Launch Timeframe
As of this writing, dealers are well-stocked with the 2019 Cadillac CTS-V, since the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Lansing, Michigan has been assembling and shipping the 2019 model to dealers for the past several weeks. Models coated in Velocity Red can already be found on dealer lots. Availability varies by dealer, so check with yours for complete details.

The 2019 model year will be the last of the third-generation CTS-V, as the model is getting replaced with two vehicles: the 2019 CT6-V (previously called Cadillac CT6 V-Sport) as well as the future Cadillac CT5-V.

dated and boring
Oh, is your car better?
Oh, the competitors are better. Idiot)))
Poorly shot photo because of cloud cover, How can one tell how vivid it is?
They have to stop this summer tire shit, we live in the NE.
If you are serious about owning this car or a car like it while driving it year-round in four-season climates, then you should also be serious about getting another set of wheels and tires for the winter.
Complaining that the CTS-V has summer tires is like complaining that your base Chevy Colorado can’t wade three feet of water in stock form. Get with the program.
While I fully understand John’s frustration, I am inclined to agree with Alex that a performance car is meant to have performance tires. I have owned 3 CTS-Vs – an ’05 sedan, an ’09 sedan, and a ’14 coupe – and the summer only tires made them virtually undriveable in snow or ice, and I don’t think having AWD on future Vs will make much difference (although I am looking forward to trying it out). Changing out the wheels and tires helps solve the problem, but it also changes the performance. Unlike John, I live in the mid-Atlantic, and there are some really nice driving days during the 4 or 5 months that you would have the alternative wheels and tires on. I would just as soon keep the performance level the Cadillac engineers intended, and drive something else or catch a ride on days when the weather demands it. In the NE, where the weather is a more frequent problem, drivers like John probably need to go with a different set of tires.
I live in Chicago and I’m with John. I wish that for what we are paying for, all season AND summer tires came with vehicles like these. If you live where there is sun year-round you may delete the all season set.
