I'd buy the sedan over the coupe, I really hate the rear of it.

It looks alot better on the road than it did in the original concept pictures. I still think they butchered the back end of that car. I look forward to seeing 1/4 mile times, and I am sure we will be seeing Nurburgring times soon.

Agree with above - better than the concept pictures, but need to see in person. But, pricing will be up there I'm sure!

I don't know. Part of me loves it and part of me hates it....

I just can't make up my mind about it yet.

I can't stand the back of the car. Cool idea though.

I like it. Can't say more or less than the sedan, they are quite different. Any weight specs for the coupe?

I like it. It would be nice if Caddy would make a lower priced naturally-aspirated LSx version of the coupe when/if they release it. I'm sure I speak for a ton of people out there who can't or wouldn't go for a "2nd gen" Supercharged V because of the price tag. As cheap as the "1st gen" CTS-Vs have gotten a used non-supercharged Coupe would probably be affordable to the average person out there after a few years of production lol.


The 2nd pic reminds me of a Jagged Altima Coupe lol. I think Nissan has an ad with an action shot for the Altima in the same color similar angle..

You know after reading a bit more, for only being 18lbs lighter than the sedan and not really offering anything more... I'd still stick with the 4-door model.

I like the sedan better. I got a feeling this coupe isn't gonna' sell well.

I love the CTS-V's, unless it's considerably lighter IMHO, I think the sedan will still do better. The rear does look a little busy, I do dig the idea!
