I can't wait to hear how Americans are going to pronounce these names in future.

So... small lump?

Anyone else think that they cut off the infotainment/gauge cluster for the interior pic of the 4 version because they haven’t decided whether they’re going to give the 4BW the interior refresh yet? (Or maybe it’s just because they don’t want to highlight that it still has the old screen set up, which I actually prefer)

Who the hell wants to own an American V8 car with some snotty petulant French name attached to it.

The only "Le Monstre" I know is the 1000 RWHP D3 widebody CTS-V2:

Cadillac's version is slapping some ricer skirts on the blackwing and calling it special.

I would be embarrassed to drive around with that hideous/ridiculous wing on my car.

It's retaining the old setup. Wish they'd retrofit the CT5's 10" screen as a hand-me-down since those cars now get the 33".

Google search tells me that it means 'little clumsy'. Not sure if little is an adjective or noun here

 

[Sully]

All I want are those blue CF part #’s!

If anyone is interested in an A10 Petit Pataud, Delaware Cadillac is expecting one soon and was willing to do only $2.5k over sticker.

 

[Kevin0311]

sure it is not 25k over? the rest of their 5bw are 15k over msrp as per their website.

 

[VBhak]

Isn't this the dealership that everyone says is not good to work with?

Any stealership with a mark up I'd consider one not worth working with.

Ugly

Because they look just like current Blackwings?

As someone from Louisiana, now is my time to shine.

When I was car shopping, I remember dealing with these jokers, and before they would give me an actual price, they insisted that I "come in". Now, I get that, it's a standard technique, once you're on the premises it's easier to close the deal, but I made it clear to them several times that I am in NC, and the response was "so what?"

They have about 10 M6 4BWs on the lot. It seemed like he was willing to make an under MSRP deal for one, but I wanted an A10. Initially they had a $12k ADM for orders (given they have 10 on the lot), but he was able to "give me a deal" with just $6k ADM since he didn't have any A10s. I noped out of all that noise and luckily my local dealer came through with an allocation that surprisingly had no constraints.

Yeah fuck all that.

 

[ngoni]

Yeah fuck all that.

And almost every dealer spec Blackwing has the sunroof optioned. They seem to understand enthusiasts want the manual more than the automatic, but I guess they haven't figured out how little headroom the sunroof leaves you on the 4BW and how problematic it makes taking it to the track with a helmet on. For me the sunroof is more of a deal breaker than the color.
