General Motors product chief Mark Reuss has already said the 2016 Cadillac CT6 will be the “most advanced vehicle technologically in the world,” and thanks to an Automobile Magazine source, we now know what some of those new technologies might consist of.
The CT6 will reportedly have a large infotainment screen very similar or identical to the one seen in the Buick Avenir concept along with two more screens in the back of the front seat headrests, also like the Avenir. The standard lever-style gear shifter won’t make an appearance in the CT6, with Cadillac opting for a T-shaped electronic gear selector.
Most importantly, Automobile’s source said the CT6’s interior looks like it belongs to a $100,000 car, which is close to what we expect the car to cost. Other exciting feaures to debut on the car include GM’s full-size rear-wheel drive Omega architecture, its nine-speed automatic transmission for RWD applications and a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
The CT6 will break cover on March 31st, so be sure to check back for additional information.

Ok! Now I’m officially hyped for the CT6!!! The interior being reflective of a $100,000 car is like music to my ears! Let’s see if the quality is in every detail; if features such as soft closing doors, power headrests, power trunk, massage seating, reclining rear seats, a revised and pleasant infotainment system along with an advanced 3.0TT V6 makes it to production and elevate Cadillac to new heights!!!
With the CT6 being the most technologically advanced vehicle ever from Cadillac, General Motors and the World. This should start returning Cadillac to be represented again as its slogan has been for many decades, “The Standard Of The World” ! The 2016 Cadillac CT6 should reinstate Cadillac to that level once again and I believe it will !! We will soon see after it is revealed at the 2015 New York Auto Show!!
To be the standard you must first set the standard and be the standard in all areas not just one car. Other wise you’re critics will pick you apart.
This car is not the end all be all fix here but it will be the next step back to where they need to be. The play book changed long after this car was started and where it once was a flagship it was determined that was not good enough.
This will be one of the best Cadillac’s ever but we still have many models and many changes to come. So enjoy this car and what it brings as only a hint to where this is all going.
Can`t wait I need a new car.
The CT6 isn’t going to solve all of Cadillacs problems but it sounds like a good first step . The 100g’s I believe will be the top of the line . Even an Escalade doesn’t hit that price point yet . But what is going to fill the gap between a CTS and the CT6 ? The XTS will soldier on for maybe another year or two , but that hole in the product line needs to be filled . I still think if Cadillac were to give the XTS a more updated front clip and maybe a differnet instrument panel it would be alright . JMO One thing for sure , I am checking all the auto sites to see who gets the first un-camoed pic or spy photo of the XT6.
If the CT6 does not have at least one V8 option, it will be DOA. I’m tired of no V8 Cadillacs, and I’m not talking about the V Series (CTS, the ATS will be V6) which will start at ,000. Cadillac needs V8’s. Hell, you can buy a Chrysler, Hyundai, Dodge, Lexus, BMW, MB, Audi, Jag, Kia, all with V-8’s………………
a few things, 1 this car will have an optional v8 which is heard to be a DOHC so I wouldn’t worry…It will also have a 3.0L twin turbo charged v6 so whats not to like either way? This car is bigger than the CTS and will be more luxurious so it will have plenty to differentiate from the CTS. I’d say this car will start around 70K.
The key here is this cars weight is the same as a smaller CTS. That is the real step forward here and we will see more of this. The Germans biggest weakness is weight.

I saw the new CT6 on youtube. I will have to see it in person and know the details. Not a bad looking car but not one that really stands out at least in the commercial.
I believe too much is put into the slogan and name as the car is where the real magic happens. I feel this car is a little short of what it needed to be styling wise but I also remember that it was done long before the Cadillac mission really got the push it needed.
While not ground breaking it is better than what they have posted here. Less square.
