    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!!!

    I got all night...

    Why dont you do like I do...right a paragragh or two...

    I wont complain...unlike what you do about my posts...

    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.

      2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer AWD - one week behind the wheel and its pros and cons

      By ccap41 · Posted

      These are attractive little vehicles *for their class*. I'm slowly seeing more and more of them.  Then again, I have no clue if I'm seeing the new Trax or Trailblazers...hahaha.

      MECHANICAL PHOTOS The engine bay is neatly arranged as it typically is in GM products, with dipsticks, reservoirs, and an easy to reach battery ... someone would have had to help me find the turbocharger One can see 3 exhaust manifold passages below the engine shroud The engine placard says 1.3 liters and long running OBD II diagnostics - - - - - END OF PHOTOS

      2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer AWD - one week behind the wheel and its pros and cons

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      INTERIOR PHOTOS This is what the driver sees upon entering and the light switches are in their own small panel (set to auto) This is the view from the passenger's door and this provides a good view of the outlets above and buttons below the cubby space at the front of the console The dashboard is very sensibly arranged, easy to learn, and easy on the eyes ... note several push buttons for drive mode, traction, etc. right ahead of the shift lever and various plugs right below the climate control panel.  The touch screen is engaged and the vents above the center stack provide excellent air circulation. This shows typical Chevrolet gauge graphics, a fuel gauge with graphic bars, and an always useful coolant temperature gauge.  Key lights for driving modes (traction, following distance, etc.) are above the graphic display box between the 2 round gauges. This is the typical graphic box in various Chevrolets and, once it has been learned, toggling between trip, vehicle, and eco. becomes easy.  Trip has the most options while eco. rarely needs to be used.  To the left of the odometer is the graphic which shows AWD or 2WD. Cubby hole for phone, outlets for plugs, and push button controls (partial, at the right) sensibly arranged as well as honeycomb hatch to look like it could have been fabric Rear seat legroom appears to be respectable.  The two-tone effect on the fabric is fairly nice and there are map pockets behind both front seats. This shows the rearward view from the driver's seat which would make lane change and parking assists helpful The rear seats follow a "60-40" (long running car jargon) split back, a courtesy lamp, and a groove for the rear cover (which was not present in the vehicle) This gives an idea of the cargo space with the rear seats in their upright position as well as 2 usable storage wells at each side of the rear cargo area

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS The side view shows the more compact shape and the sheet metal accents, attractive alloy wheels, and a roof rack  The angled rear view shows taillamps which look fairly true-to-form for Chevrolet, but the liftgate is slightly heavy to pull up and push back down ... a person also has to make sure it's fully shut The angled front view shows attractive (LED) lighting
