This is very typical of GM, and the end result will be the very same: another Cadillac that won't sell even with thousands on the hood.
They'll do a couple things right and but the attention to detail is lacking due to GM's inherent corporate structure. They have a budget and will throw some nice materials in the interior, but the general switchgear, panel fitment, etc. are lackluster. You can easily see in this video how wide the panel gaps are in the CT5's interior. Then they'll do the steering well but totally screw up the powertrain. The overall engineering of the vehicle is inherently inferior.
Throw in terrible residuals, no brand equity especially among millennials, poor reliability, and a declining sedan market and you have the perfect recipe for another disaster for the Cadillac division. I guarantee it.
