2014 Cadillac CTS

Nice looking car. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Looks great, takes the Art & Science theme to a whole new level.

A lot better teaser than the 2014 Camaro.

As I've said before the look of the ATS, XTS and now seems to be CTS too look a lot alike. It's probably not a bad thing for brand identity but I would personally like a little more variance between the models.

It's definitely got a Benz/Caddy vibe to it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I do miss the stacked double-element headlamps, but I don't know how that would have looked with that particular front.

Overall, it's got a classy look to it.

Stuffy and awkward, yet somehow manages to be a bit boring too.

Do not like.

Looks an awful lot like a Mercedes.
The green house lost it's angularity, which is too bad.

Judging from that one full pic, I feel like the car has lost some of it's individuality. I guess the Chinese got what they wanted and Americans got the shaft.

I don't particularly like it either.

Chalk up another vote for dislike.

It looks less 'youthful' somehow.

Re: 2014 CTS first official pics

I love it. The front end is very bold and classy. The grill fits the body much better than on the last CTS. I don't really care for the front on the 08+ CTS with the exception of the V-series. This is a nice improvement. Perfect evolution of the CTS as far as I'm concerned. I can't wait to see the V.




2008 for side by side comparison

I felt that way when I fist saw the non-V 2008, but now I feel the opposite with the 2014+. I think this looks a lot more youthful and sporty than the last CTS.

I'm very surprised by how many people aren't liking the new car. I figured it would be a hit around here. 420HP TT V6 + 8 speed is just the icing on the cake.

I agree. It appears that it is trending more toward looking like every other lux sedan out there.

It isn't terrible, but it doesn't have the "bombast", I guess, of the original or 2nd Gen CTS. That, and the rendering makes it look 7-series sized.

Re: 2014 CTS first official pics

I like it, it looks bolder, sportier and far more aggresive than the current CTS. This thing with a TT V6 may be my next car.
