That's because they couldn't remember the model name /s

@@bradlemmond Who can keep track of these confusing CT and XT naming models? Cadillac needs to go back to using actual model names like Lincoln is doing now.

Does it really matter? Looks like everything else on the road. Throw a can of open alphabet soup at any caddy, and youve got the new model.

@@bradlemmond You didn't need the /s tag. It's probably true. Although I thought maybe the new model was called the 2020. 😆

@@Lrules364 looks like a high end durango

Right!

Maybe Scotty Kilmer can.

damn right

Read the consumer report on the aviator, last one on the list

For sure. This just seems to bland for a Cadillac

Maybe but it's not being recalled every other week for something breaking

And the Genesis GV80.

Derek Chisholm It actually shows their efforts are in the right place. Cadillac should definitely be attempting to differentiate it’s exteriors from their standard brands in any and all ways. No Cadillac should share the same “3.6” badge as a Chevrolet Impala. I think the newton meters badging looks really good on the back of these new Cadillacs and it adds a bit of class to the brand. I love it!

Exactly right - Lincoln is committed to lux, Cadillac is just trying to figure out the cheapest way to do it and still call it "lux".

Very well said, that’s how I would explain it too. Effort could have been better.

Agreed

Yeah, it looks like Lincoln finally got their poop in a group.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm a die hard Caddy man. I have a 11' DTS and 03' Escalade EXT and I want to get a CTS-V and newer Escalade ESV in the near future. But my question is WTF kind of crack was GM smoking when they approved this and have the nerve to charge more than a Aviator. First off its Wrong Wheel Drive and that's enough said right there. This is the first Lincoln in decades that totally bested a Caddy in every category. Its the only Lincoln I'd choose over a Caddy and I'm not even a crossover guy.

Yea the 3.0 twin turbo would’ve been nice

I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury last month and I couldn't be happier with it! Terrific looking and functional, great space and comfort, reasonably priced for it's segment, great tech and safety features, plenty of power and a smooth ride! It's my first domestic US car brand purchase in 20 years.

Bunty Chea Hmm, I thought it was a Traverse on steroids.

@@dam4274 you're probably right. I'm not familiar with GMC models.

The Lincoln Aviator shits all over this badge engineered Chevrolet Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave gone wrong. GM needs to look at what Ford is doing redesigning their new Lincoln SUVs like the Navigator, Aviator and Corsair. Also bring back real names like Lincoln is doing now.

@@gedaman Exactly. Lincoln is platform-sharing the same way many brands do, but Ford is learning how to differentiate them much better than they have in the past. GM is still introducing lackluster stuff like this unfortunately.

Gedaman you’re so delusional 😂

i neve rbuy anything domestic. the koreans and japanese make much mroe reliable ecnomy cars and luxury cars

The 2004 SRX was an artful design, and way prettier than this XT6 abomination. This is a Cadillac? Actually looks like an SUV that should cost $25K...just ugly.

@@randomrazr Good for you. I'll take an American car over anything Korean.

@@hakeemsd70m hyundai is far more reliable then the GM crap

@@randomrazr The old Hyundai cars were very reliable, but I don't trust a new car. I used to own a 2003 Hyundai XG350L. Car was rock solid in build quality, despite being from the old era of Hyundai, and I got 195K miles out of her before she was totaled. A true testament to simple old fashioned builds and minimal electronics. I got a Malibu. But my dream car is a 1978 Cadillac Sedan Deville.

Except, Cadillac doesn't try to shove turbos down our throats, as Lincoln constantly is. At least, Cadillac gives you a choice..and my choice is, turbos??...NEVER.

Hey! Sliding doors are awesome!

That's 90% of all crossovers, they're all minivans without sliding doors and Americans are buying them like mad!

@@LSp8 I can't see why, they're all garbage. Same with mid size trucks.

