What Features/Options Do You Wish the 4 and 5 Had, But Doesn't?

Is the 5 that way? The 4 isn’t.

Yes. Hits the rear edge of the hood right where my hand is holding it.

this was the same as the CTS-V3....they try to hide the wiper arms as much as possible...could be for wind or the wiper blade creates too much noise. it doesn't bother me that much you can still get under it to clean the windshield I hope.

Yes, it still lifts up about 3-4 inches to allow clearance for cleaning. But just like loss of the button that you push on end of wiper stalk to spray the windshield with washer fluid, this is another one of those things that was a standard for decades and has changed for no apparent reason. </boomer mode>

I was pleasantly surprised by the retail price of $1,068.53 for the front carbon fiber splitter. I thought that it was going to be triple that. The apparent part number in case anyone else may need it is 84433235.

Speaking of which, I also miss the ability to spray washer fluid to clean the camera for the rear camera mirror.

Come to think of it, does the BW still have the 120v power outlet like the V3? I'll have to check...

In general, the backseat of the BW is a downgrade from the V3. Since my wife and I are empty nesters so nobody will notice!

This is actually not a bad idea for its own thread. What options/features did the CTS-V3 have that are no longer included in the Blackwing. I guess we can keep it contained here for now.

So far we have:

Rear climate controls/rear vents
Sunshades

Feel free to add to the list.

I miss the cubby hole behind the nav screen, it was a great place to store your side arm.

I found the cd-changer slot in the V3 glove box was a perfect fit for a G27 in Galco holster. In the 5 BW, center armrest storage has increased and now works
