The D-segment luxury car segment contracted 28 percent to 45,015 units in Q1 2022, meaning CT5 sales outperformed the segment average by a narrow margin.
The GM Authority Take
The decrease in Cadillac CT5 sales during the first quarter of 2022 was once again the direct result of a lack of inventory as a result of production being severely hampered by the ongoing global semiconductor microchip shortage throughout a solid portion of the 2021 calendar year. Though Cadillac CT5 production resumed in October 2021 at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, we posit that inventory wasn’t sufficient throughout the first quarter of 2022 to represent true market demand for the CT5.
Going forward, the key to increasing Cadillac CT5 sales will be to ship enough models to dealers to meet demand for the luxury sedan family, including the CT5, CT5-V, and CT5-V Blackwing.
As a reminder, the CT5-V is the mid-tier performance model, while the V-Series Blackwing is the ultra-high-performance variant. The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing has sold well, and Cadillac recently announced the 120th Anniversary Edition to commemorate the founding of the luxury marque in 1902. The release of the special edition follows the release of the Collector Series, which stands apart from the rest of the lineup as one the first 250 CT5-V Blackwing units produced.

Since it’s not an ev or an Escalade don’t expect these numbers to improve much for the rest of 2023
Oh, I bet Mary wanted those chips in those 3,343 CT5 models sold in the first quarter for Silverado’s and Escalades .
I recently received my 2022 CT5. After my 2021 CT5 order was canceled. I heard it through the grapevine that Cadillac was concentrating on the V and Blackwing series, and the trucks and suv sales. My CT5 was a base model. I love the car, but have never had to wait a year to get one.
Karrpilot: Your story is kind of the norm for now because all brands (not just GM and/or Cadillac) are concentrating on the higher priced and best selling models in order to increase profits. We all need to remember that with the lack of micro-chips, they need to optimize what they do have because all brands are down on sales overall. At least if they concentrate on the higher profit and higher selling models, they can still turn a profit.
This doesn’t make me happy nor I’m sure many others. But for now, it’s what we all have to work with.
True, But Tesla has the market on EV’s. GM needs to Retool these EV plants to capitalize on their best sellers. As far as their Concentration on Higher priced Vehicles, they’re All High Priced. These EV’s are a Nitch Vehicle for a narrow market, like CNG was. People will not buy what they don’t want, they will shop a Brand to find the one. Brand Loyalty is History with Milliniels, and the alphabet generations. Baby Boomers are the last breed on Earth that still have Brand Loyalty. I see a lot of Doom & Gloom articles on GM and their management, but my remarks are not based on that, but there’s a Lot of Red in these articles. Remember the Old Saying from back in the Day. “The country Goes as General Motors Goes”
I’ve seen more v6/V CT5 on sale then 2.0 models recently.
The 3.0TT is very fun and satisfying.
Took me about 6 months to get my CT V
I love it but not the price lots of power and space for my family
Inventory shortages, It’s Mary! Retooling car plants that built good American vehicles, to EV, which are the poorest seller of all the Makes, It’s Mary. Continuing to blame Chips for Inventory problems, It’s Mary. Mary, Lead, Follow, or get the Hell out of the Way. Give your employee’s a chance to survive.
Robert,
Not true anymore; the country does not go as General Motors goes. When GM sold 50 percent of the cars in America and was the largest company in the country with a vast network of plants and employees all that was true. They are a bit player now with less than 15 percent market share and are not nearly as important to the US economy. If gm goes away, there wouldn’t be nearly as much of an economic impact given that many products are built in Mexico now with parts from China and elsewhere and other carmakers have taken the market share that gm gave away,
When I was a kid in Georgia, there were two GM plants in Atlanta and our family knew many people that worked in those facilities. If GM had gone bankrupt, the impact would’ve been huge. Today there are no gm plants. Instead we have a Kia plant in Georgia with Rivian coming soon. In neighboring states, there are plants for BMW, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Volkswagen, Nissan and more. Those plants were not in existence years ago. While we have more automotive plants in the South, gm is largely gone and unimportant to the economy. The situation is the same in many other states across the nation. The fact is gm just doesn’t matter as much to America anymore.
I concur Robert! My family is sold on Toyota / Leuxs today! We as a family simply don’t have time to be beta testers. We buy our cars, trucks and SUVs and keep them. 200K plus miles is the norm. While some are hitting 300K.
My last GM was a rebadged Oldsmobile labeled as a Caddilac Seville. Decent car, but the Toyota Civic and Cressida that came later forever changed our opinion on so-called American Made Brands.
I suspect the Grand Kids love the Trendy stuff like Challenger and Charger. But GM simply has nothing appealing except Trucks. So long God Motors.
Bfree4me,
What year Seville? I know of no Cadillac Seville that was simply a “rebadged” Oldsmobile although there were Oldsmobile Toronado models derived from the same E/K-Body platforms as the Seville for a couple of the the five generations that Seville was produced. Specifically from 1980 to 1985 and from 1986 to 1991, the Seville used the same platform as the Toronado but they were quite different products and the Cadillac was not even close to being a rebadge of the Oldsmobile.
Of course Toyota does the same thing today with many Lexus models like the ES being merely upgraded Toyotas using the same platform and drivetrain. Further, what Toyota does is perhaps worse because when GM did build Sevilles off the same architecture as the Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick Riviera, those were also premium-level luxury products that sat atop the Buick and Oldsmobile lineups and also sold for high prices. By contrast the Lexus ES is built from the bones of Toyota’s high volume, low-priced Camry.

You have no interest in GM vehicles. So why are you on a GM site, trying to convince people the generic crap sells here is American?
You’re Wrong Pete! I’m Old School, from a different time and place. “As GM goes, So goes the Country! If you’ve never heard that saying, you’re to young to Criticize Anyone. I’ve always been a GM supporter. Bought my first one in 1964, a ’57 Chevy, 210, 2dr. Htop, 283 Power Pac. Great Car and Greater Value now. GM has put all their eggs in one basket for EV. Look at the Engine problems, Deletes, Production Shortages, Empty Dealer Lots. I’m not an EV Fan at all, but you have to admit, Musk & Tesla have “Smoked” All EV Manufactures. Concentrate on what got you to the dance, not chasing a Government Credit program. Reliability, Longevity, Depression Value, Dependability, still “Trump” Gimics & Gizmo’s
Robert Adams
A lot has changed since the last time you poked your head out of your cave. Hundreds of new industries have popped up. The U.S. is no longer as dependent on GM, and GM no longer has to deal with every penny-pinching asshole who can’t tell the difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Kia.
Yes, you remember the GM days, before 1974, when GM wasn’t actively trying to Kill brands and Kill Americans. GM now stands for Gruesome Murder.
I remember REO Speedwagon came out with Roll with the Changes in 1978
“GM is the EV Leader”
Says GM CEO Mary Barra, but she’ll say anything for her $20 Million Dollar Bonus. GM has been at the forefront of design and manufacture that enables their car to Kill. So lets look at it another way:
GM stock – $40
Tesla stock – $1,000