Buy a 2005 dodge caravan then. They use them in terrorist bombings, drive by shootings, and hauling kids to pull weeds out the field. If you want power drivers seats then buy a chrysler. The quality is terrible yet easy to replace and they last too long

Jamil Jones it’s ok, people will just buy the better aviator instead

@@derekchisholm972 You mean Ford Explorer

I mean technically yes but it’s right wheel drive anyway

@@derekchisholm972 Is it wrong wheel drive, because you don't know how to drive,

@@anthonywebber2211 you wrong for that. You know what he meant! 😅😂🤣

I'd rather save $10k+ and get a loaded Buick Enclave. All of these GM 3 row crossovers are too similar to each other to justify a price premium.

Gedaman so how similar are the Ford Explorer ST and the Lincoln Aviator? Does the same NOT apply here?? Smh. Again, you delusional Ford fanboys live in some fairytale world with butterflies & recalls on brand new 2020s🙄🦋 🌍✨

@@mybro727 The only similarity between the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator is the platform. The powertrains are unique, the exterior and interior are unique. I don't think you know what the word delusional means...

Gedaman I think I do. Anyone that says the Ford Explorer and Aviator share absolutely nothing but the CD6 platform is definitely delusional my friend. The Ford Explorer ST and Lincoln Aviator share majority of the same switchgear, 3.0L eco-boosted twin turbocharged engines, same 10-speed transmission, same plastic Ford remote key fob, body paneling, etc. You _ARE_ delusional, bud.🤷🏽‍♂️

Oneslackr right, that’s why your here concerning yourself with American junk? Yeah that makes absolute sense.

IT IS YOU!

He's chinese

Or anything other than a REAL truck from GM.

What model year is that Acadia though?

@@NileshR12 2017

Don't forget about the ELR that they made a couple years ago, an incredibly beautiful vehicle style-wise and also performance-wise. Don't believe what the naysayers said about it, Go and drive one and you will be pleasantly surprised at how fantastic a vehicle it is.

@@TheHomeExpert5 The OP was talking about the looks, not how it might drive.

Agreed

The engine needs to be turned the proper direction before we consider any performance upgrades. This will never compete with a 2020 Aviator, or even an Explorer for that matter.

@@LSp8 Exactly. GM dropped the ball with this while Ford has an all new rear wheel drive truck based Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator. GM should've brought out this Cadillac XT6 back in 2007 when the Buick Enclave was first introduced.

@@gedaman I been saying that for years, now GM brought a knife to a gunfight. Meanwhile the Aviator brought a AR15 and XT6 whipped out a rusty butter knife. The only saving Grace would be towards high volume and super discounted fleet sales. This may be the successor to the XTS at best. There's no excuse for luxury brands launching FWD in 2020. It's super obvious that RWD is the premier option.

Because GM is somehow permanently convinced that Cadillac should be on the same level as GMC, which itself is nothing more than a badly undercooked pretend-luxury brand

Ivan Mendoza kr a buick enclave lol

Badge engineering gone wrong here. Go with the much superior Lincoln Aviator for the same price.

Get a Toyota Highlander instead.

Javier Hernandez get ANYTHING ELSE lol

Ivan Mendoza Good luck buying a Traverse and getting this luxurious of an interior with high end build materials, full LED exterior, this refined of a engine, and standard panoramic sunroof.

elton john Cadillac is laughing 😂

not with them pathetic 0to60 and 1/4 times

Jo LC You’ve clearly never been inside a Cadillac XT6 and a Chevrolet Traverse. Two different worlds of interior materials and luxury.

@@mybro727 She was talking about the boring exterior design.

When? BMW, Porsche, MB, Ferrari, Audi have almost always used numbers in their model names.

Tacky to use this guy.

Probably more aggressive gearing to make it more responsive

Anderson Ricardo He is MotorWeek, Show some respect for The godfather, kid.

The dark ages

My how times have changed....

Yeah, dressed like that and getting into a Caddy, what happened to dressing classy?

I remember when Motorweek reviewers had fashionable '80's pornstaches and mullets.

We just had John Davis yelling at the camera

I have trusted my 99 Tahoe. Never let me down once.

