Well today is the day we're supposed to see the CT5 V and the CT4 V models. NO news yet.

it really has a Japanese vibe, infiniti/mazda?

This is a joke.... They always had problems with their interiors. They have fixed their interiors and now they have problems with their engines lol. They have put a "V" badge on a regular models. This is insane. I can't believe.

What is this then?

CT4's interior looks good though. Looks like this is a C-segment. While CT5 is a D.

They should have named them as a "V sport" models. Probably, they want to see the sales. If they sale good enogh they will make real V'es. I have no other explanation of their move...

The CT4 is clearly a modified ATS, which is fine. I think the exterior is dated but otherwise I think they're good to go. Branding these models as full-fledged V models though? Terrible execution. Why would they do this?

"If you’re reading this thinking it’s all a little underwhelming for a series of cars that used to be developed at the Nurburgring, fear not. Cadillac’s Performance Variant Manager, Mirza Grebovic, says that there’s more to come from the V-Series. And that doesn’t just mean V-series SUVs."


“And this is only the beginning of the V family, ” said Mark Reuss in a statement. “Cadillac’s passion for performance shines on a racetrack. Stay tuned.”

Looks like they are basically former V-sport models. According to that quotes more powerful CT4/CT5 are on its way...

The CT4's exterior details are...ugh. Come on, Cadillac!

 

[Merc1]

It’s clearly just a warmed over ATS.

That looks amazing and the absence of a front registration plate is highly flattering.

That's not necessarily a bad thing though, chassis wise. It's always received kudos there. They've increased space in the back seat, addressed interior concerns, and put on a fresh (albeit dated) exterior. This car is going to be priced to do battle with the A3/CLA/A/1-series. It could stack up well at the end of the day.

I just don't see people who want a Cadillac buying this in any real numbers. A screaming 4-cylinder in a Cadillac just doesn't jive with the brand IMO. Euro intenders won't buy it either. At the end of the day it's just a repackaged ATS. It will handle better than those cars for sure. The real contest will be between the AMG, M and this CT4 V.

Today, Cadillac surprised Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear attendees with a sneak peek at the future of Cadillac’s V-Series when two prototypes took to the track. Drivers Mark Reuss, president of General Motors, and Ken Morris, vice president of Product, drove the prototypes, which represent the next step in Cadillac’s V-Series performance legacy.

Great! Nice trolling from Cadillac

Hope, CT5 will get their new V8.

So did I miss when/how John Galt got banned and we found out @Ghost was also John Galt? Seems like he's been reincarnated

 

[Merc1]

That CT5 V in the camo does look good. I too hope it's a V8 and not that mess of a confused car they introduced yesterday.

It probably will..but i don't think powertrain in V " whatever additional letter will be used" will be a problem...or a handling. Cadillac should have this cover but they could screwed it up (no AWD when competition offers AWD, etc)

Unfortunately,IMO, they screwed up introduction. They presented two cars (CT5-V and CT4-V) with V sign and later they explained that now the more powerful version will have "V something" on it. GM was building reputation of V series Cadillac for last 15+ years..and now they just change it.

Second, if we assume (and that is not far away from truth) that Mercedes is at the top in its class they don't have to proof anything they just have to defend that position.

Cadillac is not even close to top position and they just slap top badge they have in there Lineup (V) on lesser product. In which class does CT-4 or CT-5 go? Also 2.7 t inline 4 (it seems it is a great engine...for a truck) was developed from the outset as a truck engine. Will NVH be better than the one in competition? Mercedes for this power rating is using V6 in C class.

Dammit! Just when I needed him the most
