a car for the American market. not interesting for the rest of us.

Cadillac looks to be heading in the right direction. Im not a fan of Cadillac styling and those lego block headlight on the whole line. If there quility can start matching some of the other elite competition. for GMs sake I hope they are trying to put a good product out there and get back people who have trusted the quility of these.

This car succeeds beautifully at what it’s designers intended it to do; attract attention. There is nothing else like it on the market, style-wise.

Anyone else think that the back doesn’t fit/match the front?

Wow, looks just like the concept vehicle!

I’m seeing a lot of MR2 influence in the design that I never noticed before.

it will be interesting to see how a Caddy coupe sells

I love the car but rear mass is sooo massive it needs like 22s on the rear. Also not a fan of mesh grille,that belongs in the kitchen

Yes, yes and yes. More like that please.

I appreciate Cadillac’s effort and their heart is in the right place. They’re headed in the right direction in the quality department, their reputation is improving, and they have the right idea as far as their lineup plan goes.

That said, the CTS/CTS-V Coupe’s numbers are exciting and enticing but it is a serious design fail. Is it a fastback or a fatback? The proportions are almost entirely wrong, and it’s too tall and slab-sided especially the quarter-panels and from the rear. It’s obvious that it won’t age well at all, and it looks somewhat dated already. It takes true “art and science” to be able to design a car that transcends, and this just doesn’t do it.

Sure, the sales numbers will look promising at first, but they’ll quickly taper off markedly. It simply doesn’t have the world appeal that’s so very important. I can’t comprehend why anybody would buy a CTS/CTS-V Coupe over the Mustang GT, Shelby GT500, Camaro, Challenger, G37 Coupe, 350Z (not 370Z, that’s a disaster), 3-Series Coupe, M3 Coupe, A5 Coupe, S5 Coupe, upcoming C Class Coupe, E Class Coupe, Corvette, Corvette Z06, Jag XK, Jag XKR, 6-Series, M6, GT-R, 911, Viper, M-B CL, M-B SL, or a used NSX, AM Vantage, 911 Turbo, or Continental GT. These are just some of the cars this poor thing has to compete with either directly or indirectly, so if someone out there does comprehend it, please explain it to me.

Also, I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but If this car is an indication of what we can expect from the XTS, then that too will be a huge dissapoinment.

Good luck, Caddy. Sorry, fanboys.

Really dude? Camaro and Mustang? Autopilot it sounds like you are the fanboy.

I think Cadillac looks (Square shape, headlights and trademark taillights) limits its design capabilities.

Autopilot – 80% of the cars you listed don’t even compete with the CTS-V Coupe. This new CTS-V Coupe is the best looking coupe in its price segment, by far.

You have no sense of style. You probably think a Nissan Cube is a good looking vehicle. LOL

I love this so much, I deff cant buy this new, my only hope its to be able to buy one used in a few years, but this is exactly what ive dreamed of for a caddy coupe!!!!!!!!!!

Coupe????? Where the hell is the coupe? This is no coupe, a fastback? Yes.

It still looks sharp though.

I really don’t know what this competes against. It’s gonna be pretty big I would imagine. I guess it’s Caddys version of a M6?.

fastback, coupe, whatever…….does anyone really care what its called, I mean if mercedes can call their 4door a coupe, …………..who complains about this 2 door being called a coupe??? Hateful, the cars dimensions arent big, and the cts is 5 series size, so this just competes with closer with an m3 then an m6 i would think, but thats only an opinion.

BRAVO Cadillac. Caddy is laying down the law and on it’s own terms. Kudos to Caddy for completely remaking it’s image from ghetto / pimp / senior citizen car to hip, 30/40-something hipster car. This car is beautiful. The best part is that it looks like a Cadillac, not a copy of a BMW or Lexus. I love the continuity w/ the SRX. Right on!

Darkvictory, GM is 9th(out of 38) in 3 year dependability with 1.5 problems per vehicle. Lexus is at 1.3, Mercedes at 1.8, BMW at 1.7.

Data shows that Cadillac is better than its competitors in dependability. But of course .5 problems per car is not much difference.

Autopilot your remarks are all kind of strange. There are several cars on your list there that I would easily choose a CTS-V over in a heartbeat. I mean the challenger, mustang, a5, Benz coupes? What areas are they going to out do the V in? The camaro rocks but will get out handled, the mustang is ok but slow, and so on and so forth. You’re all over the board here- not all cars with 2 doors are in the same class.

I can’t wait to drive this new V, good luck to all keeping up with it!

Autopilot, do you really think that a CTS-V Coupe is really in the same class as a 911 Turbo or Bently anything?

The biggest problem with Cadillac is that is, and remains, a “near-luxury” brand. It ceased being a luxury brand after the fifties and sixties. GM throws a big motor into a model, and little else, to attract attention.

I saw this video last night, so all I will say is LLN when do we get to see a head to head CTS-V Coupe and M3??

I like it when they trim the ‘V’… wait, what were we talking about?

The video was like an american Top Gear rip-off (without an annoying brit complaining about it being left hand drive)

@johnny
I don’t know but please tell me more about what you are talking about.
Any pictures or links to show what your talking about?

… this is the internet. It’s hard NOT to find pictures of what I’m talking about.

Wow I don’t like the coupe. Love the sedan but makes me not love it as much now?

LMAO…Sooo true..

The video seemed a bit overdone but this car is awesome! Cadillac is making BMW and Mercedes look lame.

Meh. Still looks like a rolling door wedge to me.

the first thirty seconds of the video looks like a commercial for 2012.

I can’t wipe the stench off my screen
Where’s a ShamWow when you need one!

A little help here……..

@Reedfast, very funny haha.

and @ AutoPilot WTF, Yeah I completely agree. I can’t see any reason why someone would buy this car when a Continental GT is available, or a Phantom, sh!t even an Exelero. Are you kidding me dude?

That car is sweet… For all of General Motors problems, Cadillac division ain’t one of them…

I think this car is going to have to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated. I’m really anxious to see this in person. If you can’t appreciate the V-series Cadillacs your not a true car enthusiast.
