Amazing, one more 5BW delivered in time for our GTA spring meetup. Would love to see some 4BWs there as well tbh.

Which Dealers you boys buy from?

Frost Cadillac in Brampton, fantastic dealer.

So my car was picked up by truck from the factory US today and is currently tracking in Milton!! May come off the truck tonight.

Did you happen to see a black with bronze wheels on the same truck??

Chances are that his Dealer took these photos and not him

I'm sorry I didn't see any other 5s on the truck, There may have been a 4BW but tbh I was pretty distracted.

I arrived 10 minutes before the truck did and got to take many pics and videos haha

I debated caliper colours for a long time but in the end I am very glad I went with Bronze as a nice alternative to the red most ppl get.

The only problem I have with this wheel style is trying to clean the inside of wheels and behind the spokes. Its a little tedious and hard to get in there, but they do look beautiful when in motion.

I wanted bronze calipers but they were on constraint when my order went in.

The red calipers arent finished in your typical red, they have a deep metallic candy cherry color. One of the best colors Ive seen in a while on a caliper. Its hard to tell this from most of the photos out there.

You need to be all over your Dealer about this. Dealers make all the difference. My car was built months after NewD’s and yet it arrived 2 months earlier… all thanks to my Dealer

Went to the Canadian Auto Show today and Cadillac is displaying a 4BW and a 5BW, both in Dark Emerald Frost, a colour I never thought I would see in real life. Incredible in person.

I do have to note, this being my first time I actually spent some time sitting in these cars, that the interior is almost offensively laden with cheap hard plastic including in frequent touch areas like the centre console. I think anyone buying a BW would gladly pay the extra what, $5k to get better plastics or possibly more surfaces covered in leather, like the extended leather package BMW sells.

Am I nuts? I was almost shocked by how crappy some of the materials were. Especially when placed so close to premium stuff like CF and alcantara (sorry, Speed Cloth or whatever the correct term is).

I mean your not wrong but it's Caddilac not a Benz/BMW.

The ct5 blackwing manual version is really great imo and unique.

I personally own a ct6v blackwing and from seeing the ct5 BW they cheaped out on alot of stuff... I'm not going to get into it because I don't want to piss of my fellow BW drivers.

The ct5v bw is overpriced by alot for what you get interior wise but engine/manual is what ur paying for imo. The new sound system is atrocious, why drop the 36 speaker panaray from the last BW? no rear infotainment system ect.. ect..

Also living in Canada why only RW as an option for the top tier car? Maybe they'll add this option in later.

I just hope they release another full sized sedan, im a huge fan of the v8 engines (supercharged and twin turbo).
