I got rid of my loved 2015 bmw 428i xdrive gran coupe for a 2019 Cadillac CTS and I absolutely love my Cadillac. I’ve had it a year now and have not 1 regret. The handling, motor, and interior are all plenty good and in my honest opinion the interior of my Cadillac is miles ahead of my bmw now obviously my bmw was aging lol and I don’t review cars daily so I’m not in touch as most these reviewers who drive them daily, but I have no complaints.

I enjoy watching your videos but as i have watched more it just seems clear that you seem to have a bias to against American cars. You never completely hate them, but you have a very negative tone towards them. For instance to say that this is not a handsome car but the A class is, is just funny. The A class exterior is not attractive at all. I do agree the interior is plain in the Cadillac, however the actual materials are not any worse. You have the same issue Doug Demuro has when he is reviewing a sedan that is not a hundred thousand dollar car, he just goes through the motions and continually discusses that it is not an SUV. He has made it clear he does not like reviewing regular sedans through his tones and actions when he has to do one. You have the same issue when you review American cars. Your tone and interest level in the review is very different, almost dismissive as compared to German cars. I drive a 3 series so I get they are good cars, it was just an observation.

I actually OWNED a 2010 Cadillac CTS coupe with about 120k miles when I traded it in for the Infiniti Q50 that I lease now, and it needed NOWHERE NEAR "$20k in repairs" over my 3 years of ownership... Some of us ENJOY driving and have the means to buy a car that is enjoyable, and NO Toyota Corolla is enjoyable to me.

But my Caddy was decent, only had one $600+ repair in 3 years/120k miles (about 70k were mine since I bought it certified used with a little under 50k), it didn't make me a lifelong Cadillac fan but it wasn't some piece of crap that had me running to Toyota with open arms lol...

I have been hearing the exact same comments about Cadillac my entire adult life: "It's a good car and ALMOST as good as the Germans, but not quite." Despite endless $billions GM has spent on Cadillac, they have yet to get it right. This sad CT4 is merely a restyled ATS with a slightly nicer interior. It's not even an all new car. I don't see who the buyer is for this car. The older buyers won't care about the RWD, and won't like the tiny trunk and rough engine. Younger buyers would want either a German car at this price, or a Tesla.

Did any on your competitor list require a bailout from their government to remain in business? Another low-water mark for GM. I'll offer you the benefit of doubt because perhaps your memory doesn't go back as far, but GM has earned suspicion and skepticism thru many decades of dubious performance and market share losses due to quality, performance, design, workmanship, engineering, and poor business practices.

CrustyCurmudgeon I am fully aware of the bailout GM accepted over a decade ago and *paid back* EARLY. What exactly does that have to do with how this 2020 Cadillac CT4 stacks up against it’s competitors today in September of 2020? Absolutely NOTHING. It’s completely irrelevant to the topic here and only a delusional and illogical individual like yourself would argue anything otherwise. Although I’m pretty sure every company I just named has been making cars for at least forty years, it doesn’t matter since that’s not a requirement in order to compete in the industry against more established brands. Have you ever heard of a company called Tesla? I’m gonna give _you_ the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t because they certainly haven’t been around for 40 years but it seems they’ve figured out how to incorporate fully digital displays into their vehicles pretty fast...therefore neither Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, nor any other Cadillac competitor gets to use that excuse if Cadillac doesn’t. You’re delusional, simply put. Are we talking about GM losing market share or are we still talking about why Cadillac didn’t include a fully digital gauge cluster as standard equipment in the new CT4? It’s the same reason Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, Genesis, etc. doesn’t. Furthermore your rant about it being from a GM parts bin is incorrect and void. These are actually brand new gauges that debuted on the 2019 XT4. Are you able to remain on one topic or are you just like every other irrational General Motors troll kicking, screaming, and crying about how they took a bailout that Mercedes-Benz didn’t need from the U.S. government that they’ve since paid back??

In 2000, they had about 28% of the US market. Now its about 17%. The simple fact is they're following so many other American companies who were once leaders and are now also-rans (Kodak anyone?).
