Cadillac plans to offer its first coupe in many years with the introduction of the next-generation CTS, according to AutoWeek. While the program has yet to be approved, Vice Chariman Bob Lutz is said to be a strong proponent. If GM moves ahead with a coupe version of the CTS, it would likely be offered as a 2008 or 2009 model, arriving a year after the sedan. It would target the Mercedes CLK, Infiniti G35, and BMW 3-Series . While the CTS coupe could be developed quickly, a more ambitious coupe project could also be undertaken, according to the report. There’s speculation of a more expensive model based on the Cadillac Sixteen concept that would compete in the range of the BMW 6-Series and Mercedes CL-Class.
