I'm waiting for the Acura MDX S Type twin turbo. V6 won't turn that much horsepower.

I am glad that Acura is trying to build slightly sportier versions of their underwhelming front drive cars and vans. Their fanboys will undoubtedly love it.

The Cadillac V series, BMW M cars, or the Audi RS products will blow the doors off of it.

The Acura MDX is a great vehicle if you have no intention of owning anything fun. People buy those as family haulers. And the MDX will serve them well for years.

I like the speed aspect and the car looks pretty good but like so many other sedans today it is not very distinctive. If I saw it coming down the road I would not have any idea what manufacturer it was.

It doesn't look a lot different from this Volvo LINK or this Avalon LINK

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.


Not sure I would call 200mph easily the fastest. The Panamera Turbo S is good for 196 and knowing Porsche that is probably conservative with enough tarmac. The Flying Spur and BMW Alpina B7 are both good for 207 and 205 respectively. I think the Hellcat Redeye is listed over 200 as well. Will be interested in seeing the actual figure.

Tremec will be supplying a 6 speed manual for this monster, which should sufficiently embarrass the already stellar BMW M5.


Part of me does lament the passing of the three-pedal car but the newest slushboxes and especially the dual-clutch trannys are just so bloody fast, especially around the track.

Cadillac just confirmed a 200mph+ top speed and 668 horsepower.

the back end looks amazing. like a space age G8.

I knew they couldn't let that old SS die so easily.

added a supercharger and tacked on 35k to the price.

The wide tires with staggered sizes look awesome.

Their high performance sedans are very nice.
You don't think you're moving as fast as the speedo shows and handling is good.

Honestly, who drives this shite? I know people like to measure their dicks, but this is getting stupid. If you can’t drive fast enough with half that you have a real problem. How fast can you possibly go from 20 to 80 mph in the real world?

It will certainly beat the class benchmark aka M5 in top speed but the M5 will destroy it in 0-anywhere under the M5's top speed. That said the M5 costs ~20k more. The more interesting thing to me will be the track times for the two.

I would with that much power and luxury and I don’t really like Cadillacs. Sort of looks like a red Honda Accord.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love my 2014 CTS Vsport. It’s the little brother to the CTSV. It is pushed by a 3.6 twin turbo V6, pumping out 420/430.
