Cadillac CTS Coupe

So this weekend, I had to bring my Vette into the dealer for its annual inspection. The dealership is a Corvette, Chevrolet and Cadillac dealer.

They had a few 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupes. It was the first time I've seen one in person.

Nice car, interesting shape and design. I kind of liked it. However, as you look at the side of the car, from the end of the doors to the back it gets REALLY tall.

And then there is the butt. Talk about oblong! It's huge!!!!!! That just about ruined it for me.

It's one of those cars you have to see in person. It looks better than in the magazines. Until you get to the ass-end. And then it's pretty much a:

I was really hoping for a modern update to the Eldorado, but that ass isn't it!

the local dealership here had the new CTS coupe and CTS-V coupe... just like you, I was fine till the rear... looks kinda like an overweight new acura rear spaceship

Starting to see a lot of these on the street in Phoenix. I really like them but last night I saw one on the freeway at night and ther tailights looked like an SRX from a distance. That was a bit disappointing. Dealers are advertising deals on 12 month single pay leases so hopefully there will be some nice lease returns for me in a year

I liked the cockpit most of all. Really got my attention. I agree the back end needs improvement but the car looks much better live than in a picture.
