Why is NOW the time to BUY a 2019 Cadillac CTS-V? 

I really can't stand the "hellcat" comments. This Cadillac is luxury performance. The hellcat is plastic with a great motor. Nothing more. The Cadillac is the "full package".

To much to handle?Customers have too much money and not enough driving skills...

I'm in love with this Cadillac CTS V, especially with the carbon fiber package!

I'm gonna zonk this video for not having a test drive.

Too much to handle 😂😂😂. Turn the traction control back on.

Probably my favorite Cadillac

That moment you realize the video is almost done and there won't be a test drive section of the review. 😣😫😭😭

It's a great car, but 100k for a Cadillac is a bit much. Wait 3 years and buy a used on for half the cost :)

"I say just let it rip" - perfect Joe. I could see myself in that car.

You are a salesman, what a presentation. I used to drive GM products but it's been 35 years since I wanted to own a GM POS. Your show and tell makes me want to head on over to my Cadillac dealer and check out one of these beasts. But I'm afraid I would need an option this one doesn't have, inside windshield wipers to wipe the spittle off as I make those lip flapping motor mouth noises I did as a child with my GTO.

I am from Pakistan and I dream about owning a Cadillac one day. I ❤️ this one specifically

One really cool point you didn't get to mention, and I know you would have if you test drove it, the seatbelts pre-deploy(prime) themselves when the computer detects a loss in traction. It is my favorite part about the car.

Great Reviews as always Love when you do a history of a car

Looking at the title I thought gm was giving big deep discounts. 104k whewww I'm happy with my used 54k challenger hellcat. Great job as always man.

My neighbor has a CtS-V with the carbon fiber package. It’s a beast

Customer: Hey yo Cadillac cmon put some real power in it!! Cadillac here’s the V. Customer: nah that’s too much power. Tone it down Cadillac: ok 🤦‍♂️

WOW, SOME CAR. THIS IS A BEAST OF A CAR 640 PONYS . THAT'S A LOT OF POWER. I LOVE IT. THAT IS A ROCKET. THANKS FOR THAT NICE VIDEO. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT JOE, TAKE CARE.

That's one of my favorite GM cars

more cars like this!!! this is amazing absolutely love it!

Figured they would snatch some power out of it. I hear a lot of people on my end say it needs to remain straight luxury without all that race high hp performance. They toned it down tough cause they just remembered that it is a Cadillac and figured it would just be a bit radical to now tone it down a bit. Only answer i can think of

my dad used to have a CTS-V (wagon). i didnt cars about cars when he owned it. i wish he still had it so i can actually appreciate it for what it is, and maybe even take it for a spin

This is my dream car 😭😭 I’ve been waiting this since I was 13 and they just keep remaking it better and better and now I’m 20 and I jus wish I could touch it 😂😂

You know what is the biggest tragedy with this car? It's that I can't afford it. Gotta make do with a 2.0T ATS.

Great video Joe. I've never been a fan of their car platform, but I definitely like this sedan.

6:34 (there’s a truck, the official raitis rides truck in the back.) UPS truck in the window 😂

me: wow this is a nice car raiti: it cost 109k me again: 😐

I've always considered Cadillac to be an old person's car, but I really like the looks of the newer ones.

CTS, ATS - they're gone for 2020 to be replaced with two new models (new monikers).

This was a great review. I was so excited I put you on my large tv with surround sound just to watch the review.

The only ones I see driving around in a Cadillac are old bags in Florida with leather tanned skin, gold chains and white tube socks. Sorry but no matter what GM does, they can't shake that image. Great video. Keep up the good work.

1. I say there’s nothing wrong with the engine cover. It’s a very classy touch and it looks clean. This vehicle isn’t just for the track and people aren’t leaving it parked with the hood up as they make a quick run into the office. This vehicle is a class-act luxury sedan FIRST, *then* a performance car. So the V-badged cover makes sense. 2. Again, GM did right imo. I think they definitely should have detuned the engine for the Cadillac CTS-V since it’s not in any way meant to be a Corvette alternative. It’s a family luxury sedan that happens to have the power to blow your top off. I don’t think there’s one person to drive one and complain about a lack of power. Detuning does however leave _something_ to be desired, especially for the car enthusiast who are numbers driven. Knowing this isn’t the top numbers for that engine allows for the Corvette to keep it’s own appeal. Smart move from GM or maybe I just understand the logic behind the CTS-V. I love how you give a little history behind the brand. Great reviews man, your knowledge of the vehicle and attention to detail is much appreciated. Oh and you’re in my hometown. Saint Pete! Stand up.💯🔥 Lol. Keep up the great work, man!

