Turbo Diesel don't care what else you may be doing.

that reminds of the time a few years ago when a bunch of folks here were saying that Cadillac didn't need to offer all wheel drive as an option on their rear wheel drive cars which weren't selling. and then finally cadillac gets that all wheel drive matters and that took away the impediment to the sale. luxury car buyers want a quick car and if the buff books or their butt in the seat tells them the car is slow, that is a big impediment to the car being purchased. impediments that don't exist in the competition. Cadillac had / has a chance to sell many CTS if -Cadillac improved the quaility of their interiors and leather. (not sure in this case) -if it has sexy styling (not sure it got that in this case, especially with the divergence from Caddy style and the wishbone / awkward c pillar treatment that is being universally commented on unfavorably on social media and web sites in many places. -if the car leases cheap like the competition, which cadillac still doesn't get....how do they plan to move any. -if the car has dynamic advantage or is not up to class average in either ride, handling or power. the car should ride and handle well because Cadillac did finally condition buyers to expect that but if the luxury car buyer is not getting the same power in the entry model that the competition is then, see ya. Caddy will way overprice the twin turbo six out of the market as well. if it were a standalone option for not a ton more, the 6 vs. 4 choice would help them. But they will bury the six cylinder option in a super expensive package i bet. For the CT5 the issue is solved by simply tuning up the motor to more horsepower. But for whatever reason GM screws up their new motor launches. It should have specced out with at least the same or more power and torque than the motor it replaces. They probably detuned it for CAFE reasons, which should not be a thing in a luxury marque.

That is sweet im going to look at a 4 cyl Silverado later today. Wish me luck

I remember that with my diesel Escort and my Bronco II..gutless wonders on hills w/ the A/C on. With the Bronco II was particularly noticeable in Colorado..it was scary slow on steep sections on I-70 in the mountains...

There is only one question that matters: will the CT5 outsell the E-series and the 5 series? In 2020-2025? Cadillac has a chance, especially with this car, but I want to see sales numbers before declaring defeat at the hands of the Germans.

I just grew an inch: 2019 Ram 2500 Tradesman Power Wagon in Black Forest Pearl, $50,630. SO MUCH WANT.

Kind of girly. I'll wait for the boy version.

XC40 is a damn good looking vehicle. Volvo has been knocking everything out of the park looks-wise recently.

Looks wise I think I like the sportier appearing Q3, XC40, XT4 over this.

Nice power figures, but I just can not get with the looks.. as I am not able to get with the looks of its two CUV/SUV higher ups. 237 hp/258 lb⋅ft from the XT4 in a 3660lb vehicle vs the Corsair at 280/310 is a nice advantage in power, but only depending on the weight of the Lincoln, which will most likely be about 100-150 lbs heavier. OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING.. the Blazer, for instance, proved that even with more HP, the Flex ST wasn't exactly much faster in any dynamic.

Interesting...I kind of like the blue, but don't care for the gray. If it were all blue, that might be interesting. I see they are doing the white trim like on the blue interior Navis...

Here ya go Robert: It is a nice Nautical theme color contrast but not sure I would want it for years of driving. Would rather have a nice Moca interior. Much warmer.

The "chimes" recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra were completely aimed at people like me who love that type of stuff but think no one else does.

The nicest CUV in its class, easily. Makes the Cadillac TX4, or whatever it's called, look like the cardboard box the Corsair was shipped in. And take a look at those power figures... this is luxury car power.