@@andybub45 because its not new

You can trust some. They have a reliable motor call the LS that gets praised all over. GM puts quality in some of their models. If your looking to buy a reliable luxury car (Which luxury wasnt suppose to be reliable) then i would try to buy some of the lincoln models with good reliabilty ratings, and most of Lexus's lineup

I have a 2014 Generation 10 Impala I put on 160k miles. Runs great. No issues. 3.6L VVT v6

@@sgtjm755 nice. updates during 220k miles please

Watch the video

bighosre10 Many popular manufacturers practice this technique, General Motors simply refuses to make any real effort to differentiate their luxury products from the lower level brands in which they’re based off of.

Eric Jr this is not true for the simple fact you can’t even tell this and the Traverse are made by the same company. It looks nothing like it, feels nothing like it, and is worlds more comfortable and luxurious.

mybro727 If you spec it out you’ll pay $74,000 for the same 311 hp V6 and powertrain that’s offered across most of GM's model line. It’s already been noted that they use much of the same plasticky switchgear as they do in the their other models. For over $70k I’d expect more. It’s not a horrible car, it’s just a bit overpriced for what you’re getting, especially considering their somewhat poor resale value.

Eric Jr There isn’t a competitor to the Cadillac XT6 in existence that doesn’t share the same fate in resale value. Secondly, if you think Cadillac is the only company that shares power trains between their standard and luxury brands you’re sadly mistaken. Ford, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc. all do this. I’m not sure why it’s such foul play when GM does it especially when it’s as great an engine as their cooperate 3.6L V6. It’s tuned differently in the XT6 and drives great. You’re simply comparing Chevrolet to Cadillac on paper, you would have to actually drive the Traverse and XT6 to understand the premium. There’s a difference. What switchgear? If there is any they share it’s minimalistic. I don’t see the electronic gear shifter featured here inside the Chevrolet Traverse. The Traverse doesn’t get a single power sliding panoramic moonroof standard like the Cadillac either. The key fob for the XT6 is the first impression and looks nothing like the Chevrolet’s or Buick’s. It’s clear the Cadillac is the premium variant there to. The materials used in the XT6 are all a notch above that of Chevrolet so i honesty can’t say i agree.

mybro727 Yep but those competitors also offer more power. Aviator offers nearly 500 horsepower in it’s top trim and 400 horsepower in the lower trim. Acura and Lexus both have for better resale value than Cadillac and Lincoln. I just don’t see anything special about this particular model that justify a $75,000 tag even in top trim.

and if you look close on any of these new cars they are fake

Hire for half the price and I will get them right 😂

The Cadillac XT5 replaced the SRX. Their naming scheme is so confusing most people can't tell their crossovers apart from the old SRX. LOL BRING BACK REAL NAMES!

*looks at Escalade *

Lmao the aviator is 100k+

I'm a Cadillac guy who loves The Aviator...but it's been recalled ALREADY and is built like crap. *Wants Genesis to build SUV*

@@71sc502 $100k?!?! No it isn't. Starts at $51,000.

Just like Lincoln

Agree. Did you see how the ENTIRE "central controller" knob moved when they pushed the buttons around it? Wont see that in a modern Mercedes. And the buttons themselves look like cheap GM parts-bin garbage. I always root for the hometeam, but this is a swing and miss. Lincoln Aviator will eat this thing alive for similar money.

Watch the video

@@anthonywebber2211 The point was to convey they missed a word.

Get one now, before the all-new 2021 comes out!

But the same guy managed to confuse both brands' model names.

How has Cadillac rebounded with garbage like the XT6? I think you meant Lincoln rebounded starting with the 2017 Continental, 2018 Navigator, 2020 Aviator, 2020 Nautilus and 2020 Corsair... Cadillac is slipping fast with badge engineered bullshit like this and the old outdated Escalade. The new Cadillac CT4 and CT5 look promising though. It's a shame the CT6 will be discontinued this year. It looked decent also.
