Cadillac CTS Coupe unveiled!

Oh my:



I'm not sure what you guys will think of it just by looking at the photos, but it's damn sexy in person!

You know, from all the pictures I've seen of this new CTS, it has a very "heavy" look to it. There's a lot of metal (or whatever the fenders and quarters are made of) above the wheel arches. I don't really care for the pointy rear-end of this one either. I'll reserve full judgement until I can see one in person though.

Pretty slick looking coupe. (there's a couple of other pics at automochatter.com) That's one short rear end, it makes for a forward leaning look in two of the posted shots. Looks to be a pretty small trunk opening - could be a hatch maybe(?) - otherwise how would you get anything of any realistic size into the trunk.

All in all though, I think it actually improves on the CTS sedan which is pretty slick in its own right - maybe even more so than the v car.

Probably because it is heavy?



I know what you're saying - it's something that shows up in a lot of newer GM designs. Where as that big mass of sheetmetal above the rear wheel arch on the G6 really bugs me, I think it's executed better on the CTS.

Good deal. Now, we have a coupe that can go up against Infiniti and BMW--and is distinctly different from either of these styles!

Go Cadillac!
