IDK... Anything in pearl white with a beige/tan interior is like the ultimate in Granny spec to my mind.

Agreed, my Escalade EXT is the same combo. Based on the accident history (3 fender benders), very low miles and mounds of dog hair I pulled out of it was definitely a geezer's truck. Black/black is 100x nicer.

I love the Diamond White color, but yeah, id ditch the tan interior for crimson or black in a heartbeat.

One of my fav cars: the splicing of “pure Cadillac” so far as comfort & efficiency went… plus a car you took to the autocross… it’s kept me focused on Caddy more than I can say.

I had a 2015 CTS V-sport. I still miss that car.

I wish these came in awd!

The extra traction would be nice, but I think it would hurt the dynamics of the car.

u/DisinformedBroski 2d ago

You could very well be right. Us up here in Canada have to be ready for the snow unfortunately. That’s why I always prefer AWD.

I'm in Florida so I can get away without it. I have had a ct5 with RWD and AWD at different times and could notice a difference. Both had the 2.0t though.

u/DisinformedBroski 2d ago

Must be nice out there eh! Ive heard the same and that RWD feels much better from a drivers perspective. I always wanted the V sport but opted for the 3.6 AWD instead 7 years ago. My next car I’m hoping to scoop a CT5 V AWD.

But that's why I would put any of the V class in the similar class as a Corvette, for nice weather driving car and have second one for the day to day heavy lifting, mine isn't a V but my 2011 CTS Coupe Performance Package is my personal and 2nd deary car and my wife's 2021 Explorer for everything else and I don't know if it's look at as a boomer vehicle or not but I'm at the very end of boomer so it doesn't matter

My old man had the same car. 2011 CTS coupe dressed as a V. He does what you do and has an Armada platinum for the winter. He just traded the CTS in for a fully loaded Genesis G90 5.0L.

If you can stomach being a little bit slower the 2.0 and 3.6 both come in awd if you want.

I have a 2.0 and it honestly does fine in traffic and merging and everything. Not as fast as my camaro but much more comfy

I had an ATS 2.0T and now have a CTS 3.6 AWD as stated in the comments. I find the 2.0T was fun to shotgun off red lights but otherwise was too weak.

Camera?

u/WeAreGaymers 1d ago

1st pic is my wifes Cannon T5i, the other two im not sure. Its from a third party company that grabs photos while on that road. (Killboy.com)

u/EstablishmentNo9866 2d ago

Very nice. Looks super aggressive. Definitely not a boomer mobile!

u/ClassMeetsTrash 2d ago

Non boomer?

u/Ok-Ad8998 2d ago

My question too. Non-boomer because black wheels? Because it is a boomer's grandma's car color?

1

u/ClassMeetsTrash 2d ago

Non boomer because they can't afford a real V???

1

u/WeAreGaymers 2d ago

Dont really understand the hate on the Vsport. Maybe cause V owners want to feel special and hate to see someone enjoying their car...

With that said, im just running a downpipe and a tune. Im 200lbs lighter than a V2 so im fairly confident I could beat one or at least hang with.

I also say "non-boomer" because its really low and modified. Something the cadillac audience isnt known for. Any enthusiast can tell you cadillac has been trying to capture the youth market for a while and subsequently introduced more performance oriented models.

You're not hanging with my coupe but enjoy your -200 lbs. No hate on your car or hate at all for that matter

Best-looking modern Cadillac, IMO, the CTS3 is gorgeous. Shame they cancelled the alternate body styles (coupe, wagon) for this generation, I think they would've been extremely handsome as well as desirable collectibles. Happy to see one being used for what it was built for.
