I did last week. I traded a drive in one for a drive in one of my cars.
Let's just say, probably keeping my M2C and not getting a CT4-V BW. I posted on a Blackwing FB Group and someone responded promptly and gave me a real experience in the car. |

Cool story bro! You said that this was "typical" for Caddy, so I suppose you can show a whole bunch of examples of them making a car with "too much HP"?

I agree with you. A big, heavy four-door sedan with so much hp should have an AWD. This is not your light, controllable and tossable GT3. They should go try out a Charger Hellcat on a wet road and see how that works for them.

You said "typical", so I'm waiting for your examples.

You are so right I have trouble staying grounded w my z06 which has 100 plus less HP. I am sure this Caddy is a fun car or drive but needs AWD and reliability is going to be suspect. Plus Cadillac service can leave a lot to be desired at some dealerships

As opposed to the "down-selling" of work from your typical BMW SA?

This thread has again turned into the "American car... but the interior sucks" meme. It's just amusing. For a performance car, the purpose of the interior is to help you drive it better. From that perspective, I don't see where the Caddy fails vs. the Bimmer. |
