The CT6 will be the first in an onslaught of Cadillac products, part of a $12 billion campaign to turn the brand around. Why Cadillac is showing a teaser is beyond me, since the car got its debut during a Super Bowl ad that plays constantly on major networks.

So, that other website has released the CT6 early, and big surprise, it looks like a LWB CTS. YAWN.
Pretty excited for this. The CTS bested the competition on the track and real world driving. Looking forward to test driving this down Woodward!
It's a six-window greenhouse, not four like the CTS or ATS. It's also MUCH MUCH BIGGER than the CTS. The new platform shows in the size. But I don't feel like, at least from the few photos so far, it has the charisma of the cars Cadillac says it wants to compete against -- the A7s and CLSes of the world. Instead my first impression is that Cadillac has given us the second-generation CTS again, but one size up -- a "tweener" that competes in size with the full-size Germans but in prestige only with the midsizers. To succeed, they'll have to price it like the midsizers. But that's right on top of their MSRP range for the current CTS. Unfortunately that means we'll have to listen to Deadweight further exaggerate the large discounts Cadillac will need to offer.
The only three alpha-named Cadillacs I would buy are: ETC, DTS and STS. Just took delivery of the 2000 ETC last evening. Considered ordering the California license plates SST STS (the configuration is still available) for future use. I'm in southern California, where all the third-world lowlifes drive Kias and Hyundais - they don't know what an American car is! Still love those final year 2011 DTS machines! The "name" CT6 is absolutely ridiculous (Anderson Cooper, get this on your ridiculist!)... If a "CTS" is a thing, then it somehow follows that CT6 is a smaller CTS with a V6 engine, which the CTS already has. Someone get that Mr. deKnowNuthing Cadillac General Manager out of GM and back to the JapCr*p company he already destroyed. He can then finish turning Inifintis into Datsuns again.
