ANTAUS Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Lost about 300lbs, not bad at all considering they are using the same platform. The engine is seen to be weak though, considering it would equal what the MKX puts out, but the MKX has the optional 335/380 EB. I do like the styling, and the interior is visually interesting in shapes and forms, but from what a friend of mine that works at the repair shop at a Cadillac dealer, tells me they age just as badly as the old Saturn Vue.

akirby Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Don't like the vertical headlights. That tan dash would be a deal breaker - hopefully there is a black option available. I like the rest. Edited November 10, 2015 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Like "totally"? ;-) Verticle lights hark to the '65-'68 Caddys. This is their most competitive product, since most lux buyers now want these big pods, CUV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don't like the vertical headlights. That tan dash would be a deal breaker - hopefully there is a black option available. I like the rest. Agree totally. The headlights look too small for the vehicle, and the vertical pipes aren't helping. Yeah, that's the first time I've seen the interior.....they went the complete opposite of the typical color scheme - they made the dash tan and lower parts black. It looks odd to me. Don't like the center air vents or steering wheel either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 CT5 is around 180 lbs lighter than MKX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Agree totally. The headlights look too small for the vehicle, and the vertical pipes aren't helping. Neither is the very large grille. But this is still a considerable improvement over the SRX. Edited November 18, 2015 by grbeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypsocoral Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 That's an insanely-high belt-line, even for an SUV... Just the height from the chin spoiler up to the top of the hood must be a good 4 feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
