Cadillac’s flagship is positioned against the best Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes offer. But CT6 travels a different road than those sedans, and has a good time doing it. Tom Voelk reviews an all-wheel drive Platinum model.

@donalddonofrio9315 7 лет назад

There are a few European cars that look good, but they aren't made in Germany! Cadillac is kicking ASS. They made a commitment to dominate every category in each class. They out perform, out handle and with a little effort they can dominate in luxury. The CT6 resulted in 27 patents including the process of welding aluminum and steel. America is back in the game. You can get on board or stand on the sidelines as it passes by. It's about time the German auto industry gets a kick in the ass.

@Forge17 5 лет назад

Definitely a car that looks better in person. Especially the inside, it’s supremely comfortable

@Sayua-chan 7 лет назад

We need those in Europe, even though they don't quite compete with Mercs or BMWs. Non-german cars provide a kick in the back for the german brands, so that they don't feel too comfortable on the market. I hate monopoly.

@jody024 7 лет назад

There's no demand for this car in Europe.

@rumblebee4602 7 лет назад

Drive one then make that statement. I have driven Mercs and BMWs and this car out handles and performs them HANDS DOWN! My wife and I just bought one and it is without question the best car either of us have ever driven.

I picked up 4 months after release. I got the twin turbo car rides very well so smooth and good acceleration, it's not 0-60 2seconds fast, but it's good. In my opinion Cadillac did a great job with this one. Last Cadillac I had was a 2003 DeVille and that car gave me a shit ton of problems.

@TeeroyHammermill 6 лет назад

I've been spotting more and more of these lately. They seem to be getting popular with small business owners that I assume are looking for a bargain car for making a statement of success while getting back and forth to the factory/warehouse in. It's large and looks aggressive while being stately at the same time-it looks nice. The styling seems to be influenced from late 60's/early 70's eldo's and early 80's Sevilles. It's mid $50k's starting price is also quite appealing. Nice ride IMO.

@dcharizard91 7 лет назад

The CT6 is a little smaller than the competition S-class and 7-series, but bigger than the E-class and 5-series...so it kinda makes it an inbetweener. I think I would get the upcoming Lexus LS500, which is similar in size to the class and similar value to the CT6. Can't wait for your review on that.

Great review, do you find the night vision system useful? And I am glad that you are still enjoying your ELR.

@DrivenCarReviews 7 лет назад

You know, I did find it helpful. There was a jogger wearing all black with no reflectors that ran out into the street about 20 yards in front of me. I would never have seen her without the night vision (probably wouldn't have hit her though, even without pedestrian auto braking). Great for areas with large animals on the highway. Yes, I'm enjoying the ELR. The carbon fiber trim has a unique braided quality to it, great to look at. Need to put gas in it soon though. It will be my second tank in 18 months.

@tyronejohns9003 6 лет назад

Love your videos Mr Tom..!! You make me wanna to purchase one.!! I'm a proud American auto mechanic.!! Some people want horsepower but in my opinion Caddys were made for cruising not racing you buy a sports bike or corvette stingray or dodge charger for that.!! And even the old skool Cadillac s.. And like you said who wants to drive a gas guzzler these days and times..!! I'm waiting for the 2019 Cadillac CT6 Supercruise platinum edition..!! Have you seen that..? I can't wait until you do a review on that model..? Next fall..!!

@tyronejohns9003 6 лет назад

In my opinion as an licensed automotive technician..!! I love the 2018 Cadillac CT6 3.0TT platinum edition or 2019 Cadillac CT6 3.0TT Super cruise platinum edition with the 10 speed automatic..!! transmission..!! I'll pay 91,990 compared to BMW and Audi and Mercedes Benz s 550 and E Class and all want there cars high dollars ranging 150,000 to 165,000..!! So those prices compared to what a beautiful Cadillac CT6 3.0TT cost fully loaded I'll go with the Cadillac for 91,000 dollars..!!

@guidedmeditation2396 6 лет назад

I can see how the car dips and dives as it goes over the pavement cracks and bumps. Too bad you can't choose your ride dynamics and set it to comfort if that is what you are in the mood for.

@lilbuddylee131 5 лет назад

Someone please tell me why most of the CT6s even loaded ones don’t have the wheels this one has. I love these wheels the ones.

@brucec43 6 лет назад

I bought a 3 y/o BMW, CPO, for $37K. The sticker was $68K. So someone lost $10,000/year in depreciation. So much for great resale value being a reason to drop $30K more on a BMW.

