Their North American sales are stagnant but globally (except EU) theyre doing quite well. When Cadillac was last #1 in America (1998? 1999?) they sold just under 200,000 cars worldwide. In 2015 they sold over 270,000. The difference, however, is that the brand was previously stronger. In 1995 a loaded Seville STS, adjusted for inflation, sold for over $70k. Today the ATS and CTS start at a much lower price point. They are, however, *far* superior vehicles. It's a mixed bag.
It's weird seeing a car that I help produce every day. I'm part of the quality control team for the CT6.

It amazes me how many folks who review large luxury sedans here on KZread say nothing about the ride quality of the car. All they talk about is handling and vehicle dynamics. C'mon guys, this is a premium LUXURY sedan, not a sports car.

True but luxury sedans are rather boring and passionless to drive
This is the best looking car of the year.
I don't think anyone has mention that this car weight is only 3700lbs to start. The lightest car in its class by far.
beautiful interior. i love how simple it is !!! people need to bring back the simple interiors with high quality materials. "luxury" is way too often confused with amount of tech and gadgets stuffed into a cabin. This is a really nice, sleek design .

Hopefully all of this haptic technology, knobless controls, and touch-screen only "buttons" will go the way of the digital dashes that were "cutting edge" in the 80s
Gorgeous in black!!
my god that is so sexy in black, its a serious value that can compete with the 5 series in every way, but i dont think its at S class yet, but its the closest non German car to be that close to the S class.

+justin bouche Its much better looking than I think the 5 series and the S-class.Kills them in looks.I think the more simplistic interior luxury presentation may be more appealing than the very complex way in which S-class's interior presents it's technology.In this car A lot of tech is there but it is presented in a simpler more palatable way.Cadillac really thought this car out.
The perfect car....wow. Outstanding style inside and out and incredibly ENGINEERED. The 4 wheel steering and low curb weight numbers make this big sedan such a home run. And a 34 speaker sound system......I'm drooling....
Always love your reviews, thanks Zach!!
Just a great job by Cadillac and all the people involved in the project. Great group of people.
Good honest review, Cadillac has done a good job with this car, DTS owners will be happy finally that we have another big Cadillac.
excellent video ,the very best of the many you tube videos on this car that i've watched info that know one else has supplied
Damn!!! That was some badass review!!! Good job dude! and what a car! Nice job Cadillac!
As an owner of a 2005 CTS, Cadillac has improved their interior quality a lot. They're really stepping up their game
At first I was unsure of the styling, but after seeing many videos of it I absolutely love it especially in black! Cadillac did a great job and I love the fact that we have another RWD American luxury sedan again, other than the 300. I would really like to see Cadillac come out with a larger convertible and change back to modell names again instead of the generic lettering. Eldorado, Deville, Seville an fleetwood were great and memorable names (except perhaps fleetwood). CT5, 6, 7 etc is so plain-jane and doesn't even indicate engine size like BMW's 520, 535 and so on.
That's kind of like a value high-tier luxury car. Really love it a lot!
nice to see cad is going this way economy and big luxuries with 4 wheel steering...nice!
Nice to see a car review in Ramona, CA
You always do a good job .... Love this videos
So Caddy has this Lincoln has the Conti now I'm just hoping for Chrysler to come out with an Imperial or atleast a New Yorker.
Great comprehensive review of the very impressive CT6! Superb!~
People ripping this car up without even driving it let alone driving anything other than the pathetic plastic box they drive everyday is a little ridiculous. Cadillac is quite simply on a roll and making some amazing cars which best their competitors in almost every way. In actual fact I should have stated that the GM group is on a roll producing some fantastic cars. Get out from your computer desk, drive some new cars, get an understanding of how they are built and you will come to enjoy what General Motors is up to and this is coming from a devout Audi fan.

