The coupe could have a V too?

I hope so!

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!

SG

I would not worry a lot about acceleration ;-)

The coupe concept looks great! Looking forward to the V

Now tht we will have a V Coupe, I am hoping for a V convertible. That I could not resist.

Do some photoshop on the coupe to imagine the convertible.

Thanks for the confirmation on the coupe-V. Sorry bringing it up again.

So, being "shown next year" makes a CTS-V Coupe a possibility as early as . . . . 2011?

The CTS-V for 2009
The CTS-V Coupe for 2010
The CTS-V Coupe for 2011?

The CTS Coupe is was "shown" as a concept car.

I would look at 2010 model introduced in late 09.

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?

Here is a picture of the coupe.

what about the rear? I'm not sure if I like it. The front is fantastic!

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?

Pay no attention to those vents. The beancounters at GM will make sure that they are shared with the sedan on the production version.

I don't know why, but I love how the exhaust tip is roughly the shape of the Cadillac Crest.

The vent isn't so much the issue (although I'm tired of them showing up on virtually every new Cadillac) as the way they tie it into the belt line. Looks stupid IMO.
And as for the exhaust, I'd normally say not to worry, that it would NEVER make it to production but then you have the SRT8 Jeep.....so who knows?

Love the coupe. And BTW, those are the wheels the sedan should've had. Classy, aggressive, beautiful.

Love the coupe. And BTW, those are the wheels the sedan should've had. Classy, aggressive, beautiful.Optionally, obviously...Im sure everyone buying a base $30K CTS wants to buy tires for staggered 20"/21" wheels that they can't even rotate...

Look at the CTS Sport rims from Sema. Wheels look like these but as 20" all around.

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:

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!
