I love the CTS, but it should stay a sedan.

Caddy needs this if they really want to compete with BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti, and the other luxury marquees. Can't wait to see them on the road.

We need a TCL Regional Forum so CLICK HERE and vote in favor of it.

Cadillac needs a coupe to stay relevant. the XLR is a miserable fail as much as I do love it. I think the high rear beltline is great for storage( I own a mkIII).

salt the skies.

damnit. somehow I lost the pumpkin.

that is a great looking car imho...now a V version would really rock!

The production wheels really take the edge off of the design.

Ugly. Only my opinion, of course.

Drifting, which tends to attract poorer, more marginal men, has also been an unlikely nexus between homosexuality, crime and jihadism since it emerged 30 years ago. Homoerotic desire is a constant theme in songs and poems about drifting, and accomplished drifters are said to have their pick of the prettiest boys among the spectators.

I like the sedan but something doesn't look right about this coupe.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
"Wow! What a Ride!"

I love stocky, hunkered down sport coupes.

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

It's ok, belt line going up too high IMO.

Fugly is a modern day auto industry plague. No cure yet and it's spreading fast.
