    Not your Grandfather's Cadillac...or is it?

    I had a deposit on a 2022 E63s wagon in June of 2021. By August M-B had decided that engine would not be coming to the US in 2022. I love wagons and considered an RS6, however, at the end of the day rowing my own gears was more important to me. I think I am going to be very happy with my...

    Not your Grandfather's Cadillac...or is it?

    The people that matter (car enthusiasts) will appreciate the car. That's what I care about! My daily is a Ford Focus RS. I love to see what kind of reaction I get when I tell people that's what I drive. It's either "You drive a Focus [no mention of RS]?" or "Sweet!" The latter reaction...

    Price increase for 2023 models

    Back on topic…just received an email from Rivian today as I have an R1S preorder for my wife. They are raising prices 20% due to “inflationary pressure”. I understand inflation is a problem, but a 20% increase is more likely a result of them underestimating the true cost to start up a new auto...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Me too! Kind of wishing I had CF1 after seeing that pic though!

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Yep, my dealer referenced VINView (as have others here) yesterday. I was "delivered" to Delta Auto Port this week too. My dealer indicated she is in two systems (a GM system and VINView) and now, for the first time, those two systems seem to be in sync with a projected dealer delivery date of...

    Opinion about ceramic coating?

    Great info here as I've never done PPF or ceramic coating. I had planned to do PPF on the front end and ceramic coating all over as soon as my 5BW arrives. However, I am little bit concerned about potential paint damage when the PPF is eventually removed and am still considering on ceramic...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Definitely a lot of status inconsistencies across the different sources. Rob's tracker is showing 3800 but dealer is showing 4300 and saw an EDD of 3/5, which has now slipped to 3/12. The wait continues...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Car was built week of 1/24. Dealer informed me this weekend that the delivery (to Northern VA) ETA is 3/5.

    Insurance Quotes

    Pleasantly surprised. Just got off the phone with my carrier. Adding my Blackwing (high deductible of $2k, not a daily driver) increased my premium only $320/year! Guess I'm in the sweet spot with a very clean record and 44 years old!

    Rift CT5V Blackwing Photoshoot

    Wow! Rift looks really good! I was looking to go with Rift but the pictures online were so inconsistent, looking very white at times. I ended up choosing Electric Blue (TPW of 1/24). Does anyone have a pic with black mirror caps? I ordered them (I believe they are dealer installed) and am...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I know the GM from another Lindsay store who introduced me to the Lindsay Cadillac GM. He told me not to worry about pricing given my relationship with the other GM. I trust I will not have problems. If I do, this forum (and other internet outlets) will hear all about it!

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I'm in NOVA as well and worked with Lindsay Cadillac. They've been good so far, although I haven't finalized pricing. Placed my order in August and just got allocation last week. I recently happened to be at Moore Cadillac and it sounds as though they've received some allocation but the...

    Can you post a pic of the cover you got? Is it indoor or outdoor? Decent quality? Where did you buy?

    2022 Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Digital Sales Brochures

    Interesting, for the CT5-V Series the small print says "CT5-V Blackwing shown. Extremely limited availability."

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    All 5BWs listed on the LaFontaine site are sold! Just talked to a sales person there who additionally indicated if you weren't one of the initial 250 it's very possible you might not get a car. I hope he's misinformed!

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Anyone know anything about LaFontaine Cadillac in MI? They have some manual 5BWs and I'm curious is they are marking up. On their website it appears their price is MSRP. Not sure if I'm ready to purchase from a dealer 500 miles away, but curious nonetheless.

    "Local" dealer has 3

    The additional dealer markup is so short-sighted! They should be developing loyal customers who will have their cars serviced at the dealership and future vehicles bought there.
