I checked my car and read the manual and it turns out there is not a low mark. Rather the manual says check when cool (and on level ground), and if the coolant isn't at the full mark (the tank seam essentially) then add coolant to that mark. Mine was below the mark, added maybe 6-8oz to get to...

The level is a range between low and full and it sounds like that is where yours is within range. I'm with 1Evil, monitor (when cold) but don't overthink it.

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...

^^^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.

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...

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...

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).

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...

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.

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.

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...

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

I guess this makes it more legit - https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69045575/cadillac-ct4-ct5-discontinued-2026-next-gen-ct5/

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.

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...
