In my case, I acknowledge this and went in eyes-open -- even with ADM these cars are great value and like nothing else you can buy new in the market right now. However, it seems like GM is genuine in its wish to make Cadillac a premium brand on par with Ze Germans, and it boggles the mind that US manufacturers are unwilling to go the extra 10% to make that happen.
I feel like both your comments just gives Cadillac/GM a free pass. You're still paying for a $100K car, regardless of the cost of the base model. Paint on these cars are absolutely horrible with blobs on edges, sunroof openings, trunk and hood undersides. Like GM isnt even trying to QA the damn paint and just pushing cars out...You guys need to temper your expectations
The 5BW is sprayed on the same line that all the other CT5 are which if anyone forgets, is a $37k car. Which is the same price BMW charges for their 2 series. Not only that but if any of you have sat in a base model CT4 or CT5 and then sat in various competitors cars that cost the same...you'll quickly realize the $34k CT4 and $37k CT5 are over priced.
You have to take them for what they are, low 30K cars that have 30-70k worth of performance parts and R&D put into them. There's nothing wrong with that but it's what it is.
