I love Donald and Jay but the car... not so much. True luxury is something roomier and easier to get into and out of. I know "To Each His Own", but go to a parking lot and you will see a canyon of so-called SUVs. There was a time when mainstream cars had chair height seats and they were big and clunky but today, especially when you have an electric vehicle that is both heavy with a low center of gravity it makes the height and room inconsequential. IN the end they plan to take the right to drive away from you anyway in just a couple of years so none of this matters.
I'm glad to see Cadillac building such an opulent car. Younger people don't realize they were the actual gold standard of cars through the 70s. I can only assume the Celestiq is spectacular and I love the styling. I hope I get to see one in person, because I can't picture it being as massive as it is described. Fantastic video, gentlemen.
Oh wow. The gold standard of 50 years past? Woopie doo! This will be filed next to the Avanti as an epic flop. Over $300K for any GM product is laughable at best.
I saw many comments on the newest version of the Lincoln Continental being big. I have seen several and they are small. I that to read the name to verify it isn't a mkz or s or what ever other shit box Lincoln has since killing the town car. The new Continental failed since it was so small. This shit box is hideous and electric and overpriced. It will fail on that. Size is good but this is not a proper Cadillac so size doesn't matter. The ct6 was better but too small and didn't have V8 until they decided to discontinue it so it did poorly.
Read the history and get acquainted with Rolls-Royce and its superiority in all its models and it manufactures very high-end engineering, but what is called the standard is the specialty of American Media
What happened at Cadillac over 50 years ago has no relevance to today’s products. There is no continual lineage that exists between Cadillac’s of today and those of the Golden Days. Still, nice to see them have a go at it.
While there was a lot of (frankly clueless) negativity around this car, I absolutely LOVE that this car exists. Cadillac coming back to the top of the market is something I can't not cheer!
Just because an opinion is different than yours doesn't mean someone is clueless. Cadillac has presented several concept cars that , in my opinion, are much more beautiful than the Celestiq. I would have preferred the produced the Ciel instead. I dont care for the Celestiq's design language, and I'm sure many more buyers will opt for the Rolls Royce Spectre over this. I think Cadillac flubbed an opportunity to build a truly world-beating halo car.
As someone who'll likely never buy a Cadillac (I prefer small, weird cars) I applaud them for this move. Why wouldn't the "Standard of the World" attempt to reclaim that title in the most advanced & free civilization that the planet has ever known🇺🇸
@@SouthernGent44You literally just made his point. You can’t list one legitimate reason why a customer of this caliber would choose the Spectre over the Celestiq assuming they prefer the Cadillac’s design. The Celestiq/Sollei may not be your favorite concepts from the company but that’s a personal issue and that doesn’t mean it isn’t doing its job as the world beating halo flagship that it is.
The first cool car we saw when we last went to Los Angeles was Jay in his P1! Granted, we were there to film with him, but that was an unplanned spotting, so you're not far off.
I saw one here in a suburb of Detroit at a CVS. I will say it has quite a presence. It is long and sleek and nothing like anything else. It looks like a squish down Lyric in some angles. Interesting to see how it does in the marketplace.
@@powertothesheeple5422 People able to access this vehicle financially have no interest in resale value. Because they aren't concerned about it. This car is magnificent.
We were at the Gathering last weekend, I happened to be with a good friend who owns a Cadillac dealership. We were both excited to see several of these around town, the road presence is amazing
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity! It was truly our pleasure. We love the car, we love Cadillac, and we had a lot of fun making this video. Looking forward to more in the future!
Cadillac has been my favorite car company for as far back as I can remember. Between this, the V-series products, and what they've been doing in WEC/IMSA, being a fan has been extra fun these last few years. Keep it up!
That's beautiful!! I thought the Lucids were pretty but this is even better looking. And I love hatchbacks either on coupes, traditional fatback hatchbacks, but especially on sleek 4 door sedans.
