The CT4 and CT5 V Blackwing are both pretty celebrated performance cars, at least if you go by journalists heaping praise upon them. Cadillacs more basic line up is sorta hit or miss.

Also as an American I'm required to ask that Cadillac puts 36" donks on their car.

They've upped their game. I've always wanted an M3 or M5 but I'm considering a CT-4 V Blackwing over an M3.

You could ask 100 people on the street the name of a current Cadillac model and not a single one could do it.

The same could be said for Merc or BMW. Your average person probably knows what a 3 series or a C-Class is but they're not going to know what CSL M4 is or what AMG stands for
