Main theme: We share our impressions of the sporty Cadillac CT4 luxury sedan as we finish up testing.

We also discuss the latest in a series of virtual launches with GM's unveiling of the Cadillac Lyriq all-electric SUV planned for late 2022 production and early 2023 availability. Does this seem a bit early for an unveiling? Or is it really about confirming GM's commitment to the EV market?

Driven this week: 2020 Cadillac CT4
