… especially if the sedan is RWD.
As much as I want to say a lot of negative things about this, it really is a sharp looking sedan…
Updated Alpha platform.used on the 6th Gen Camaro and Cadillac Ct4band Ct5 sedans. Anew Camaro and the Buick sedan would share the development. Waiting to see more than renders but it’s good news so far .2028 Chevrolet Camaro: An American V-8 Pony Car Worth Waiting For
And made in China.
According to Road and Track, the Buick sedan (if it is built) will probably be assembled with the new Cadillac CT5 and Camaro at the Grand River plant in Michigan.
That is good news for those of us that prefer RWD. I was recently thinking that the next vehicle I buy will be either a pickup or a sedan. Looks like I will have one more to choose from. Although with one kid in college and another starting in 2 years, it may be a few years from now! I like the rendering of the car.
Hey VDC, I will be in your neck of the woods again next week and should have a free morning…
So- what is the problem with that?
Dave- I understand that Chrysler is planning on a New Yorker sedan in 2026. That may be more to your liking.
I will probably just stick with my current truck. 
Looks a lot like what the rivieras were supposed to look like before they pulled the plug. Sorry but rwd won’t go over well, especially in snow country.
Folks south of the Mason-Dixon line fancy rear-wheel-drive.
On the other hand, haven’t you ever seen a BMW or Mercedes in Yankee territory?
Mercedes.and BMW dealers here in the Seattle/tacoma region only stock 4matic or Xdrive models. Or the buyers have winter tires on another set of wheels
Which help until you hit silicone snow as a Utah based car podcast called it when all their awd vehicles on winter tires had spins or close calls.
Next week will be kind of “iffy” for me. I have medical appointments on Tuesday and Thursday, and I should have workmen at my house for some interior renovations on at least one other day. Let me know which day, and I’ll try.
People who drive their cars have no problem with RWD in the north or in mountains going to the ski slopes. Those that ride in their cars, holding the steering wheel, need AWD to navigate in snow flurries.
As someone who currently owns a Front WD sedan, an AWD SUV and a RWD sports car (all imports) I think it’s nice that GM is considering a domestic RWD Performance Sedan but even I have to admit that it will probably be a a low production “niche” car.
Hard to beat the sedan for comfort on long trips, the SUV for daily practicality and the sports car for handling, style and pure driving pleasure so the combination is frequently a compromise that excels at nothing.
Didn’t GM already attempt this with their Buick Regal Tour X and the Cadillac CT Blackwing?
I never want a sedan again. On long trips I want a medium size Hatchback so I can put luggage in and out without straining my back. Plus with a hatchback if one finds something on a trip that might not fit in a sedan with a SUV hatchback at least you might be able to take it home with you. I have some friends with a Lexus Hybrid sedan and I have a hard time getting in and out of the back seat. Plus I think my Subaru Outback is more comfortable.
The Cadillac Blackwing CT5 MSRP starts at $98,900. How many buyers are considering it as a new car?
Even the front seat in a sedan can be challenging for us older folks. The “getting in” isn’t usually a problem. Instead, it’s hauling yourself up from a low-placed seat that can be… literally… a pain. The seats in the smaller SUVs and Crossovers are an ideal height for older folks to slide in and out, without having to exert yourself or strain your back.
About 8 years ago, I decided to sit in a Subaru BRZ (same vehicle as the Toyota 86), and when it was time to exit from the car, I had to crawl out on my hands and knees, then raise myself by holding onto the front fender. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone else in the showroom at the time to witness my “performance”.
Yeah, because of the immense cost of producing even what may be just a "limited sale volume “rebodied” Camaro, the resulting sale price becomes exorbitant.
What works as a “Halo Performance Model” for the Cadillac brand is doubtful for the Buick brand so I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for it.
Ct5 sedans start under $60k, black-wing is a bmw m5 competitor. Buick trimmed their dealers a couple years ago but priced and marketed below the next ct5 could work.
The ct v at a local dealer is $70k msrp with most options. The only V Blackwing manual is $131,000 with the $32k deep blue package with carbon ceramics and the carbon fiber body kit’s. Before the Bellevue additional markup.
