I love Cadillac let me start off saying that but I am biased and I am an American enthusiast so strike 1 and 2 for me. Let's let the data speak for me it's been no small secret that Cadillac is suffering in the sedan realm, well everyone really is but when you take out all o the CUV's and SUV's they got a problem. It's also no small secret that if your looking for a performance oriented vehicle which focuses on the curves that Cadillac is the way to go the V-Series of the brand makes no qualms if you want a true track car and roadster Cadillac is the way to go. The problem is not always the outsides that count because, without a doubt the ATS-V, CTS-V, hell even the last version of the XTS V Sport where cars that demanded road presence. So what's holding them back, well just jump inside just jump in .... It's not a horrible interior, not even a mediocre interior its above grade...but that won't cut it against super interior extradinare's from the Lufthansa express trio BMW, AUDI, and BENZ and the new weapons from Asia mainly Lexus - but Genesis is taking a strong stab and is above Cadillac in my opinion. So where does Cadillac go in the improvement department....



  



I'll start a new line that paragraph was getting too long, so back to it, Cadillac makes improvements to the exterior and engine ????? Ummm really. Well still trying to play catch up the realization that a Supercharge engine will have trouble keeping up with a turbo charge engines on the high end of the speed spectrum and Cadillacs well renowned 8 speed (not well in a good way) , Cadillac decided to drop some goodness to make sure the Germans didn't split the divide even further. This long talked about 4.2L TT V8 comes along at the end of NA era.and is a  bit of a scratch my head point until you realize that this Electric Tesla revolution will take over 10 years to implement look how many gas stations are out there.  In addition to the new Twin Turbo V8 a first Cadillac, they added the good note acclaimed 10 speed found in the ZL1. I have no doubt that Cadillac from the outsides and performance perspective will be much more than competitive in some cases overtake the Germans even priced at the same place unless... yea I'm back to it they add small details to the interior. The CT6 is almost there, just almost there no pictures of the interior but the hope that the outside match the insides have a good change instore where Cadillac can finally put it's name next to the Big 3 of Germany as I believe Jaguar and Lexus have fallen down the rankings.  Lexus LS460 is a big swing, can this CT6 match that don't thnk so inside but it is weight and see.... So for help's sake why don't we do this take the Cadillacs outsides and dynamics and mesh it with the LS460's interior that would certainly break any Brand cliche that anyone seems to have. 

Performance Improvements:
550 HP - 627 LB TQ - 10 Speed 


Good luck Cadillac and thank you.. Release date is 2019