@brucec43 6 лет назад

Update: It has continued to plunge in value, despite low miles being put on it, KBB value is now only $24,500 with 45,000 miles, SAV 3.5i, and near perfect condition. I've lost $13,000 in 18 months, for a total of $44,000 in 4.5 years.

Actually the interior is a lot Cleaner and simpler than any German car!! The Germans really need to update their interior because they are Dated and that's a fact

@Forge17 4 года назад

I’m unsure how German build quality measures up given their subpar record on reliability. Customers being terrified to own one out of warranty doesn’t say much of their craftsmanship

@jordanl5064 7 лет назад

It's not that they don't attract customers. According to Forbes it's because they're too expensive. Read up on some real world articles. These stupid reviews and idiot comments.. these were the Rolls Royce back in the day. Probably the biggest status symbols. But I can tell you still really like it that's why you own one lol. And I agree the road presence in real life is unbelievable. Only for the most upper class.

@jamespatrick6939 7 лет назад

this is a direct competitor to the continental right? so what would you pick? a genesis, a continental or this CT6?

@76carmel 7 лет назад

James Patrick You can't lose amongst the three. If you want sporty handling, go with the Cadillac. Want a comfortable ride? Go with Conti or Genesis G90. Don't wanna flaunt a bid badge? Go with the G90.

@DrivenCarReviews 7 лет назад

The CT6 is kind of a different animal. It's about the same size as Continental but the vibe is completely different. Check out my Conti review at the New York Times. It will post here in a few weeks.

@jamespatrick6939 7 лет назад

Billy Ive been a loyal BMW client since I was able to pay for one, having said that the pricing for a new BMW is excessive looking back to America opened my eyes again, and like Tom says Cadillac isn't boatish anymore and since Ive grown tired of BMW´s sporty ride I might end up buying a continental, or the genesis even, I looked up to the new volvo, but the ride is really rough for a car that is supposed to be confort above old

@seankurth4371 7 лет назад

Haven't Volvos always been about structural rigidity and crash safety features above all? Sure they have leather and wood, so does a Nissan these days, but the full-size Volvo bricks of the 80s and 90s didn't have anywhere near the plushest ride on the market either. What they did have was roof crush test results rivaled only by fellow Swedish brand Saab.

@jamespatrick6939 7 лет назад

Sean, in summary yes, but when shopping for a volvo today you take safely as standard, you expect the best from volvo in safety, however their pricing and competitors forced volvo to go upmarket in interior and sportiness, and the new volvo, although very safe and very beautiful feels centered in sport, and as a person who already owns a "weekend car" an used mazda miata, I don't want nor need the sportiness on it

@baldheadlogic 7 лет назад

Hey Tom. I like this car like much of Caddy's latest. However, their pricing strategy is kind of ridiculous.

@christianstylez7059 Год назад

Cadillac Touring is what it stands for now

@76carmel 7 лет назад

Volume wise... most CT6 will have the 3.6L V6, and costs around $65k on average.

@abrahamelias95 6 лет назад

I am a fan of what cadillac has been doin lately but this time I feel like Lincoln did it better with the Continental. This segment is not for sporty big cars, this is a segment of luxury and comfort, I guess they could attract some buyers but for that kind of money if you want a sporty car you get a porsche or something diferent.

@marcosvillalobos9842 6 лет назад

@peterkane192 6 лет назад

@imdoneguessing 11 месяцев назад

@jec1ny 7 лет назад

Great review. And FTR I agree with you. I think Cadillac has lost some of its cache. If I were going to spend a boatload of money on a "look at me car," I think I'd opt for a classic caddy. Something mid 1950's - late 1960's. A car that announces to one and all "I own the road. I am driving 5,000 ibs of good old fashioned American made steel on an X frame. And no, I don't care about the gas mileage, or if the car gives me a neck and foot massage at the same time. So get your little fiberglass electric canoe out of the way. Cus there is an ocean liner coming down the channel."

@kxngearner698 Год назад

A great looking vehicle from Cadillac but it would have done a lot better with sales if GM wasn't so cheap and would have went all the way with this vehicle Cadillac could be a Real Luxury brand one day if GM would just take it's foot off of Cadillac's neck until then they will always struggle to surpass Mercedes Benz Audi Infiniti BMW Jaguar etc.

No sir! The 7 series is not the standard in this class. Look at what you are saying "This class." not "These series." The S class defines what luxury and limousine means.
