[spool twice]

the interior is compromised in terms of plastics, yes I understand modern cars have plastic interiors...

- But the door card of the standard CT5 has hard touch lower door panel plastics, a reverse of the last gen CTS which had vinyl/soft touch injection molded plastics that had a "wrapped" look with its contrast stitching.

- The center console tunnel can be flexed right/left

But honestly for the price, its a great deal. I love the styling, it has road presence IMHO even in standard form, and the standard CT5-V drives great, the blackwing should only be better. GM does magnetic suspension tuning very very well!

I only wish they didn't go so subtle with the styling cues, the last gen CTS had aggressive upgrades, hood bulge, side skirts, etc etc where you knew it was a CTS-V right away.

The CT-4 looks great as well, until you see the diaper on the back end (trunk lid). It looks droopy in person, which makes you wonder why they didn't mimic the CT-5's rear end in the license plate frame area.
