That intoxicating new car smell can often cloud our judgement when shopping for a vehicle. If you happen to be exploring a vehicle like the 2017 Cadillac CT6, or any other Cadillac vehicle for that matter, it may be doubly difficult to keep your thoughts in order.
With the 2017 CT6, Cadillac launches an all-out assault on the large luxury sedan market i.e., BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. The CT6 will come in an all new hybrid for 2017 that delivers 30 miles of all electric range before a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder takes over, producing 265HP and zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds.
The CT6 will also be smothered in all of Cadillac’s advanced information, safety, and performance technology. Cadillac plans to leave no doubt in buyer’s minds about its seriousness with the 2017 CT6.
So, you can just let that new car smell overwhelm you when it comes to the 2017 Cadillac CT6. It is stylish, has luxury overload, and a performance package that can be increased to 335HP V6 or a 404HP V6 twin turbo with AWD.
Vehicle Ownership Winners and Losers
When the new car smell begins to fade, less obvious elements of car ownership come to the surface. For a look at some, and a little fun, here are a few leaders in car ownership categories that often escape our notice at first, according to automotive.com.
Best car for a tall person: your thinking something massive, right? A large SUV, a van, surely one of the many full sized sedans? No, it’s actually the Hyundai Elantra. With 40 inches of head room, multi-adjustable driver seat, and unusual space in the driver’s cockpit, the Elantra is a surprising winner in this category. So, if you see someone pulling into the parking lot of a big and tall store in a Hyundai Elantra, you’ll know why.
Least ticketed vehicle: Not sure what’s going on here but the Jaguar XJ is the vehicle less likely to get ticketed. It could point to the demographics of typical Jag owner being older but other vehicle have similar demographics with this British automobile. Oh well, cheerio, no need to step on it, we’ve only just said goodbye!
Least stolen vehicle: Mercedes Benz E class is the least stolen vehicle. Valet parking, protected by large estates, the Benz E class is simply out of the reach of car thief’s. Oh, and its security system is world class.Ugliest vehicle: The Dodge Caliber takes the top spot for ugliest vehicle – no argument here.
Cheapest vehicle to Insure: a top-notch vehicle like the Nissan Frontier is cheapest to insure. Fantastic!
Highest cost to own: the Audi 8 is a great vehicle to look at and drive, but when it comes to reaching for the wallet to insure, gas, and maintain, owners will be doing it again and again.
Most expensive vehicle to maintain: The Mercedes Benz SLK class is the most expensive to maintain because of obvious use of costly, high end parts, but it also can suffer from parts shortages due the exclusivity of the Mercedes brand vehicle. Cadillac shares many parts with Chevrolet, making maintaining a Cadillac much less costly than Mercedes and BMW.
Vehicle with highest repair costs: For the same reason as the MB SLK, the Mercedes Benz GLE is the vehicle with the highest repair costs. As an SUV, its parts are even more rare, making its repairs higher in cost.
