Cadillac Blackwings (WAS: CT5-V with LT4 and MT)
While not 100% confirmed, looks like the upcoming CT5-V LT4 may let the manual transmission live on a little longer.

I'm seriously considering this as my next "Grandpa Car". If I do will definitely get the MT to help support the cause. Might be one of the last chances to get an MT in this type car.

I was honestly trying to figure out what market segment this car sits in, but I guess it's right in front of me. Cool Grandpa Spec.

So you can't tell the speed and heading?

I liked the pattern on the Supra better, truth be told.

Pretty sure I can't afford a 600+hp car but damn that looks fun. (Well I could* but I wouldn't spend that much on a car probably)

the CT5-V (instead of the V Blackwing) is probably a better option for street driving, vs track. Unfortunately the V with it's twin screw V6 doesn't have a manual option but it is significantly less expensive.

Well, the formal announcement and the preorders went live last night (02/01/2021). The CT5-V Blackwing preorders (250 units) sold out in minutes, likely mostly by speculators. Hopefully they were all ordered with the 6MT so I can buy one for cheap in 5 years. As of this morning you can still preorder the CT4-V Blackwing.
If I'm honest, I like the looks of the last gen CTS-V better, with the slotted hood and more aggressive styling. The tech on these are really great though.
