Reviews SummaryEvery brand needs to undergo occasional makeovers to keep its product portfolio relevant. Brands like Lexus and Jaguar have been doing this the last 5 to 10 years, but the brand that took it upon itself to reinvent its image, and the car that started it all, was the CTS. It arrived in 2002 and was the first truly modern Cadillac. Unlike its big land-barge predecessors, the CTS was taut and featured angular styling and forward-looking engines and technology. Each successive generation of the CTS has seen an evolution of the angles, the powertrains, and the tech, culminating with this car: the 2016 Cadillac CTS. The third generation of the CTS is the largest, most refined, and most high-tech version of the car to date. The third generation of the CTS debuted for the 2015 model year, and is largely carried over to 2016, save for a few key updates. | |
Reviews SummaryYou might have noticed that Americans have stopped buying cars. That trend hasn’t gone unnoticed at General Motors, where, starting with the 2021 model year, just three sedans remain on sale. They are the Chevrolet Malibu, the Cadillac CT4, and the Cadillac CT5. Featuring a new nameplate attached to a restyled older car, the Cadillac CT4 is best described as a four-door Chevrolet Camaro, but with an extra layer of quality and sophistication. And while that layer is disappointingly thin, the car’s base price is surprisingly low. | |
