GM makes cars for Americans, and they do not underestimate the size of Americans. They build the cooling system accordingly.

With that said, I personally love the look of the CTS over the CT6, but the whole upper tier luxury aspect of the CT6. I'd also say that it's going to be hard to find a RWD model on lots, which means 3.6 is the min. Look at the S class, A8, and 7 series; they are all are AWD. Now, those cars are also LWB models and start in the six figure range.

And that's the rub with the CT6. It's not a proper flagship, but it's too big to be a proper midsizer. It's not as stylish as a A7 or CLS, which is where it should be. it should have been a crazy take on the A&S design, bringing in something that really stands out as a "Cadillac". Instead, we get a straight up three box sedan with some fancy LED headlight accents and chrome accents around the tails.
The CT6 is designed for China, and it shows.