I like Audi’s. But I’m more into American cars. But I don’t like ford’s. GM is my family. GM runs in my family. A lot of people have Chevy’s. And if they don’t have a Chevy it’s either a ford, or Chrysler products or a Honda.
Well done, love the design.
Great review!
I`ve been quite impressed with recent products from Cadillac, but they`d better bring a LOT to the table for $94,000 !
That Paranay sound system is exceptional btw, had a look at the car at the Canadian International Auto Show.
Someday when my 2014 XTS VSport is used up, I think the CT6 Blackwing (preowned unfortunately) is my next car. Great review.
Nice car, good work ,! Really please more
excellent review you've sold me
currently own a ATS4 and SRX, this maybe my next one, or CTS V, very nice
I love this car 😍
I love the styling in the front, but I feel like that rear could of been better designed.
Semplicemente bella ed elegante!
Nice review, Zach. I think this CT6 is a great example of subtle elegance. The XTS-V is a good example of subtle elegance, too. I'm not sure if I believe that this is the game changing flagship that the consumer has been waiting for.
Magnificant interior...
Luv that car!!!
On Order 😎
For the love of all that is pure and GOLD THE CAR IS DEFINTELY FULL SIZE. IT MAY NOT BE QUITE AS LONG AS A 7 SERIES. BUT THERES NO MISTAKING ITS A FULL SIZE CAR. ITS 8 INCES LONGER THAN A CLEARLY MIDSIZE CTS. SO STOP IT. ITS NOT STRADDLING TWO CLASSES. AND ITS NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR A MIDSIZE. THE THING IS AS LONG AS A CHARGER OR 300.
More about driving dynamics, noise, ride, seat comfort, etc, pls.
❤I want one in black with black interior and red brakes.🌴
Perfect luxury! I think this car will be leader in F segment! Yes definitely it's design is better than S class 7 series A8 and etc...
The car at 8:23. That’s real American beauty that isn’t trying to copy someone else. If you understand what makes a car American and respect that long history you’ll love this car. put a v8 in it and will it be perfect. What makes a car American and what is there to respect? Size, design, value. The mustang and Camaro represent all three. Find a euro counterpart and you’ll spend double or triple. Europe doesn’t make affordable and fun transportation that isn’t first an eco hatch. That’s a huge difference. People criticize American cars but don’t understand what they even are. Point out a 30k v8 two door sports car from anywhere outside North America. That’s why the mustang is the number one selling car in its segment. In Germany.
looks very nice
Would you be able to make a video where you show us the interior ambient lighting? Most people would like to be able to compare the interior ambient lighting of cadillac's new flagship with the one of corresponding BMW and MB. However, most videos about CT do not sufficiently focus on the quality of the interior ambient lighting.
Bad ass caddy
Nice review man !. Since Cadillac are interested in cracking the chinese market, have I got an idea for them. How bout right hand drive versions. Plenty of people in Australia would consider one, since GM packed up stumps and pulled out of Australia. CT 6 nice set of wheels though!
This car is really beautiful
YES!!!
Not bad. But how about rolling out the CT9 and do a side by side test with this CT6..... yea when it is available of course.
The best car love u ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aiming between the 5 and 7 series is a brilliant move. As a 6'4" 250lb guy my 550i can be a little tight. Especially considering how narrow the from door is. In fact it's impossible to rest my forearm on the top of the door without my elbow hitting the B pillar. I've driven the new 7 series. Besides being gimmicky, it's larger than I would like or need.
Nice but why are they no bigger and upstanding Backlights anymore ?
Es un auto espectacular. El deseo de muchos.
Nice! I think the black is better looking.Mmmmmmmm
Super autíčko ...
Interesting, The new 2017 MBZ E class is bigger. I hope more cars are going in that direction vs having to get the full size.
This car looks really promising I hope the reliability is on par with Lexus, Audi and Volvo

Seriously, reviewers will nit pick American cars and emphasize the flaws more than the benefits from the car. Whenever car guys review stuff they're always so biased towards bmw and mercedes. They'll claim 3-series and c-class to be the best cars in the world while they look at a Cadillac, and say it's a bmw wannabe or fake luxury. The ct6 isn't the end of the road for Cadillac yet. There's going to be a bigger, more powerful and better Cadillac yet to come. The ct6 is the best luxury car to come out of America ever.
6:25 - what? I definitely prefer RWD over AWD since I live in the area with almost no snow, therefore I don't need AWD. RWD is lighter, has less drivetrain loss and usually smaller turning circle radius (no homokinetic joints on front axle). My current car is RWD Jaguar and my next car will be RWD too.
Zack, you forgot about the available paddle shifters, haha......

I thought the CT6 was longer than the short wheelbase 7-series and S-class, but shorter than their respective long wheelbase versions. Unless in Canada, the BMW and MB only come in LWB models?

It's a good looking car, but they should have made the interior bigger or the same as the s-class. It seems like they only make the rear seating comfortable for people 5'11 and shorter. The xjl, a8l, equus, and k900 all have low roof lines cutting down on headroom. I'm 6'4 and my hair touches the roof in the back of the s550. I don't understand what's so hard about making a real big car? They always seem to cut corners. I have to always sit in the front seat even in long wheelbase cars, but I always feel like the car is useless if I can't fit in the back. The Armada and qx80 are the most comfortable when it comes to 2nd row legroom and headroom.

drjd2real It's because most people aren't as tall as you and it would effect the looks of the car badly. I'm 6'1" and cannot fit in small cars comfortably.

Cadillac still doesn't have brand cache nor does it have a good service record. Without thee aforementioned items, I see this car selling for $10,000 off sticker.

Cadillac costs much less than German competitors and is likely to be more reliable
Car looks good, but when loaded, it is about same price is about the BB or Lexus with just handful of coin changes. Then, I would ask myself, why take the chance?
Well, I still prefer Audi's pop up screen and LED lighting
I like the smooth lines. They're nicer than the CTS's sharp angles. Those angles remind me of the ill conceived Pontiac Aztek SUV - winner of the 'Most Ugly' award. But, as the largest of the Cadillacs, I'm surprised that a V-8 is not offered. I'd much prefer Chevy's 400HP naturally aspirated V-8 than a 400HP twin turbo 6.
does cadillac still have air ride
The front, particularly the lights are still too ghetto. The rear is perfect, though. Understated and dignified, as befits a luxury car. Change the front to match that rear now, and you have a good package.
It looks like the XTS's grandfather
great car, but I am more excited for the new Continental.
I think the word you are looking for to categorize the size of the new caddy is "shmedium"
Love Cadillac - but unfortunately -like all GMs the reliability is a sticking point. When building and selling a Cadillac- the car should be as solid as a Rock. Reputation is everything - electronics, trans, drivetrain, interior, exterior elements should be perfect and last forever. Drive by a Cadillac dealership- and look at the service line -tons of them being brought in for issues. American car manufacturers don't get it - but the consumer does.
