Expect this for the CT5-Blackwing? - whatever they call it, but with more carbon fiber, and some Recaro's and a rumored 6-Speed Manual
That interior does nothing better than the CTS. I see the same GM plastic buttons, and the panel fitment is poor from the photos alone. Look at the gap between the glovebox and the wood trim on the upper left, or the gap between the right edge of the glovebox and its adjacent panel.

GM can benchmark BMW all they want, but the CT5 will suffer the same fate on the market the CTS did. There are no customers for a high performance Cadillac; they won't poach German buyers nor retain Cadillac people.
