2020 Cadillac CT4 | MotorWeek Road Test 

😁😁

He's still the fucking man

Same

He looks good. Prob pimps mad hoes.

Please, do not ever disrespect the legend like this again.

Ben O 💯 percent agree

Well said. They need to revise the rear, car is otherwise great

I know they got to keep the classic vertical tail lights and stop messing around with that design

ge lmfao. Do what lol

Seeing him with hair is a shocker!

He's 76

@japanwatchconnection which criticism?

@japanwatchconnection Might have something to do with cars, in general, getting better over time.

His voice is a little weaker these days.

I agree, I think the ATS and this CT4 are the spiritual successors to the original CTS.

Gotta go ct5 for a v6

@japanwatchconnection you obiviously hasnt seen a low end mercedes benz

@japanwatchconnection Mercedes-Benz A220. Same price range; direct competitor to the CT4.

@japanwatchconnection You’re username means your comment is biased and moot. Move along now.

High quality?! Based on what? They won't last 60,000 miles.

@japanwatchconnection Hear say as in what? I'm about Numbers, Stats. & Facts

@@bluesky-ud9wg I said seem. Unlike the US cars of 15 years ago, interior materials seem Nice and they no longer have live rear axles.

@@jakobholgersson4400 haha. It's all, ALL about reliability and they simply aren't

Wait 2 years and buy one on the cheap. Cadillacs depreciate rapido

I wish I had one parked next to the super cool restomod that I saw at a friend’s house the other evening. I’d probably prefer the restomod if I had a choice.

Seriously? Ever heard of Lexus???

bluesky1986 yeah man I dig the gs 430 but I have love for American made luxury cars

@@dennisglodoski6365 I get it but Most "American" made cars aren't made here anymore, just facts.

Same size as the 4 cyl Toyota put in the Tacoma for years...that was a great engine... hell Porsche in the early to mid 90s made a 3.0 liter 4cyl

You're talking about moving Cadillac up-market. They tried that with the CT6 and previously the XLR. Didn't go so well. I think Cadillac has established itself as a great entry-to-mid level luxury car. I'm all for them being the pinnacle of American luxury and performance, but trying to go after a brand like Maserati based solely on prestige is a fool's errand. V8 is coming for the CT5-V Blackwing, but the opportunity to build this mythical one-size-fits-all V8 you speak of died with the CT6. They need to sell the "wimpy little four-pots" to finance the design, engineering, and tooling for the "TRUE" luxury cars you want to see so much of. Why do you think Maserati went DOWN market with the Ghibli? :) Because you can't run that kind of business selling just Gran Turismos and Quattroportes - not for long anyway.

Your problem is that GM knew how to build V8s, but gm doesn't.

Dropping the CT6 makes no sense at all, especially as the car was gaining traction in the market. For 20 years the company was without a large, rear wheel drive sedan to cater to its traditional customers and they had perfected the formula with a return to its roots, them BAM, it was gone.

Cadillac will never make a great car. They don't know what they are doing.

@@Novusod Cadillac could produce excellent cars if they changed their engineering, design and marketing teams. It's always the head honchos who ruin potentially good companies.

@@texan903 engineering and design are what make great cars

@@MrTaxiRob With capable, competent engineering, absolutely!

@go ge Go away Prius boy troll😆

Its cold out

A300+horsepower 4 cylinder engine seems wrong!!!!

The fact the engine is out of a 2019+ Silverado 1500 makes it a joke. AHAHAHA

@@2fast4all if it is the same engine, then it gets worse gas mileage than the truck's base V8

@@2fast4all You’re a joke. Hahahaha😆

@@Lucille69caddy just got yeeted brah!

Asking GM to make moldings specifically for Cadillac is a no go. GM takes pride in using component pieces throughout their brands to save money. I bet that touchscreen is out of an chevy.

Both of you guys don't know what the hell you're talking about look at the damn interior in the Escalade it uses its own molding no other vehicles in their lineup have that dashboard or display as it is with most Cadillacs

I agree. The CT6 was a beautiful car. I really don't like the look of the CT5.

Lexus is more comparable to the German cars.

@@ms3173 it's probably more reliable than German cars. I'm simply talking about prestige. The real reason people buy an S class is because it's a rolling advertising that you have deep pockets.

@@e.a.p3174 Or they just like the car... it’s not always about showing wealth

@@ms3173 I have ridden in S class they are wonderful, but then a $150k is a lot of money at least to me

@japanwatchconnection I completely agree I have been renting cars for the last 12 years for work and even the GM cars himself feel very low cost. Look at Handy they can take that as a good lesson that change is possible

$8,000 less than the equivalent BMW 3-series. $5,000 less than the equivalent Volvo S60. I think it's a fair compromise.

Jeremy Clarkson was right about the interior of American luxury cars in the 2000s. They were not that great in terms of build quality and cheap interiors. At least they stepped up the quality of the interior of some of their vehicles currently, but they still need to improve more to compete against the European and Asian luxury automakers.

@@TimJoseph08031990 yeah the Escalades Interiors by far one of the best that you can get in American truck right now better than the Navigator I might add

Hope it's got Toyota parts.

Yes, you are correct. It's a car.

@@nickmotsarsky4382 😂

A endless money-pit.

@@BigEightiesNewWave you're thinking of the German makes. Or perhaps you have some statistics to back up your emotions?

