Comments
This color combo doesn’t do it. looks more like a conventional Taurus type sedan than an upscale Cadillac. It’s amazing how a color combination can cause a car to lose it’s most distinguishing characteristics.
Eh, its not bad. White and black is one of the most popular themes and color combos to do to a car these days. I’m sure it will sell. Sell well? Probably not.
I like it, but for 100k? I could buy a C7 and have enough left over for an ATS sedan.
It doesn’t need to “sell well”. It’s a limited-run color and a limited-run options package.
If you haven’t seen this car and color in person, you do not know the intricate details that it presents.
Cadillac is only making 99 in this color, selling them won’t be a problem!
29 CTS-Vs in this color… these will be collectors items.
I hope they bring back Black Diamond for the new CTS-V.
That’s a super HOT color!
Color is fine, but nothing special other then the paint job; all the other options are available on any CTS.
Exclusive white leather seats, now there would be an interesting option.
This combo looks fantastic with the saffron interior and the Recaros. I saw this at NAIAS in January.
Only problem is the maintenance of a low gloss colour.
