That's great news. I actually love the CTS coupe's design. Just hope they don't change it up too much. But judging from GM's sticking to the Camaro's concept design I think the CTS coupe will stay very close to the concept. Go GM! :yup:
Let's hope that the CTS-V coupe will weigh much less than the sedan version. I can't believe that a mid-size car like the CTS-V sedan weighs as much if not more than a Mercedes or BMW. With the Corvette, the engineering team does everything they can to shave the curb weight, but the CTS-V seemed to gain a lot more weight over the 04-07 CTS-V. I guess they just topped on as much crap as they could to the car without a care as to the curb weight.
If the CTS-V weighs 4200-4300 lbs. at least give it 600+ hp so that the car won't feel so heavy. At that weight and with that size engine, god knows what the gas guzzler tax is going to be on the window sticker.
GM did an amazing job with the car, but the weight is a big factor for fuel economy and acceleration, etc.
I am still going to get the 2009 CTS-V, but my biggest problem with the car is it's weight!
Well, they had that very Coupe practically concept ready in 2006, so I wouldn't worry about possibly being ready for september 2009. I mean, it is possible, but I was just wondering if they would do it. Haven't followed the media lately and was pleasantly surprised about the "reveal" on this forum.
I think the coupe will be right on the heals of the sedan. I hear it's even better looking than the sedan but if the pictures I saw are the real-deal, I'm not feeling it personally. Anybody have some links to pics?
Just got my latest Autoweek and don't you know there's pictures in there. Don't see what all the interest is. Don't like the side or even rear 3/4 view for that matter. Looks okay from the front and front 3/4 view but that's about it IMO.
And what's with that stupid-looking vent?
I just had a chat with the Cadillac Dealer. It is confirmed that the CTS-V will be officially launched in Europe, rather than the 10 limited imports of the first 04-05 v-series.
Also the Coupe will come to Europe and of course the wagon. Uncertain is the Coupe-V, but the dealer expressed his interest at the European import/planning meeting for 2008-2009. So, if it comes, I will be one of the first in Europe to get hands on the coupe-v!