Love how they look in real life

Nice job Joe. The CTS V is one of my favorite Caddys. You didn't mention if that had a power rear sun shade for the back window. Not sure if Cadillac does those but for 104K I'd expect that as well as cooled rear seats, massaging fronts, less gloss black plastics on the inside. I'd love to have one but I think I'll be limited to 1:18 scale. I think Cadillac is nuts to detune this one and even more so for next year.

Great review again..nice looking Caddy! Thanks for always being so detailed..

I honestly think people should wait, caddy is doing what the Germans are doing with the whole make everything a v series, I’ll look out for a v2 or v3 variant, hopefully 700+hp awd ct-6v, 500+hp ct-5v and 400+hp ct-4

Wow! Lovely car! Who wouldn’t like the v- package. Sad that there tuning it down. Younger people wouldn’t like it to be tuned down. V-package is a race car. All the subscribers need to buy Raiti’s Ride t-shirt so he could get the truck for Lori. Joe needs our help. 👍💯video💯👍 👕make sure👕

Joe, my friend....... thank you!! AMERICAN Luxury/Muscle Pinnacle! GM (and the World) is changing. Future Legends like this V gem will keep us Car Purest motivated to continue the lineage 🔥🔥🔥🍻

How do ppl say it's overpriced? Its a luxury 4 sedan combined with a sports car... The ultimate car.... for 100k yess sir no problem

Awesome coverage of the ‘19 CADDY CTS V

My dream car. I love it! So beautiful...

Great job brother. God bless you and thank you.

Everyone over here talking about 100k being too much. Meanwhile i wish a CTSV was 100k here in The Netherlands... If i could even buy one lol. If they were 100k here id buy it in no time! Best vehicle in my opinion

Damn... Raiti pumpin out videos like a Twinkies factory 😎👍

Hi Joe great work on your Vlog today that Cadillac looks hot. I really enjoy your hard work on your Vlogs. From the notification squad up in Beautiful Vancouver British Columbia Canada

"The official Raiti's Rides Truck just drove through". lmao!

I have always like the latest Cadillac design cues. I do like the logo, they took the wreath off and I love how Cadillac had kept that traditional look with the headlights and taillights. Once again, Raiti's Rides, great job!!

Those are wicked cars! It’s what my ATS4 Performance model wishes it was. There’s one in my neighborhood with aftermarket exhaust and I can hear it coming two blocks away. Thanks for sharing it Joe. I hope Lori is enjoying her birthday. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

"That thing is bigger than your pizza" idk why I find this funny lmao

Raiti's Rides got the best car channel.

Is it weird that i could listen to you talk all day hahaha! Sounds like you're from Staten Island or some part of NY

Cadillac's used to be it! I remember brown ones floating around in the 70's with the fake soft tops.

Always on point Keep the reviews coming I’m here!

This dude always make good videos

Here in 2024, happy to see you got a professional camera woman now aka Mrs. Raiti, way more professional.

Enjoying your videos. Great work !

Beautiful car and great presentation, Joe. Way outta my price range though. Maybe 10 yrs from now I could afford a used model. Of course I'll be 76yrs old, 10 yrs from now, so maybe I'll be ready for a 4 door luxury car. Only wished you included a test drive as well. I would have loved to see how fast this bad boy goes down the road. Keep em' comin' Joe, thanks.

This car should become a collector's item. It is probably the last true V car there ever will be.

great job Joe almost there 85,000 subs for the best RU-vid's channel in the world god bless

I like this CTS V... it looks great! I think the newer V’s will look nice as well. Now, wow me... had an M3/M5: and have an M6 Comp ...