Absolutely it looks like a caliber 2 Tag Heuer Monaco. Starting with the caliber 11 in 1969 The Monaco is absolutely going to draw attention... I have a Rolex submariner that is at least double what the Monaco is in price and by far the Monaco gets the most comments..so even us Shelby guys can appreciate a nice watch lol
Love the dynamic with Jay and Donald, two old friends that are just having fun discussing one of our favorite things together, cars. Keep more videos like this coming please. Both of your car knowledge mixed with your banter is really enjoyable to watch and appreciated. I watch all of your videos both Jays garage and the museum videos, but keep making more with the two of you
The 4 seat configuration combined with the hatchback reminds me of an Aston Martin Rapide. Kinda interested to see how many they end up selling. Cannot wait go see one out west
Cadillac, for me, is one of the most legendary names in automotive history. The current generation doesn't appreciate or fully understand the Cadillac brand and its legacy. My grandfather is a huge fan of the old Cadillac sedans and the kind of road presence they have, and I personally love Cadillac for what they are and I support the brand in FIA World Endurance Championship as well. I strongly believe that the Celestiq is a car that can make the Gen Z understand what Cadillac is all about and bring the brand to its old glory.
They definately built the wrong one. They get so caught up in decision by committee with a lot of competing goals and lose sight of the single most important thing: it should look so amazing that it attracts buyers from other premium brands. This is ok, maybe fine, but not heart throb. The Elmiraj was so stunning it could have pulled in buyers who never thought they would buy a Cadillac. And I say all of this... as a very successful Cadillac dealer of over 50 years!
I believe that Cadillac will build the Escala after this is on the market. Their point in making this first is that this is more expensive and will prove that the price of the Escalla is worth its asking price.
When the GMC Hummer was revealed they said they’d believe it when they seen it. It came to production and the goalpost was moved to charging speed for the slowest method possible, the Hummer’(s) weight and size being “unbearable”. Cadillac Lyriq revealed, haters claimed they’d never build it or see it come to production. It’s went into production nearly unchanged. They wanted to then make the headline about any software glitch a Ultium vehicle experienced. *gm* kept supply low until they were able to workout the kinks with Hummer, Lyriq, Blazer, etc. Then the story became *gm* isn’t selling EVs. They worked out the kinks and ramped production up and the Lyriq went on to become the best seller of the segment. Celestiq was revealed, same people claimed they’d never build it. Now that it’s gone into production people complain about the price or the controversial design. I feel like the Celestiq and Sollei are Cadillac’s middle finger to every single naysayer they’ve had within the last 50-60 years. What he said about having a heritage and actual identity of your own as strong as they do is what every manufacturer truly dreams of. Cadillac has figured that out and that’s why they’ve gone back to their roots. This is now a game of chess ♟️ for *gm.*
I agree. I could live with the front, but the 'butt' is so ugly to my eyes. Cadillac has created some incredibly classy designs over their long history. I don't think this is one of them.
I will never be able to afford one, but I'm thrilled that Caddy's building a true world-class luxury car again. It's also nice that they appear to have taken the blowback over the Lyriq's shaky charging port door to heart.
16:55 Even though arguably “outrageous”, I would write a check right now for a Celestiq with a color scheme like the Mercedes 1000 SEL “Diana”, it would look amazing and would do so well in Mid Eastern markets. A Sollei version even more so.
They did something special with this car that I realize more overtime and that is make it polarizing. Cars like that grow on you over time. As I saw it in more colors like the blue or yellow I started to melt over it. Also seeing it on the road changes the appeal because it sits so low and muscularly wide.
I got a tour of the car at the cars and coffee at Easton’s Beach, I was wowed! The tech is just off the hook! And as I was told, anything you can touch is customizable! I’m not sure about the outside design? Cool car though, and out of my price range! 😉
I saw this car last weekend in Newport. I was busy riding in a silver Porsche 356 Super 90, which I towed to the Porsche Concours for the owner (who is a friend).
@@ronschwolsky1626 Doozy .01%, but even _they_ got more than they paid for, all things considered. Engineering marvel. Caddy's (until the '80's) were actually ahead of the curve with many features to satisfy the the successful upper middle class and rich-quick types. They lost their way entirely from 80s on. But the Escalade and brute V-series are bringing them back. IMHO they shouldn't be building smaller SUVs, but they gotta make easier money too.
This is a really nice car. I saw a few testing out between Las Vegas and Phoenix. I would certainly choose the RR Spectre but this car is also hard to beat by many higher end brands.
Range in this car does not matter. The buyer for this vehicle would have access to a private jet to travel. This car would be used in town for special events. Probably only 5 percent of Americans would be considering this Cadillac.
The top 5th percentile of US households had an income of about 320k today. I wonder if they would purchase a car that costs slightly more than there annual income.
Wow . I used to boost caddy hubcaps and hood ornaments in the early seventies in Bensonhurst , always partial to Coupe Deville;s , but this surpasses any. caddy i ever seen or helped myself to parts of.
