I do agree that the Blackwings are great cars. Too bad they decided to make only a tiny number of those and they are all sold out. Cadillac’s motto: watch the Blackwings, and now go buy the boring XT5 crossovers. |

Numbered First Edition is sold out. Regular production allocations are available. Although just like any in demand car right now, orders are 3-6 months out because of supply chain.

I have been burned by American cars. They just don’t stand up quality wise over time. These look good and get the General public excited. I just cannot fight the feeling I’d be screwed 5-20k mikes down the line.
GM needs to focus on quality to win me over and the only way they get my $ is to put their money where there mouth is and offer an industry leading warranty or guaranteed $ trade back. |

What's so cool is that despite it being a very small market for these, they made them anyway! Love it!

Anyway it seem to be a moot point at least in Canada, Ontario, because those Blackwings are all sold out, and the dealer doesn't know if there will be next year's production, or if that's the end of the line. Keeping my fingers crossed.. |

Man oh Man, I'm loving the CT4-V! Not only from a visual perspective, but performance perspective as well. The twin turbo 3.6 liter V6 (472 hp) has plenty of power for me. Also love the fact that it comes with a manual transmission.

Worth what? Enjoying all the awesomeness & money spent? They are made to be driven. It's like driving any other car in the winter. You don't have to floor it at every light. I slap it in Eco mode if it is raining or snowing. Dedicated winter rims with snow tires on my Hellcat. If the world ever gets real with car pricing again, I will give a serious look at the Blackwing once that normal GM depreciation hits |

Manual transmission is much better with a RWD in the winter than auto IME, much easier to feather the clutch to get going, with auto it spins the wheels much too easy.
