Sing this when considering a purchase:

“Look for the union label...”

Almost forgot, mine is 630HP

Never liked all the angles on the recent Caddy models, they look like Batmobiles.

Or, you could have gotten this V-16 for a bit over $8,000:

[jdsteel]

Looks cool.

I’d never spend that on a car.

“in 10 minutes. That’s enough time for a bathroom break, provided you didn’t recently eat at Taco Bell.”

lol. Didn’t see that.

[Mariner]

There just aren’t enough stupid people to pay $300k for an electric car.

The should have gone with twin turbo v-12 and 950HP.

Electric cars are for the wealthy. Most Americans view them as a very bad deal, or can’t afford them.

I have two orders in for GM cars (after passing for now on McLaren). My first car put on order was a 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (668hp). And the second was a 2023 Corvette Z06 (670hp). Neither has come in yet, but I got a call from the Cadillac dealership in Lakeland, FL and a CT5-V Blackwing came in and the buyer had already bought one on the after market and passed on it. The next person in line for a CT5 Blackwing passed saying they would wait for the exact car they wanted. I was next in line and bought it in November 2023, but still kept my order open for what I really wanted. I may never get that one.

The Corvette Z06 backlog is huge, and there are contract prohibitions on buying one and flipping it before 6 months. Some are coming up now for $100K-+ premiums. Cadillac CT5 Blackwings are still hard to find and are coming up for up to $50K premiums.

My Blackwing is still under the breakin period and the red line is 2,000 under normal. Still, it will break the rear tires loose at 60 mph. No EV for me!

This is what my Blackwing looks like, it is a 206 mph sleeper car:

“Electric cars are for the wealthy.”

Considering their price and operational costs, no one but upper middle class and above can afford them. If they were such a great value the pizza delivery drivers would all have them.

[Texas resident]

Toyotas are hard to beat.

Look at any footage of middle east terrorists.

They all drive Toyota Tacoma trucks.

[CodeToad]

Well, that’s all they can get for trucks. Dodge and Ford ain’t going over there.

Golf cart

[CodeToad]

I want the new Stingray but I’ll wait until next year. If the world holds together then by Spring I’ll put in an order and wait.

[Does so]

Made in China?

[nicollo]

its sleek lines, sweeping roof, and bustle rear end give it dynamic proportions and jaw-dropping presence.

Native ad. Be gone.

[slouper]

300K POS.

[FrozenAssets]

It is still an Obamamobile.

Don’t have a Cadillac dealer here anymore because of limited sales & outrageous prices. Plus a dealer would likely need a huge reinvestment just to be able to offer sales & service on this thing. Most people people could not afford to own a Celestiq if someone gave it to them.