This is definitely up there for one of the more wild comments on our channel, however, we can agree that the Celestiq is a massive landmark in Cadillac history!
My friends, the great experiment: the Cel=es-teek! Ready for trial runs. I hear she's got electric drive. Aye, and if that wagon had no batteries, it'd be my grandma.
Jay: "Like when people said they're not buying Corvette with round tailights. Most people aren't/weren't going to buy it anyway." What Jay means: 'Most people are poor, can't afford these cars so their opinion on how it looks or how Chevy does something really doesn't matter. These aren't made for the Poors." He's right, but let you down easssssy.
The Celestiq has the potential to reach iconic status. All it needs is for Columbia Pictures to feature her as the Ecto 4 in the next Ghostbusters movie.
This car is brilliant. Absolutely stunning all around. I have an Equinox EV, and for what it is, it is a wonderful EV. GM is doing great things and heading right into the future well prepared.
I love the front end and the overall look from the front but with Cadillacs I don’t know what they’re trying to do with the rear of the car. I wish they would do something else. I just cannot get used to the rear end of the Cadillac I really like Cadillacs my grandfather had the 1920s Cadillac I love to bring a Cadillac back into the Martin family but I just cannot get used to the back end of these new ones. I just not, my taste. Thank you for the video Jay. I love the technology and I’ll keep looking at Cadillac to see if they make a design. I love.
who are you kidding? yourself? It's like aurus for president of Russia, North Korea, Turkmenistan, and several SOEs forced to buy it for its management. In free market, people either buy RR some some small yacht.
It's a nice looking car. It reminds me of a larger 1992-1997 Subaru SVX. I wonder, since it's a four seater car; could the seats be wider and more plush instead of a regular seating size? It seems like the seats could be more luxurious. The lyriq is a nice looking car too.
2:02 If you wanted Cadillac's FIRST manual transmission vehicle since 1948 then you'd need an early-1980's Cadillac Cimmaron in your collection, not a CTS-V 😂
15:35 I love the designer’s enthusiasm, but when he made this point it was a bit romanticized… for those with the means (especially in that neighborhood 😁), it’s just a blue car lol. Great video.
Donald and Jay are so satisfying to hear on any car, especially a Caddy.
I love Donald and Jay but the car... not so much. True luxury is something roomier and easier to get into and out of. I know "To Each His Own", but go to a parking lot and you will see a canyon of so-called SUVs. There was a time when mainstream cars had chair height seats and they were big and clunky but today, especially when you have an electric vehicle that is both heavy with a low center of gravity it makes the height and room inconsequential. IN the end they plan to take the right to drive away from you anyway in just a couple of years so none of this matters.

Cadillac is doing something there own way and not following trends. That's what the company was always meant for.

newer Cadillacs are just luxury extravaganza, even if they're EVs. It FELT like Cadillac.
I like! Thx.
I love the front end and the overall look from the front but with Cadillacs I don’t know what they’re trying to do with the rear of the car. I wish they would do something else. I just cannot get used to the rear end of the Cadillac I really like Cadillacs my grandfather had the 1920s Cadillac I love to bring a Cadillac back into the Martin family but I just cannot get used to the back end of these new ones. I just not, my taste. Thank you for the video Jay. I love the technology and I’ll keep looking at Cadillac to see if they make a design. I love.
celestiq is real competitor of rolls royce
who are you kidding? yourself? It's like aurus for president of Russia, North Korea, Turkmenistan, and several SOEs forced to buy it for its management. In free market, people either buy RR some some small yacht.
Beautiful automobile !!! Cadillac has done well with branding their look and quality. Prices are definitely not for everyone.
It's a nice looking car. It reminds me of a larger 1992-1997 Subaru SVX. I wonder, since it's a four seater car; could the seats be wider and more plush instead of a regular seating size? It seems like the seats could be more luxurious. The lyriq is a nice looking car too.
2:02 If you wanted Cadillac's FIRST manual transmission vehicle since 1948 then you'd need an early-1980's Cadillac Cimmaron in your collection, not a CTS-V 😂
The rest of us never mention that car.
15:35 I love the designer’s enthusiasm, but when he made this point it was a bit romanticized… for those with the means (especially in that neighborhood 😁), it’s just a blue car lol. Great video.
Reminds me a bit of an Aston Martin Lagonda. Nice looking car