That hood! 😍 Love the looks of it and great video Joe and yes I had pizza last night! 😁

Cadillac Always Amazing

Red interior and it's perfect

One of the few american made powerful sedans I like, up there with the Charger

For $104K it better have storage room for my class ring.

Got to realize at this price point you don't see many of these, especially with many other choices that give you more than adequate power for the daily driver. Add in the slower sales of sedans in general it isn't surprising what they're doing. It will save them production cost and also be more attractive to the sedan buyers that still exist with their new offerings.

GOT ONE AND I LOVE IT.. 2018 GLACIER METALLICA WITH CARBON FIBER KIT AND SIDE SPLITTERS.

One of the most awesome American supercars ever, sadly out of production. But these will always be a classic and depreciate slowly as so few were built. A few still available in dealer inventory.

Best v8 sedan on market !

Beautiful car (Perfect color choice)...Didnt realize it has the same motor as the camaro ZL1

This is on my shortlist for this year along with the Stinger GT and E63 wagon.... Should I wait for the CT5 -VV with potential first run issues

I test drove the 2 door in manual and its definitely a better handler than the m4

Nice review. Thank you!

I can't wait to see the CT5 win it come out .I love it.

Great video RAITI, your videos are always full of information

"oh theres too much power this thing is dumb" *laughs in hellcat redeye*

Love the CTS V , i rarely see them here in los angeles all i see are chargers, challengers, hellcats, gtr,M3 and M4 etc....but a cts v is a unicorn u hardly see cant wait to purchase one!

Good thorough review as always

The new DOHC engine (Blackwing?) has less power but that's often the case with new motors. I wouldn't be surprised if future versions have more potential than the pushrod engine being replaced.

LOL Hell cat cant even compete with this lovely fucking ride. A few bolt ons and you will smoke a hell cat while looking a million times better.

Was the camera shaking or am I tripping

Imagine the wagon version of this🤤

I already have one... the next one I want is the celetisq ev but it's a Lil pricey at $300,000... I Luv all Cadillacs though, my previous one was an ats 2.0t.... all about the Cadillac... great video...👍

Bruh the exhaust is insane 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I have a loaded 18 and I still love it 10k miles later. Would never buy new though as my car right now is worth maybe 55 with a msrp of 104.

One of my dream cars

$104k today. $50k 3yrs and 36k miles later.

Raiti’s Rides big fan and subscriber I want to see Jeep SRT please nothing more thanks 🙏🏻 all love and support

Well, I am right here in Tampa, Florida. I should go over to Dimmitt to test drive that Caddy!

Another fine analogy on a fine automobile. Truly wish I could buy them all

Check out the hidden launch menu that changes the timing and let's u hold the brake and gas down and it will hover at 1500rpms when u let off the brake u launch...

Keep the LT4 under the hood and add all-wheel drive instead of the the turbo 4.2🤔

Always loved the V’s. Took one for a ride last year while shopping for a car for my better half. Just an absolute rocket.

I'll buy it tomorrow

Whats crazy is all the people who are mad about GM discontinuing this version or Replacing this car. Are all people who NEVER BOUGHT ONE. Thats why they are changing it and reducing the power This car is BADASS with a horrible Transmission.

Have never had a new car before but I swear...I swear... this

That is one BADASS car!!!

I like the idea that my alcantara products will have an appropriate alcantara pocket for their stowage. I also like that I can stow my Twizzlers and pop-up tent in order to be ready to haul ass on a track day! Love your work Joe :)

Next V(R,+, Blackwing or whatever they call it) will still be a monster!

Not going to lie,having just watched your review of the ct4, I much prefer the sportier,edgier look other previous generation CTS, particularly this V. To me, the CT4 is basically the CTS with softer,more rounded edges. Random thought: The first generation of the CTS coupe reminds me of the 1981 Seville sedan from the rear, which was striking and attractive to me, because it was so unlike anything else on the road at the time.

Too much power , you've got to be kidding...I bought my 2014 CTSV Coupe for the power...if it's to much power then don't buy the V. The 556 hp from the factory is the main reason I bought the Caddy. I drive my car with the traction control off, nothing worse than pulling into traffic and the traction control shuts off your power, but the traffics still coming. Great set-up for a wreck !
