Default New ctsv coupe just came into my work.

First one I've seen in person, it looks much better than in the pictures!



Starts at 62k, Weighs 200lbs less than the sedan.

I just bought a 2009 cts with the premium package and it hands down made me want a 2009 cts-v. Its a friggin 4000lb caddy that without a doubt handles better than my lowered/ new sway bars 2010 ss. I would possibly kill someone for a 2010 cts-v coupe.

Yes, it comes with the LSA that is in the Sedan. And the wagon will have to the same engine as well.

I went to a Cadillac dealership on Friday for some work, and they just took delivery of a V coupe. Recaro seats, suede steering wheel, 556hp engine, must have been 10" wide wheels, 255 front tires, 285 rear tires, rear seats looked more functional than expected. If it's lighter than a 4 door, it's a WINNER.

It will be... if it gets the hole shot anyone racing you is guaranteed to need a barf bag...

Hard to win a race when you're vomiting.

Saw one today at Williamson.... actually, it looks better in person though the spacing of the rear quarter panel to wheel well just looks to much.

But interior is pimp and you cannot go wrong with the LSA. Whipples and KB's are readily available now and that in itself would make this a fun right.

Not feeling the car much, but do want to see one in person before I pass final judgement. I surely wouldn't buy one (maybe the sedan), but am curious how they do. Station wagon, too? ugh GM.

Sadly judging by the pics the wagon looks much better than the coupe, that picture above is the best angle of the rear of those cars I've seen yet. The C-pillar to rear bumper transition makes no sense.

Get out of my head!!! I saw a wagon in traffic it has surround sound brake lights... I thought to myself.... If I ever require a damn wagon that's the one I'll buy...

Then I saw the coupe and I thought to myself... I wonder how much a motor swap is to a wagon??? - THAT'S HOW FUGLY IT IS!

I could be wrong about the weight. I was going off of the motor trend article.

I agree that the wagon looks better. I hope they decide to make it.

I didn't give the coupe a chance at first, but its way better in person.

^^^ so i'm still trying to find the logic in the sedan. the V's real niche is the sedan...

just my .02 although I don't think the coupes look that bad now that I've seen one in person.
