Thank god its 220K KMs, I assume many people woulda flipped if it was a concours level low milage 996~ or maybe not since it is a 996 not a 993

Honestly it's the guy's money, if rwb works for him, good for him lolol I dont like it, but I respect it.

I also spend stupid money for worthless shit in other people's minds, meh~

i didn't know there were any. Nakai-san said a long time ago he wouldn't do them. the cars are too cheap and too plentiful.

This video caused a lot of controversy. But the install was only temporary.

RWV destroy the car but this somehow makes a 996 look even worse than most of these lol

Maybe it's the colour scheme but yea it doesn't look as nice as other rwb and I'm sure you can just build your own for less than that. Just buy a 996 turbo for like $60 then you still got $80 to play with

At that price, it's definitely an auto.
The manuals are in the 90-100k CAD range.

Low key great engine but they are very much a boat.
The next gen ones much better, chassis/body designed by ex-E39 engineers.

Really, I had no idea of the value of these, I already thought listing price of $55K was high. What do I know.

6MT Wagons go for ~60k in the US an on their way up
6AT Wagons go for ~40k in the US
A lot of available ones were sold to GM employees and have all sorts of weird option combos; they figured out their breakeven for doing a V-wagon variant was 90 cars and did a very limited production run.

FWIW 2G CTS-V it's an internet fanboi special - doesn't drive that great, interior hella squeaks and rattles, tiny cargo area.
4G CTS-V Blackwing is where the car was really became a reborn/better E39 M5.

I was looking at black wing cars, but then you're at over $100k for an American interior, quality.

Newest CT5 basically aped the F generation BMWs but with better tech - layout and materials are shockingly similar.
If you're diehard manual, it's rly the only thing with V8 manual left.

I think they have a general image problem more than a quality problem now.
Lyriq / Escalade IQ / Vistiq are changing this pretty quickly though.

Cadillac interiors are actually not bad now. I honestly could recommend it to anyone looking into getting good value out of a domestic. They will never be up to snuff to their Japanese or European competitors, but it's gotten a lot better.

Been seeing a couple people in my friend circle really consider Chevy/Cadillac EVs
& these are like S2000 / EP3 / FG2 owners

Honourable mention to Lincoln. The cab company we use to pick us up from home to the airport showed up in a Lincoln Continental and the interior felt like you were sitting in a fancy American steakhouse. Was quite nice. I can't speak to their current line of SUVs, unfortunately.

I feel Lincoln can't compare to Lexus, especially the Continental.
Navigator doesn't compare to Escalade.
Aviator doesn't compare to X5 nor does the Corsair to the X3.

The Nautilus, however, is very much the new Lexus RX.
Roomy, great tech, comfy, hybrid, great pricing.

Corsair PHEV AWD is imo a great alternative to RAV4 Prime and NX though (again, Toyota system)

Too many drivetrain issues with Ford/Lincoln, otherwise when the Aviator(lux Explorer) Hybrid came out it was very intriguing. I love the Lincoln exterior styling.

The Americans have caught up imo, but it's a little late and they need to time to reverse their image. The constant churn though, doesn't help their case. It's been too much of "are they going to keep making this car/nameplate"

The Aviator is realllly problematic.

With Ford, the hybrids must be the ones that are using the Toyota system (Maverick, Corsair, Escape).
