It looks like a hatchback to me. I think the sedan looks much better too!

I don't understand the car, it's not much lighter. So can't be that much faster, yet you have less space and the driver/front passenger has to get out of the car to let the rear occupants in/out....seems stupid to me.

They need to redesign the coupe... I would sooo jump on the sedan over the coupe any day... maybe if it was a good 500 or 600lbs lighter

Come on out to Detroit, I've seen about 10 so far. And one Coupe V!

They look pretty slick in person, but not my cup of tea. Now the V-wagon, I'm sold!

I like the way it looks, but my interest in the CTS-V is driven by the fact that it is a sedan.

500-600 pounds is a good amount lighter in my book... with that said i would still want a sedan coming from the V1.. its actually a practical 400hp car.. i folded the seats and brought home over a dozen pieces of lumbar the other day

so how much lighter is it really?

I don't understand that, they chopped the roof by 2 inches IIRC, shouldn't that alone remove 16 lbs of structure?

i think the V coupe is a great idea, but this was not a good attempt.

the back window looks retard and it is basically the same size and the coupe. get to the "what was the point" thing. with a few tweaks in the design and a little bit of a diet, she would be great.

I have no appearance issues, but the weight loss should have been greater.

I agree! The pictures don't do this car justice. It looks pretty tough in person. Seen plenty of them around here but I still prefer the 4 door.

but you have to add bracing to make up for chopping the roof.
