The 2015 New York Auto Show (NYIAS) marked the debut of an all-new era for Cadillac. With the launch of the all-new CT6, the American luxury automaker is dipping its toes into the large luxury sedan market. Somewhere it hasn't been prevalent in quite some time.
So, what's going to make this even remotely competitive against the likes of the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the other guys?

Given what we heard at the CT6's launch party in Brooklyn, we're thinking that Cadillac is going to rely on the vehicle's driving dynamics and technology. There's just a couple of problems with this strategy:
1) Driving dynamics aren't incredibly important in this class. The car needs to be comfortable first and foremost while being built SOLID; and,
2) GM's technology is going to have to trump the class leader right now — the S-Class.
Several things Johan de Nysschen brought up during his talk were the Bose sound system dubbed Paneray — funny, sounds like the watchmaker, Panerai — the rear-view camera that's integrated into the rear-view mirror, the pop-up screens integrated into the front seat backs and the night vision that appears to show up in the TFT instrument panel.
As you'll see below, Agent 001 snapped some of the CT6's finer details in these shots. Some things appear to be carryover, for example, the CUE system. Other things, like the rear-view mirror, are all-new innovations.
Thing is, will THIS be enough to keep up with the likes of the latest and greatest large luxury sedans?
