Keymaster@Bob Sounds like you need to expand your search. Go to Cadillac’s new vehicle inventory search tool and use it to do a nationwide search for a model that’s most suitable for you. You. can access the post here:
https://www.cadillac.com/shopping/inventory/searchKeymaster@Sun007 well that’s not great. Did you have the gas or diesel engine, and did they say what’s wrong with the engine?
KeymasterI second @Kemo. Probably just a relay that will need to get reseated. Ought to be a pretty quick fix for a dealer.
KeymasterWow, that’s pretty disappointing news. Did they tell you why it couldn’t be fixed?
KeymasterAh, I see what you mean. It’s certainly not an unreasonable way of thinking.
That said, the delay in Super Cruise in the Lyriq (based on what I know) is related to delays in testing the system to GM’s standards. In other words, they need to put on a few hundred thousand Super Cruise miles on the final integrated prototypes, which obviously requires time. To that end, the team didn’t have the full amount of time for that since the launch timeframe for the Lyriq was moved up by nearly a year.
All in, I would be shocked if the scenario that you described ends up taking place. What I see taking place is that they’ll fully validate Super Cruise and launch it once that’s complete.
KeymasterI’m not in a similar situation, but I understand what you mean.
If Super Cruise is your concern, then may I suggest doing a test drive of an existing Cadillac model with Super Cruise, such as the Escalade, CT4 or CT5. The Super Cruise system in those models will function mostly (if not entirely) the same as the one in the Lyriq.
KeymasterYes, production of the CT5-V Blackwing will continue after the 120th anniversary edition, which is a special edition that has no impact on the future of the line.
KeymasterYup, orders for both the Lyriq RWD and AWD will open on May 19th.
Here are some more details on both models as far as features are concerned:
KeymasterI think it’s perfectly drivable as a daily driver, especially with the auto. Those with the stick should really want to shift. If that doesn’t sound all that appealing for a daily, then it’s probably best to go with the auto.
KeymasterNicely done, Pat and congratulations on an awesome vehicle!
KeymasterCongrats on the great car!
I’m a fan of the XT4 and am glad you and your wife are liking yours!
KeymasterHi Joe. Thanks for the question and sorry we didn’t get to it in time before you took delivery.
Yup, the transit wheels are typically the “standard” / base wheels on Cadillac models.
Glad you’re enjoying it and congrats on the XT4!
KeymasterYeah, this tends to happen on occasion.
Sometimes, the wait times are really (really) long. It took three months to build my ATS. The virus likely added a good two months to your order (because of the downtime) at the plant.
Did your dealer give you an order number?
KeymasterYeah, I didn’t care for the run flats on my ATS Sedan Premium when I got it. They make what is otherwise an excellent car quite noisy and limit its adhesion. Replaced them with Pilot Super Sports about 500 miles into my ownership. They are amazing on the ATS.
Obviously, the only problem is that there is no spare. That’s what I have roadside assistance for, which is part of the bumper-to-bumper warranty on the vehicle. When the warranty runs out, a good way to get it is through your insurance or, alternatively, via the cheapest OnStar plan.
