Its almost enough for me to forget about that horrid 3rd brake light Caddilac has always loved. Its almost enough for me to stop thinking the center exhaust just doesn't look right by the way(to me) it makes the car look fat and strangely balanced in the rear. The interior still bothers me. My biggest problem is with the vents.

Almost enough...


I am digging that front end though.

Cool car/concept, but visually things look awkward for me from the rear quarter view.

Sedan pricing started at $60,720 in 2010...I would expect $62-65k or so...
I have driven the V sedan and it is an inpressive beast!

Good luck if the starter goes out.
It's in the engine valley...under the intake manifold.

To me, the whole point of a coupe is to look sleek and sexy. That looks neither to me. If I were to get a CTS-V, it would be the sedan.

The CTS-V sedan starts around $60k, and I would expect the coupe to be even a bit higher, given the lower production numbers of the platform and the other luxury brands charge more for coupe versions (ex. the M6 is $17k higher than the M5. Heck, event he M3 coupe is $3k higher than the M3 sedan).

And, at that price point, this car just doesn't make sense to me.

With that many horses, it can be clumsy looking, it will kick just about anything's butt!

??? How'd you arrive at this? Never seen or heard of that. The LSA's block is based off the LS3 externally the same as all LS's save for the supercharger on top which sits low in the valley itself. Not only do I not see how this could be achieved given the space and knowing what the insides of LS engines look like by heart but also where the starter is supposed to engage.

The CTS's engine bay has enough room to accomodate a starter on a standard LS such as the forebearer's LS2 so I don't see how or why this could/would be achieved.


Drool very nice. My bet on price range? 65+K
