Vsports are dead according to Cadillac. They'll probably just introduce a new engine option.

But if they're abandoning the idea altogether, I think thats a mistake.

"Cadillac’s powerful 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 is available on Premium Luxury and Sport models."
I don't know why they wouldn't announce what other models the CT5 will have other than these, or that more powerful engines will be available.... This Lo-Po TT V-6 looks like the top dog for the CT5....Not very much to get excited about. |

That doesn't seem to apply to the Cadillac, though....Look at the graph showing the progression of the line and the segment (BMW) it is supposed to compete with....The CT6 would be the candidate to have the more powerful V-6 and the V-8....If the CT5 were the only body style or size of Cadillac in a segment, like a Camaro, I would agree with you. |

Cadillac has no idea what direction they want to head. I don't see that company getting straightened out any time soon.

And what do you mean 'if the CT5 were the only <one> in a segment'? The lineup chart you mentioned clearly shows the CT5 in a space by itself within the Cadillac lineup, unlike the current situation that has a lot of overlap between the CTS, XTS, and CT6. They're clearing out the 'compact plus/midsize minus' cars so that there is a clear distinction between the CT5 (compact) & CT6 (midszie).

Same thing is gonna happen with C8. Base and mid level trims will be announced on July 18th. A Grand Sport, Z06, or ZR1 will more than likely not be mentioned at all. As for output, CT6 already has a higher output 3.0TT than the CT5.

Cadillac naming structure still pisses me off.

I've recently found a new annoyance with it: awkward to type. The old names were fine since they were all capital letters, just hold down the shift key. But I can't tell you how many times I've typed out 'CT%' instead of 'CT5' because I hit the 5 (thats right above the 'T') just before I release the shift. Is it one of the 5 biggest issues with their naming scheme? Probably not. But its still annoying.
