Would You Drive This? Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and CT4-V Blackwing - 200 mph sport sedans

Cadillac previewed both of these models recently, but didn't reveal much beyond that. The cars are going to be completely unveiled later today.
The CT5 Blackwing is expected to be the fastest production sedan available at any price.
The CT5-V Blackwing (shown in white) will come with a supercharged V8 engine. Industry watchers think that this could be a hotted up version of the Corvette C8's 6.2L V8, tuned to about 650-700 horsepower in the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Cadillac has also teased an interior photo showing 200 MPH indicated on the dashboard, which would make the CT5 Blackwing even faster than the old CTS-V and easily the fastest sedan in production when it becomes available in 2021. Tremec will be supplying a 6 speed manual for this monster, which should sufficiently embarrass the already stellar BMW M5. Prices are expected to be at least $85,000.
There are particularly wide performance tires on the model Cadillac previewed. The styling otherwise looks like a regular CT5 V.
The CT4-V Blackwing is a subcompact sports sedan designed to compete with the Audi RS3, BMW M2, or Mercedes A45 AMG. Quite a niche market, and I don't think they expect to sell a lot of them. But the Cadillac brings a twin turbo engine, rear wheel drive, and a history of class-leading driving dynamics. Industry watchers suspect that the 3700 lb Cadillac CT4 Blackwing will have at least 460 horsepower under the hood with track-ready performance, a Tremec 6 speed manual, and a sticker price of around $60,000.

Is there a specific reason you wouldn't?
I dont know that I'd buy it, but I'd certainly drive it around

Don't really care for the styling at all.
Obviously I'd drive it if given one, but I'd rather many things before it.
But I love that they are doing this. I could get past styling for that drivetrain

Cadillac has completely changed their image. And I love it.

Might be one of the last super sedans around that burn hydrocarbons. The next generation models from Cadillac and their competitors will likely all be electric.

The 355 horsepower model is really fun. You can get one for about $50,000-$55,000.
Not sure I'd get the turbo 4 cylinder model though.

It is about time they went away from the butt ugly styles of the last 6-7 years.

Supercharged high performance V8 sedans that sound like NASCARs are not eco-friendly.

Not legit. Only a fool wouldn't drive something like that.
Posted on 2/1/21 at 9:23 am to goofball
the grill styling leaves a lot to be desired, as it kinda looks like a Kia in that aspect, but a 200 mph car that doesn't "look" like a 200mph car... yeah, that's up my alley for sure...

Would I drive or would I buy???
I would drive the heck out of it and not be ashamed.
I would never buy one however.

Caddy leaning towards the Audi look, I dig it.
Posted on 2/1/21 at 9:42 am to goofball
it looks like an accord. but I like the drivetrain

I would drive it for sure but I probably would not buy one.
