    2020 Cadillac CT6 Makes Big Price Moves

      ...now with a base V6....

    The Cadillac CT6 has been in the news a lot lately.  First it was potentially canceled as its home factory in the U.S. is slated for closure. Then there was the Cadillac Blackwing V8.  Most recently it has dropped both the base 2.0T 4-cylinder and the mid-range (now that there is a V8) 3.0 twin-turbo V6. 

    With all of those changes, there is bound to be some price changes to accompany them.

    For 2020, the CT6 will see a base price rise of $8,500 over the 2019 model to $59,900. With that rise, the base engine becomes the 3.6 liter V6 and AWD standard. It is also adding about $3,500 worth of active safety equipment as standard. 

    Moving up to the Premium Luxury model will add $12,000 to the price tag but comes with Cadillac's famous Super Cruise automated driving system, the rear seat package, the Comfort and Technology package, and the 34-speaker Panaray sound system. At $75,490, that's actually a $2,500 discount on those packages over the 2019 model. 

    The top model, the CT6 Platinum will come standard with the Blackwing V8, replacing the 3.0 twin-turbo on the spec sheet. It also gains 20-inch wheels that were optional last year. 

    While the future of the CT6 is murky, the fact that GM continues to make improvements to the model gives us hope that it will live on.

    Yes, I bought a California car because I was living in Arizona.  Arizona dealers get a lot of California vehicles.    I needed it to drive cross country to my house in Ohio.  Wouldn’t have made sense to buy it in Ohio...

    Geez...I wonder why it wouldnt make sense for you to buy a used car from Ohio?

    And I didn’t downvote you because you said Quebec cars rust,  but for your shitty attitude and the inaccurate assumptions you make.  And your long, rambling incoherent posts.

    I understand the lure of buying new. I did it once, my father almost always bought new, his father always bought new. There's appeal there; in a full warranty, in the 'untouched' nature, in everything clean, yes; in the new car smell. I've been looking at new trucks on the lot for most of this year, I would like to own one, I can afford one… i just refuse to pay the cost of one.

    If you can afford it with no lifestyle penalties and you want to buy new- go right ahead! but you DO 'pay' for that, and significantly.

    Its simple...dont read them...

    Yet you do.

    No...you downvoted because I touched a nerve.

    I bruised your fragile ego about used cars and depreciation.

    Do you have any comprehension of geography?  It’s over 2000 miles.  I wasn’t going to buy something in Ohio, ship or drive it to Az then drive it back to Ohio..

    .I hadn’t sold the house in Az yet, had to move the dogs to Ohio and needed a new vehicle..my old Jeep had 170k and I didn’t trust it for the long drive that was looming in my future....I had had it 17 years, got my money’s worth. (I had bought it new, by the way.)  

    No point trying to explain anything to you, you can’t understand.   Different reality context..I had a unique situation...it works for me...

    And not once did I say you dont pay for it.

    Alls I said is that new car depreciation does NOT affect me as I AMORTIZE a new car purchases PROPERLY...

    Everything depreciates...even properties...(this is where @dwightlooi told me his story about some people he knows that have bought big homes because properties usualy appreciate in value but they cant afford said huge home so they sleep on matresses on the floor and eat wet from water noodles...) 

    All this rambling because I CHOOSE to buy NEW cars...

    Its OK to refuse to buy new...and only to buy used. Its an economic stupidity for NOT taking advantage of this era of used market...

    Yet Balthy, you dont seem like the type to try to one-up your neighbour by buying a used Bimmer showing him up and other shallow souls...

    @Robert Hall  also doesnt seem like the shallow type to do this.

    I dont know @dwightlooi, but his story of his acquaintances about sleeping on the floor on matresses and eating noodles JUST to be in a big house for appreciation purposes actually sounds shallow to me...

    And THAT does not impress me...

    And yes...in Quebec...or Michigan for that matter, 

    Buyer beware when it comes to buying used luxury vehicles... 

    Its the rust that'll get ya!  Short lifespans for cars. We could talk about depreciation all we want ...but regular maintenance on high diva Bimmers on such mundane shyte like ABS brake sensors or what not take a toll on the wallet, and these things tend to breakdown more easily in bad weather areas more often than say...California...

    Chevy Malibus have those same ABS brake sensors like those fancy shmancy Bimmers...

    Except, a new, or used Malibu costs you mainstream Chevy prices to fix 'er  back up.

    Bimmers...even 2 Series Bimmers, costs you diva prices...

    On a car that will NOT last you a lifetime...unlike if you were living in...CALIFORNIA!!!

    That makes 2 people in here that have complained about my tooo long of posts...

    Is there a secret word count Im not aware of...

    Its OK...

    I wont be posting in here much longer.

