Cadillac has slowly been retooling its sedan lineup in recent years, replacing the outgoing ATS and CTS with the CT4 and CT5 for the 2020 model year. The latter pairing received V-series mid-level performance versions straight away and followed that with the announced addition of high-performance Blackwing variants in April. Now comes a niche trait for an increasingly niche class of car: Cadillac will make a manual transmission standard for the 2022 CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing editions, the first time either nameplate has been graced with such a gearbox.