@go ge Copy and paste much, troll boyeeee?😆

Wrong there! Mine is ordered

@@robertboone7860 Good for you. You bought a Cadillac.

Okay, enjoy yourself.

@@dp2world23 I did. I'm treating myself to something nice. I earned it after driving junkers for years

@@robertboone7860 I should've took that approach and invested my money in the Market. But oh well, let us know if GM did it right.

Yes, because the STS is closer to the CT5 or XTS in its mission. The CT4 slots in the where the Cimarron fell off.

No one. They’ll drop it in a year or so

I replaced my '13 ATS 2.0T with a CT4-V, the CT4-V is a much better luxury vehicle AND performance vehicle. It's a little less visceral than the ATS, but it makes for a better luxury vehicle. I have an AWD, so no MRC, but the shocks and bushings on the CT4 are a lot more sophisticated than the ATS. Give one a test ride!

I like my 2021 CT4 more than the 2014 ATS I owned. No more wonky haptic touch controls! No more outdated tech!

I just traded my 2014 ATS 2.0t rwd for a new CT4 Premium rwd. I loved the ATS & had absolutely no issues with it. At time of purchase I was possibly regretting getting rid of the ATS. After having the CT4 almost a week I have completely forgotten bout the ATS. What a nice car!

Still quicker and more fuel efficient than a lot of v6s. I4 engines are becoming a lot more advanced then some think

That's still true but, I still prefer a v6 . Their just less noisy in my opinion. Good looking car though

@@Moparornocar1989 i get that. Its a shame i6 engines aren't around much anymore those were the real cheese

They're working on it now. The next generation cars will start arriving in the next 2-5 years. media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2020/mar/0304-ev.html You can't be *that* thirsty for an electric Cadillac. If you are, why not put a deposit on the new Lyric, slated to be released Spring 2022?

Because some people don’t prefer driving appliances, which is what Teslas are.

@@mikek5298 come on, Mike. Wake up and smell the roses. You and I may not like electric cars, but, for better or worse, they ARE the future. Fossil fuel-powered cars will be banned from sale here in the UK in 2030. That's just ten years from now. Today, we had the UK's first Electric-only service station open - it even has exercise bikes that assist with charging the vehicle. (I am not making that up). Cadillac is supposed to be aspirational, and be GM's leading brand, so it should be at the forefront at the switch to alternative power, not playing catchup with the likes of Toyota and Kia. Sadly, not offering any electric power kills the chances for this vehicle outside of the US. It looks gorgeous though.

@@pullformore it sounds good on paper, but in the US you're basically dead if you don't own a car, and NONE of the major manufacturers are rushing any electric fleet vehicles, light trucks or vans to market for the tradespeople who need them. We don't need $80k pickup trucks with leather seats and satellite nav, we need ones that let us afford to feed our kids.

@Mr. Misanthrope Stick your Honda up your poop shoot, Millenial boy.

@Mr. Misanthrope Facts are a matter of interpretation, Millenial boy.

That Continental never had a V8.

Since when is eco, class and power mutually exclusive?

@@ragingbull94mtx 10 speed transmissions really help this equation

How many do you own?

I switched from BMW 3 series to Cadillac ATS when the BMW F30 came out. The ATS handles, steers and stops significantly better

@@coreys9434 When I bought my 4-series, I test drove the ATS first and it was great - certainly not significantly better, but very close. The 4-series is a bit larger, so in that regard I'd say the the turbo-4 ATS probably handed a tiny bit better, but it was very close. The BMW was faster and stopped a bit better, although, again it was close. I owned CTS's and liked them, and I went to the Caddy dealer first expecting to get the ATS but the stupid CUE system was so slow and unresponsive I ended up the BMW dealer. The 4-series had just came out, literally the day before the dealer got their first 428i and a 435i, I test drove both and actually liked the 428i better as it handled much better than the front heavy 435i. BTW, same with the ATS, the turbo-4 ATS handled way better and was a lot more fun to drive than the V6 model - even though the V6 model was a lot faster. I had owned the Caddy's, a couple of Corvettes, a GTO, a Camaro, a Mustang - so I like speed, but was shocked at how much more fun to drive the lighter cars were - plus the 428i still had a near 5.0 0-60, so it wasn't slow, even with a turbo-4. I think the ATS turbo-4 was closer to 6.0 0-60. Regardless I really liked the ATS, getting it white with a merlot interior, but man was that CUE system terrible, slow and unresponsive. Had they had a better entertainment system I wouldn't have switched.

initial quality LOL given out by a paid-off ad agency.

yes , endless money pit here. Kilmer was right.

The closest thing they have to this is the IS. And that's been withering on the vine since 2013. I'd rather have the CT4, thanks.

If you could lease this at a good price for 24 months, then you could get out of it before the nightmares begin.

No thanks. Lexus is boring and the front grille is too big and comical.

It's coming back soon. LOL (at least in the form of CT5-V Blackwing)

you ve obviously not driven a new one

I immediately thought of Audi when I saw it

Needs an ls and manual

Why? So they can sell even less of them?

@@haroldbeauchamp3770 to set itself apart from the competition

@@haroldbeauchamp3770 It's a low production car anyway. Most people want SUVs and crossovers. And they are more profitable.

@@povking1460 Not in this day and age. It wont move at all. We live in crossover land.

You make no sense 😳

Ok, and your point is what? The CTS-V has had a Silverado engine for a decade and nobody seemed to mind..
