With that said, I hope it sells well enough for GM to give us our money back.
1. Will do

2. Ouch

I dont think its a hatch I just think the trunk opens w/out the rear windshield, I hope to see it at the L.A. Auto Show. I think The "Hatch Style" you speak of was stolen from the Bentley GT? Ive seen a lot of Bentley Continental GT's and I think GM/Cadillac is trying to put the CTS V up there with it... I mean 550hp Heres a pic.....

I think it looks pretty good. Hopefully continues the CTS line success.

Too bad about the SRX reviews - looks to be a journalist miss. Maybe it'll still sell well though. Cadillac needs to really do a bang up job on expanding their success beyond the CTS, especially a great new STS.

I personally dont like it at all. I wasn't a huge fan of the old ones but they finally are growing on me a little. It might perform amazingly but that's not enough to convince me to ride around in that thing.

It's "futuristic".

I'm still getting over the fact that Zumn created a meaningful and nicely constructed thread opener worthy of anything but the lounge. It's freakin me out.

It's mean and agressive looking all right...but not attractive or stylish... more transformerish. The front looks like those damn huge pickup truck fronts...just an ugly huge maw lowered all the way to the ground. The rear is laughable....you're supposed to see something out of that slit window? ...and the mirrors barely peek around the fender lines. The tan interior is nice, but the black is Kia plastic hideous.

Hopefully this 'american style' is liked enough by those too rich to know better so GM can make enough to pay USam back before it fails (hopefully for the last time).

^Honestly, I just like the front and back (first pics- demonish) and in interior design. I dont really like the sides or the wheels.

I agree with you, I'd like to see how it would handle on a course and/or around the track. I couldnt find any SPECIFIC SPECS (engine type, brakes, suspension, etc.) anywhere, but I will as soon as they become available. I personally think this is going to be an awesome performing machine

Considering that the 2009 CTS-V sedan until very recently held the lap record for the fastest production sedan on street tires at the Nürburgring Nordshleife (it was edged in July by the Panamera), I'd say the Coupe will probably handle just fine. Another GM product, the Corvette ZR-1, currently holds the lap record for coupes.

And between that Bentley and the Caddy, I'll take the Caddy. The Bentley looks like a tarted-up snowplow or something.
