Congrats and nice car! I too have been eyeing the CT4/5 blackwings. Would love to hear some of your thoughts after a couple weeks of living with the thing.

What I miss are the days that you could get a 1-2 year old domestic vehicle for a great discount over new. That meant you could be in a really nice car for a much more reasonable price. The only big exception seemed to be domestic light trucks, which always held value very well.
However, with today’s short supply, big dealer mark-ups and long ordering times you will probably find someone trying to resell this kind of car in a few months for thousands more than sticker, mostly because you can get it from them “now”. |

I think this car, particularly in a manual is still a a great deal for what I paid ($70k OTD) and based on the lack of availability and transition to EV, I don't think I'll lose much once I sell. |

Congrats OP. I would have tried to get one if GM had the balls to throw an LT2 in it instead. Having two V8 options at different price points would have been a complete blowout against the competition.

A few of these 3.6TT engines have already eclipsed the 700+whp mark so it's proven to be tunable too. |

Congrats and cannot blame you!
I'd love to have a CT5-V Blackwing (The only DDish car I think I'd replace my DD Hellcat with right now), but $100k? F no |

My first thought being black is if the rear fin was removed it would look like an unmarked police car. That said, it does not matter what I think, only matters is if the driver is happy.

I saw a white one yesterday. I have to say that it looked pretty good. Definitely better than any crap from BMW as of late, that is for sure!

If comparing to some other large-ish sports sedans, the CT5 is a pretty good deal, without ADM obv. Also gets a manual option. |

Congratulations! You deserve to drive the vehicle which provides the most inspiration.
My 2017 BMW F36 is fantastic. Probably, the best non M BMW I've driven. If I had to buy another car today, it would be X4MC (humbly calling it a car). if I had to buy another full size SUV today, it would probably be GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate or Cadillac Escalade. Magnetic ride suspension is what BMW M Adaptive aspires to be. |
