My mom owneed a Cadillac for many years (an '85 or '86 Seville or deVille, can't remember which: it'd help if the name was more than one letter different), and it was nice. It wasn't cheap at all, mostly well-fitted plastic, metal, and wood. It wore over time, sure, but nothing bad. It still looked pretty good when she got rid of it. But the CTS feels like some cheap Asian import. I mean, I don't know if you've been in one, but I'm 100% serious. There are other reasons I don't like the interior, too, but they really should have thrown some money at it. I think, in the US at least, a Cadillac customer expects something a little bit classy, or at least better looking at purchase than the other brands, but it looks terrible.
