Launch Timeframe

As of this writing, dealer inventory of 2021 Cadillac CT4 models is sparse due to the ongoing microchip shortage, which appears to be impacting the GM Lansing Grand River plant that assembles the CT4. We recommend checking with your dealer about availability of models coated in the new Infrared TIntocat paint.

  1. Charging extra for almost all colors is a ripoff. Even economy cars do not charge extra for their colors.

      Check all of Cadillacs competing brands. ALL OF THEM charge extra ( more than Cadillac charges) for all but a couple of basic colors.

      1. Just because they charge “extra”, doesn’t make it “right”.

        1. So you want GM/Cadillac to put itself at a disadvantage financially just because you think it’s a “ripoff”?

          I’ll tell you this: if you can not afford an additional $1K for a color when buying a luxury car, you should not be buying a luxury car. Go get yourself a front-drive Hyundai instead.

  2. This looks like old news as the Lansing Grand River plant has been shut down since March 15 and is not scheduled to restart until June 28. There may still be some Blackwing production but not CT4 or CT5. I had an order for a CT5 V sent in January 28 and the car has not been built; status code 3400 for months. The email with this info has a link to the same information on the closure: “Chevy Camaro, Cadillac CT4 And CT5 Production Stopped Until End Of June”
