My seat-of-pants suggests that, among these big ‘uns, only the Jaguar and frisky new BMW 7 Series play a similar dynamic tune to the CT6. Some of those competitors become Titanics to the CT6’s PT Boat: powerful and stateroom elegant, but less likely to dodge the iceberg. But backing Cadillac’s promise, the CT6 handles more like a midsize sport sedan, in part because it’s decisively lighter than other luxury flagships. The CT6 is nearly as long as an S-Class or Audi A8L, and every bit as quiet and solid-feeling. And defying my early hunch, Cadillac’s new, full-size flagship is anything but a consolation prize, as journeys through Los Angeles and the Cuyamaca Mountains east of San Diego recently made clear. If you don’t have six figures to spend-and really, the German flagships are all $115,000 cars by the time the salesman is done with you-there are nearly no options that aren’t as boring to look at as they are to drive.

O.K., big shot, how about a Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series, or a Jaguar XJ to match a Savile Row suit?Īll right, now you’re trying my patience. Ah, so you’re one of those holdouts: You want a big sedan with an even bigger back seat instead of a swollen SUV.
