"...new Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen recently said, "CT6 is not positioned against S-Class, 7 Series or [Audi] A8.

...There will be at least 2 models that will stand above the upcoming CT6.

Ghosts, Wraits, Phantoms and Mulsannes will be trembling with fear by now...

Johan got one look at what Cadillac had planned and immediately knew that Cadillac doesn't have a chance in hell at topping those cars, especially he S-Class and A8.

The S is a top dog, agree. But the A8,7 etc.. They are beatable.

Not yet, but who knows what tomorrow will bring for Cadillac.
At least I'm sure, it won't bring the shifter from the 02' passat:

"...new Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen recently said, "CT6 is not positioned against S-Class, 7 Series or [Audi] A8. It will have more advanced technology, better dynamics, similar refinement but it is smaller."

It will have more advanced technology and better dynamics than the German flagships?

My ass is already a modest size, please, Cadillac, don't make me laugh it completely off!

Well I can tell u that the upcoming cts V will eat the m5/63(even the 2016 w213) alive.

 

[Merc1]

You don't know that and no car in these segments beat another that badly anymore.

[Mr.Black]

Let's wait and see.

 

[Merc1]

Exactly, because it won't happen. They've already chickened out on this used to be S-Class competitor.

So you've created another profile.

Stop using random close parenthesis...they give you away.

Will go head-to-head with long-wheelbase versions of the BMW 7-Series & Mercedes S-Class
"We've been hearing about the Cadillac CT6for years but it appears the company has just approved an even more luxurious flagship sedan.

According to Reuters, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen has confirmed a new range-topping model will be launched by 2020 and go head-to-head with long-wheelbase versions of the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series and Mercedes S-Class. Little is known about the model but de Nysschen hinted it could be called either the CT8 or CT9.

Besides talking about the new flagship, de Nysschen said the company is considering a pure electric vehicle. He also reiterated the company is working on an ELR successor but it might not be a two door coupe.

Sources have also told the publication that the company's Audi A3 / Mercedes CLA competitor could go into production in 2018 and be based on the Chevrolet Cruze. That model's platform is also rumored to underpin the company's entry-level crossover which is slated to arrive 2017."

Eh, 2020...

 

[Merc1]

So now we have to wait another 5 years for a true S-Class competitor. Great. The S-Class will be facelifted and heading towards a re-design by then. Good luck. GM = Failure.

Well, it does not mean that the 2020 Caddy will aim the outgoing by that time w222. I think, we're talking about the next gen here(w223).

"...head-to-head with long-wheelbase versions of the Audi A8..."
So I guess, it will fight against the German LWB top dogs. Or maybe above them(Bentley, Rolls).
And don't forget about the big gt coupe(elmiraj). There is a big chance they will produce it before that time(2020).

It seems that Cadillac tries to make its own way and I like it. Also will be a supercar.

 

[Merc1]

They have no clue what the W223 will be so they can't aim at that. Cadillac isn't Audi or BMW they have zilch in this segment now so they don't have a chance in hell of leapfrogging the W222. That is the car they were studying now.

Most of that is just a pipe dream, this is GM we're talking about.

Yes, but it does not prevent them from doing their own developments and technologies... Let's wait for the Ct6. If it's a failure then probably u speak the truth...

It was marked for failure before it was developed. GM is not capable of building a car like the S-Class. Their culture won't allow it. Johann knows this which is why they're now saying the CT6 won't challenge the S-Class. For a true S fighter will have to wait for another car 5 more years.
