I'm thinking the intro of the CT5-V may be pulled ahead due to purgatory status of CT6. When CT6 goes on hiatus, there is no other use for Blackwing. Well, now there will be.

Also, I'm pretty sure that what you saw at the auto show was the CT6-V, not the CT5-V.

Here are some of my photos from NAIAS. Shots of CT6-V and Blackwing 4.2TT, 550 hp. The white haired gentleman that you can see if you peer through the steering wheel is Caddy main man, Steve Carlisle. He was doing an interview when I was snapping photos. He was VP of GM Planning for a while when I was there.
