Talk:Cadillac CT5

Full-size?

This shows that it isn't, in fact, a full-size; it's smaller than a Honda Accord for God's sake! Over here, Cadillac lists the CT5 as a mid-size sedan not once, not twice, but three times.

It's also benchmarked against upper-compacts like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. 2600:6C50:4000:27D0:816D:1B5B:10C:7EF5 (talk) 17:27, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it's barely mid-size either. Compared with the compact Cadillac CT4, it's not that much bigger externally (194/74" vs. 187/71"); their cargo spaces are equal in size. Compared with both junior and mid-level luxury cars it lags in cargo space; this is most importantly true when comparing with Audi, with BMW, and to a lesser degree, with Mercedes-Benz. To be fair though, the D- and E-segment luxury categories have started to become more and more of a unisegment; this is especially true considering the 5 Series was becoming progressively bigger over time (peak E60), whereas the E-Class remained a standard midsize. (Because Mercedes prioritizes on heavy weight both inside and out over external/internal dimensions.) The CT5 is still dimensionally smaller than the E-Class, which is the smallest of the German midsizers. 2600:6C50:4000:27D0:816D:1B5B:10C:7EF5 (talk) 17:43, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is in the text of a web page: mid size. https://www.cadillac.com/sedans/preceding-year/ct5 — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

THANK. YOU. 2600:1012:B028:202E:4C02:37B0:C66E:A366 (talk) 21:41, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to mid-size but my edit was reverted even though I used that source you provided. A moderator only pointed out the GMAuthority blog I was also citing but removed the reference to Cadillac's page too :( 2600:1012:B028:202E:4C02:37B0:C66E:A366 (talk) 01:41, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the edit because you renamed it an entry-level vehicle, and that was not supported by any citation. The Cadillac website reference shows it being called both a mid-size and a compact. Because of this lack of consistency, I changed it back to the size shown longer term before editors started playing around with sizes. Bahooka (talk) 02:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updated to mid-sized based on published sources and added citations as appropriate. This shouldn't be as difficult as it is but here we are. spryde | talk 21:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
