2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

[CaddyTrack]

It appears GM used the new blue metallic and black tricoat from 2011-2018 and 2011-2015 respectively. Was hoping carmax wound have a used car in these colors close to me so I could see them on a car, but no luck

It's a semantic debate but I think the BW could technically be categorized as rare, even if production continues into 2025. I called my Chevy SS a low production car and will probably use the same term for my 5BW.

Yes, I believe GM was assuming a model run like Chevy SS with equivalent production numbers. Things changed Hugely and Blackwings are just not going to be produced in numbers similar to SS's or what GM even wanted...I think we're @ 2700 total CT5 V BW's now....so call it what you want low.limited etc. it is a numbered car regardless..

I am proud owner of #632 model year 22 and nobody is taking that off my hands...nobody! Lot's of major GM classics in that list!

Everyone has an opinion and personally, I think purple is fugly.

Beg to differ.

 

[shbox]

Like I said. Everyone has their opinion. The late model Chargers have ruined it for me. Love the wagon, though.

This is not correct, off by nearly an order of magnitude. For first gen 991.2 tourings only 750 came to North America (715 USA 30 Canada) all produced as MY 2018/2019 not sure about ROW but nowhere near 6000 were produced. Current gen touring 992.1 likely similar possibly slightly more will be produced but again likely less than 1000 total to NA. Even at those number not considered “rare” by any stretch of the imagination although it is a very nice VW bug.

Correct, I should have said not even 2000 were made

Black diamond tri coat was very interesting on the V2 CTSV. It was love it or hate it with the amount of flake.

Very true. Some called it “Stripper Sparkle Black!”

 

[Tall Steve]

I loved the Black Diamond tricoat...I had a Buick Regal in that color..

 

[Matt27]

Very true. Some called it “Stripper Sparkle Black!”

I would have liked some flake for my Black Raven but... that ship has sailed.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Thanks to @LF4472 who posted the link the the ordering guide in another post, I found the CT5 order codes for '24.

Looks to me like GM authority is wrong about the new instrument cluster? Order guides for the IC / second screen look identical to me, but I could be wrong. (see below)

Makes sense to me as GM has vowed to milk as much profit from their IC cars as possible while the EV business bleeds red ink. A new front bumper for '24 (which everyone has confirmed) probably costs very little to "freshen up." While a new IC would require an entire software rewrite, which sounds super expensive to me.

They already did it with the xt4 so porting over that already done software rewrite would not be much

Yup! My buddy had V-gen2 with Black Diamond Tricoat! I hate black and loved that black!

That's why I said Stellar Black. Has just the right amount of flake. Diamond at times is a bit much, but I do like it. I think my black car days have sailed too.

i saw a ct5 in that color few months back and this is an extremely accurate statement

I’m confused. Does it help me get strippers or would people think I’m a stripper, or that I’m driving my GFs car and she’s a stripper.

That color had a lot of green and pink flake in it too. Never understood why caddy ditched that color for black raven only

 

[The Sandman]

In your case... none of the above.

100% cost that's GM!

So orders can be put into the GM system starting tomorrow and still no word on refreshes?
