The wheel, the gauges and the vents are fucking nice, the rest looks hacked together. That dashboard is specially disgusting. This is a proper dash and it doesn't cost 540k.

that crease in the middle looks awful. they need to get away from throwing that V/shield crease into every part of the design

also, the dashboard is a smorgasbord of lights and colors and is way too complex

the words on the UI are too small and need to be either enlarged or the whole screen needs to be rearranged into something more intuitive

the buttons at the bottom of the steering wheel are ugly and out of place

other than that, it is a very nice interior. but i gotta say, the CT6 goes for 53k base, and this is what it's directly competing against. much better design with simpler electronics

I'm a benzfag but modern benz interiors are a travesty
also I don't mind the V in the CT6, it was ugly in the CTS though. The Buick LaCrosse literally looked better than the Caddy.
That Benz is fucking disgusting with those glossy plastics everywhere.

I only see it on the center stack and on the wheel.
What other material would you use for surfaces that are intended to be pressed all the time? It has to look good (which is why it's one big piece) but also have durability to it.
>>
>>17555810
Is there some specific criticism you have about it? Something more specific than "it sucks, lol"?
>>
>>17559199
It's the shape of the Cadillac logo, which is a vulgar display of typical American marketing. The logo shape shows up at least a half dozen times in that photo.
>>
>>17556376
because as you said, they are 'entry level luxury' aka luxury cars built down to a price so that poors can look good in front of the Joneses

literally just chebby products with slightly higher trim levels except the Regal (their best car) which is an old design stolen from OPEL. only chinks and old people are impressed by Buicks now.

Wood, carbon fiber or even plastic that's not as glossy. Glass finish is tacky af.
>>
>>17561483
What's wrong with it? You just posted a beige instead of a black version
>>
>>17561715
Textured plastic gets grimy. You can just wipe off the smooth stuff.
And if it was CF you'd complain about there being too much carbon in the cabin.
>>
>>17556019
I got a Buick LaCrosse for a loaner car while the mechanics were working on my Chevrolet. I loved that car, and it was very nice. The price was $46K, which is well above my affordability limit.

not really
I didn't say "rubberized plastic" or whatever. Just plain old plastic without the "piano finish" aka attempting to look like glass.
Also check this out, they have the Vs the other anon was complaining about and it's not even a Caddy lol. Also the air controls and temp screens look similar to the ones on the CT6.
>>17561791
$46k
wew lad, that's the same as a base CTS
no wonder the interior is so nice, although it surprises me that they're priced above Caddies
>>17560944
Do you really need to ask? For starters, the shape of the dashboard itself looks terrible. It's like they had some parts bin dashboard, bought it and only then started thinking of what to do with it. It's a 540k car, most cars above 100k have interiors leagues better than that one. The only one I can think of with an interior as bad is the Nissan GT-R.

lol, modern Peugeots are spaceship tier

Probably the only two manufacturers trying to be futuristic nowadays. I wish the 80s were back, it was a pissing contest back then to see who could come up with the most futuristic interior.
>>
>>17561963
Agreed. This Peugeot looks spaceship futuristic without looking tacky -at all-. Amazing fucking interior 100% my taste
>>
>>17561985
I guarantee it won't be as nice as it seems there, but it's still nice. Source: my friend has a 208. That center console with the glossy plastic will look cheap. Other than that, it's awesome. I guess it could have actual gauges but it's still nice, and they managed to make the autistic tablet not look out of place. That's better than BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Pic related is what it reminds me of.

I'm fucking glad they're getting their shit together again, after the disaster that were the 90s and 00s. So many brands fucked up then and they're having renaissances.

That's nice and all but the dashboard kills the CTS for me. Now the CT6, I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
>>
>>17562815
Oh shit, didn't even know Cadillac got this good. Defiantly adding it to my wish list now.
>>
>>17562839
I kinda feel like a caddy shill now lol
but it's true that they have become much better, and they've refined their design language. It actually looks good now. There was a period not too long ago when the only ones Cadillac appealed to were tasteless people such as rappers and their fans. Now they got their shit together, and also the V variants are quite fast.
Watch out for the V8 CT6 when they launch it, I hope they do it soon.
