Not a Blackwing, but honestly the only thing that could have redeemed that 4 banger hybrid drivetrain is if it was ungodly fast (from BMW levels of HP underrating). But a 121mph trap speed is rather underwhelming.

At that complexity point and price I would just buy an ev. This thing is barely an ice car at this point.

Hard to believe a C-class is 190.6" long and 4,749lbs(!!), ~600lbs more than a 5BW! At a starting price of ~$100k and thinking of the immense complexity and boost running through that 4-cylinder, I can't imagine buying one, especially in the longer term past warranty.

I couldn't help but notice that Dead End Sign!

This first gen hybrid C class feels like complete throwaway car. No one will want these used, and I'm not sure they'll even last given the INSANE 4cyl they put in the thing.

Don't Put Your Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Away For Winter
Cadillac's small sport sedan is one of the best driver's cars on the market. It should be used year round.

I think this is the first time I have seen good pictures of the new blue. Looks great, reminds me of my hyper blue metallic Camaro.Don't Put Your Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Away For Winter

I guess that's the new Coastal Blue? My local dealer has two (regular V's) in Coastal Blue. It's stunning in person. I like it better than Wave, and I really like Wave. The color just pops.

As an owner of a coastal blue metallic 5BW... yes, yes it does. I love it.

It's a little difficult to photograph accurately but I think these represent them the best. I don't have a ton of good pictures because I just can't seem to get it to show properly.

I know what you mean, I had a rapid red GT350R and it was gorgeous, but I could never get a picture of it to come out well enough that it represented what it looked like in person.
That does look like a really nice shade of blue, did they used to offer this or something very similar on Corvettes back in the day?

Yeah vettes and camaros both had this blue (but I'm 90% they called it something different even though it was the same)
EDIT: Confirmed. Boracay Blue Metallic, and Brilliant Blue Metallic both have the same paint code WA895T

I love my Infrared, but if I had to buy today, it would be a VERY hard choice between Radiant Red and Coastal Blue. I mean, VERY hard. Opps, off topic again.
