Except GM will be around for some time, they won't be gone tomorrow so Cadillac can still fall back on that, and their bread and butter seller Escalade allows the brand to continue to survive.

GM chassis tuning is some of the best in the business, they have benchmarked the E39 M5 for years for their sport sedans and it really shows, the ATS-V and CTS-V were fantastic, and with a manual transmission these new ones will be even better, and the powertrain is proven. Who cares if it doesn't sell, I'm glad they even see a business case in building it in the first place. A manual, 4-door sedan with a V8, yes please! The more enthusiast cars the better, and they do enthusiast cars well.

I care about the drive first and foremost, so I would definitely put a Blackwing high up on my list for exciting future cars.
