I was thinking the cme was exclusive with the titanium exhaust on the Z06's, I was wrong.

He never said he was trying to name every car that ever came with a CME, I doubt he forgot about C5s.

Back on topic, the weight difference isn't nearly enough to make this car attractive for me. You loose all of the utility of the sedan and only save 18lbs. It would have to be at least 300lbs lighter to make it worth it IMO.

Just seems like the most obvious one on this particular forum, and me being my usual charming self.

It's all good, for some reason I felt the need to call you out on it.

i hate the front because i dont like how it exaggerates the front bumpers under the lights, it should hav been smooth like the 09. and the rear end shouldnt be as edgey..

otherwise i love it. i love how it doesnt look like every other boring sedan out there

That would be because it's a coupe, not a sedan. But I do agree with you.

Very well designed car, IMO! I think Cadillac really outdid themselves on this one, the body lines really set the car apart from the rest on the luxury performance cars. I think GM is headed in the right direction with these new designed cars that can appeal to just about any budget. I'm just glad they are still making performance cars, and not trying to become a Honda or Toyota with their BS cars.

The back half of that car is completely and utterly hideous. God awful.

It resembles the styling of a "crossover" more than anything else.

That looks pretty good, I like it. I don't know how I feel about exhaust though, I'd rather have it out more to the sides instead of in the middle, but that's IMO.

I concur. However, that is one butt-ugly car. It has the geneology of the rest of the new Cadillacs, and the apple definitely fell right under the tree.