    Normally I dont advertise that... 

    I dont need the sympathy...or the 

    "Good, dont let the door kick you in the ass when you leave" speeches either.

    Have a nice life guys...

    LOL... a great American... uh... Canadian... novel worth of posts later it comes down to this.

    • Oldhurst442 lives in Canada and is worried about corrosion in used cars.
    • Because of import laws, he doesn't have access to cars from south of the border.

    Doesn't change the fact that a certified 3 year old will have ZERO CORROSION and ZERO ACCIDENTS or it could not have been certified. BTW, I am sure canada has no restrictions of Quebec folks buying cars from British Columbia.

    i once used a bike pump to induce farts and popped my inner tube 

    Must have been a poor quality Nissan inner tube. After all this is a Cadillac thread so you can only talk about inducing farts on quality inner tubes.

    I'd rather buy a used clean luxury car or SUV than a new 4cyl FWD $h!box w/ a CVT and despair gray interior. 

    YUP.

    I'd rather pay less than he did on his 1.6L Fusion on my 2.3 MKC.

    • First seen at the Shanghai Auto Show (see article: Polestar 4 - The New Breed of Electric SUV Coupe), Polestar brought the Polestar 4 to the New York International Auto Show for North Americans to see in person. Polestar calls the Polestar 4 an "electric SUV 4-door coupe". Outside of that marketing speak, the Polestar 4 is a slightly lifted four-door hatchback about 190 inches in length, or roughly 2 inches shorter than a Toyota Camry.  Built without rear glass, the Polestar 4 makes use of a rear camera for visibility astern. Polestar 4 features a plethora of standard content, including 20-inch 5 V-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels, panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, 360 parking camera with 3D view, energy saving heat pump, front-illuminated Polestar logo, e-latch doors, power-operated tailgate with soft close, Polestar digital key, wireless phone charging, and 8-way electrical driver seat and 6-way electrical passenger seat. The fastest production car the brand has ever developed to date, Polestar 4 can accomplish a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and in top spec can produce 544 horsepower. Long-range single-motor variants have 272 horsepower and a targeted EPA range of over 300 miles. All long range variants have a 102 kWh battery capable of 200 kW charging on a DC Fast Charger and 11 kW on home level-2 charging. Google built-in is ... built in and includes Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play. Polestar continues to offer a leading connected in-car experience. As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles. Pricing starts at $54,900, with orders opening in April for deliveries in the latter half of this year.   View full article
    • At the New York Auto Show this week, Hyundai unveiled the 2025 Hyundai Tuscon.  This mild refresh modernizes the Tuscon and brings it more into alignment with the rest of the Hyundai lineup, including their EVs. The exterior styling updates, largely consisting of a front fascia update, are subtle. Inside, Hyundai made the interior more open and airy with a new, lower-height dashboard featuring a panoramic gauge and infotainment screen. The screens consist of twin 12.3-inch displays with crisper colors and graphics, as well as faster processing speeds.  While the screens can control all functions of the car, Hyundai still included physical buttons for the most frequently used controls.  Wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay are now standard across the line. A new steering wheel features a much more open design, and on premium trims, the gear selector is now an electronically controlled stalk on the right side of the wheel, much like in the Hyundai Ioniq 6. On some Tuscon models, a new 12-inch color heads-up display with premium graphics is available, and for the first time, navigation directions from Apple Carplay and Android Auto will appear in the display. Proximity key with push button start is now standard across the 2025 Hyundai Tuscon lineup, while an available Digital Key 2 allows for fob-free driving and access via the driver's mobile phone. For 2025, Tucson adds Forward Attention Warning, which utilizes an infrared camera mounted on the steering column to help track the driver’s eye gaze and monitor attention levels to help ensure safe driving. Available Smart Cruise Control 2 continually assesses driver alertness. If the driver is found to be unresponsive, the system can even help safely bring the vehicle to a stop, activating the hazard lights and the electronic parking brake once the vehicle is stopped. Additionally, rear outboard passenger seatbelts now feature standard pretensioners and load limiters. The powertrains largely carry over from the previous model with a standard 187-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder at the entry level end. Also available is a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid with 231 horsepower with a slightly more powerful electric drive unit (47.7-kW, up from 44.2-kW), and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The plug-in hybrid model features the same 1.6-liter unit, but now paired with a larger electric drive unit with 72.0-kW of output rather than the 66.9-kW motor from the prior year. The plug-in hybrid boasts 268-horspower total system power. With a 13.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson plug-in hybrid takes less than 2 hours to charge on a level 2 charger.  All hybrid models come standard with all-wheel drive. 2025 Tucson 2.5L models will arrive at U.S. dealerships in June, while 1.6L turbo hybrid and plug-in hybrid models will be available late summer.
