you won't regret it.

I swapped everything but the front seats and the armrest lid (still looking for that one) from upgraded black to scg. Its a night and day difference. I thought I would be OK with black but couldn't stand it knowing that there is scg.
 
Mine still look new, but as y'all know I don't drive mine a lot.. One day I will be able to afford insurance so I can drive it....
