Thumbs up CTS Coupe 2010...Lets Chat and give IMO's

Here is the new CTS Coupe 2010!!! So Beefy looking from the front and so sexy. ....PICS BELOW!!!

Motor Trend:

What We Know: The 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe will be a two-door version of the CTS sedan. It was shown in concept form at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The production version will ride on the same rear wheel drive platform as the sedan and use similar V6 engines. Given its size, the CTS coupe will most likely compete against the likes of the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe when it arrives in the spring of 2010

GMInsideNews.com (Juicier info )

Although the coupe-variant of the CTS is delayed, the 2010 CTS sport wagon is still on for a spring launch. GM is still unclear if it will label the CTS Coupe as a 2010 or 2011 model year.

The CTS Coupe further separates itself from its sedan donor thanks to the elimination of a conventional door handle, adopting instead the concept’s Corvette-style design which hides the door trigger behind the door’s aft cut-line.

(Juicy Stuff) GM has previously promised a 550 hp “V” coupe will hit the market at the same time as the regular two-door. (CAMARO SS or OR FASTER, WHAT ABOUT HANDLING?)

Not bad but why did you put it in the lounge?

Ugh, I can't stand the back of the car! Looks terrible IMO. The black interior is nice though. I would take that.

and the CTS V (550hp) can take the v10 M5's. It should have no trouble destroying camaro SS's and the others.

I thought I should put it in the lounge since its car-talk it would go in the "lounge"?? Theres really not much info on suspension/engine specs besides the CTS V 550hp that they had mentioned.

Cadillac always seem to handle better than most Luxury cars are Im sure better than the CAMARO SS...GODAMN I cant stop looking at these pics! I just saw the Commercial on the T.V. and was like I must post it on the forum! . I rather have the CTS V 550HP, with the Black interior also then the M5's, MBZ's, or the SS but never the ZR1, the ZR1 will still pawn this CTS V. But then again u can have 2-CTS V (hers and his) over just having a ZR1 so.... She can have the Red one, Ill take the Silver with all Black interior THNK YOU

Tell me the front of this thing doesnt look like its gonna ****** eat you?! (<--proper wordage to use at this moment)

I bet you that CAMARO SS owners are going to be trading in their SS's when this beast comes out
At least those who can afford it

I guess I'll have to be the first to **** on the thread by saying I'm not impressed initially by the exterior styling. It is certainly menacing and aggressive, and from Cadillac no less. The front looks like it could devour a couple of children as fuel if need be.

Ah, I see. Eh, compared to what Mazda has done with the new Mazdaspeed 3's, my car's face looks comparatively instead of .

Maybe it's a design that will grow on me. For sure, Cadillac is currently making and designing much more appealing cars than what most people still consider Caddy's. And I'd agree that GM, as well as Ford have some interesting cars in the lineup for the next few years.

does kinda remind me of a hatchback audi from the 80s in the rear. Looks like a good car w/ 304hp DI V6 and the CTSV a beast. GM finally competes w/ and beats imo BMW,audi,Lexus,Merc but I may take an A5 over this coupe on looks. Very nice interior. If I can get a year or 2 outta the Dodge I may get a used CTS sedan next for a daily.

Nice, Zumn. This should have gone in the "General Automotive" section.

Get the mods to move it. It should be there.

I think the 2010 CTS Coupe is beautiful, inspiring, and has clean flowing lines.

My opinion did not change. It is ugly as hell. But someone did say everything I did not think anyone would say.

Theres a whole section for car talk called General Automotive...

That car looks like a Sedan which has clearly been cut in half.
With that said, I hope it sells well enough for GM to give us our money back.

I like the front end and interior, but yeah, the back (hatch style) kills the sex appeal of the car.
