Cadillac CT6 Mini-Review, my thoughts in general and compared to the LS460

It's also cheaper to manufacture. Never underestimate the power of cost-cutting in the auto industry, even with small items.

The logo change has nothing to do with cost cutting. The cost to redesign and retool for the new emblem is more than any marginal cost savings to make it and apply it.
agree though, preferred the old emblem although I'm warming up to the new one.

Cadillac's old symbol definitely looked more regal to me so I still miss it.
Eh...I think the interior is price appropriate.

Have you sat in the car? That interior is appropriate for a $75,000+ car? Way nicer cars you can buy for $75,000.
Like I said, it's fine at $65,000, but doesn't hold up in the TT level.

The new one is simpler and cheaper to produce, but I agree that it is probably not a significant factor in total-vehicle cost-cutting.The reason I said never underestimate cost-cutting, though, in my last post, is that it is indeed taken to such small issues.

No offense but you also think having the speedometer in the center of the dash is cost cutting too ignoring the reality of all the other stamping changes that need to be made to move the steering wheel from one side of the dashboard to the other
The logo change is not cost cutting. Changing the logo costs money, it doesn't save money.

I may (?) have to come out to your neck of the woods (or out to Landover) to actually get the CT6 test-drive done. The roads are all screwed up with traffic, construction, gravel, and repaving around Arlington, and Chantilly doesn't have enough CT6s in stock to really choose from.
