Cadillac CTS Coupe--sweet!!!!
I saw one of these on the freeway today. It had manufacturer's plates and 2 rather large exhaust outlets exiting like the GT3.
I can't afford one but it really does look pretty nice in person. I think it will sell well. GM To Build 2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe

As I've said previously, at this year's auto show the masses were crawling all over the American car displays. Something I haven't witnessed in many years.

The car is hella cool. Love the lines, has great power from its standard engine, a six speed, and awd.
BMW - pffffttt.

I think it's pretty nice looking, for a Cadillac. Anything to get away from the grandma car image I say. I think Lincoln is turning around for the better also, with the success of the MKS and the Duratec EcoBoost engine. Maybe GM and Ford are finally realizing they can't expect to stay afloat much longer without better products. The Caddy is still a little steep though...

Do you realize how many cars besides a Ferrari 612 weigh more than 4200lbs?
They seem to move ok. |

Very cool cars. Same with the CTS wagon. If they made a CTV-V wagon I would be seriously lusting for a Cadillac.

Nah, not my thing... I can't speed in it! I'll get a Toyota Prius and go 90 and when a cop starts chasing me I'll just blame it on the electronics but I was able to get it to slow down with the cops help by shutting it down, luckily! Wow that was a close call. He'll be a hero and I'll be ticket free! LOL!
PS- I forgot to mention I'd get better gas mileage too....

My 08 Camry Hybrid weights something like 60 or 80 pounds more than my 911 targa, a hybrid!

I think the coupe is hot. Just looks too much like a corrado for me.

Ugly as a mud fence, but you can't see it from the driver's seat, I suppose.
I would prefer a car at least 1000 pounds lighter. I don't dig big, heavy cars. |
