Caddy CT6

Caddy has a habit of not producing their concepts

You can already order them senpai.

This car just made the CTS obsolete.

Eh. It just looks like a big CTS. Kind of a letdown.

Mercedes built the S-Class as essentially the holy grail of luxury, no detail overlooked. So when they made the E/C-Class "baby S-Classes" they still ended up with 3 kickass small medium and large sausages.

Cadillac on the other hand, poured their heart and soul into the CTS and then attempted to trickle it up

most important bit is the weight tee bee ach

>3600lb curb weight in a 4 door luxury sedan that's sized halfway between a 5 and 7 series

it's a cadillac man

typeface on the gauge cluster looks like it's straight out of a cobalt

>>14746454
what about it? 3600lbs for something that big is basically unheard of, it's lighter than a 5 series but a few hundred pounds, it's lighter than some 3 series for fuck's sake

>>14746544
Who cares?

Nobody buying an S-Class goes "I wish it weighed less."

>cadillac actively pushing for super light weight in order to get more power-to-weight and to make everything much more nimble
>"who cares?"
this is why bmw only makes numb boats now

No, it is why Mercedes sells more S-Classes than Cadillac sells cars.

>>14747060
ok, but cadillac doesn't really care about mercedes, they care about bmw and being more bmw than they are

>cadillac doesn't really care about mercedes
Clearly.

I'm genuinely excited for it and I think it can get the brand back on track after more than forty years of bullshit and embarrassment.

The only problem I have with it now is that it is a GM product and I can't support it. Fuck Obongo and the UAW.

I just got a 2016 ATS lease a month ago, ends in 2 years. I'm pumped to go for whatever the CT series has when my lease is up. Such a great car.

I've got the family and friends discount, ended up coming out to only $390/month with nothing down.

The GM leasing offers now are so cheap compared to how they used to be. I think the dealerships realized they could make more money selling certified pre-leased vehicles.

I don't think the CT6 is competing with the S-class though. They fit in somewhere between the E-class and S-class. I think Cadillac will make a competitor to that later.

Their business strategy makes sense though. They're currently trying to rebuild their brand. If they went out and created a high-end luxury car, nobody would buy it because their brand has little weight compared to Mercedes. So by building it from the bottom up, they can build brand image so that by the time they're ready to build an S-class competitor, people will be ready to buy it.

The S-Class is it's own thing right now. I think Cadillac is going to slowly keep upping the ante every couple of years with higher price point cars until it has something as high end as the S-Class.

I test drove a bunch of luxury cars, my takeaway between the "best" cars of each category was that they're so similar you just need to decide which brands offer gadgets you'll use inside and your favorite body design.

I'm paying 410/mo for a fucking Elantra, but I also put 0 down.

You must have good credit.

>>14746419
It's actually amazing considering how much BMW tried trimming down the 7 series with carbon fibre use in the chassis

>410/month for a fucking Elantra
Why?

>>14749015
Cadillac's good residual value really helps their lease prices.
