That Nice Guy Beck!


Smokescreen

having put a number of miles on both the CTS and the 335, I can honestly say I'd take the Caddy..  Not the first time in my life.  When I was 16 I almost got a Sedan Deville Convo instead of my Jeep.  But for different reasons this time.  The general's finally done it.  These cars are nice.  And great for driving.  And that was the sedan.  I'm sure a CTS-V coupe would be a trick and a half.  After all, that alloy small block is no slouch.
Catching a yellow-jacket in your shirt at seventy miles per hour can double your vocabulary.

That's a pretty sweet ride.

I was just looking at the Cadillac website and they also have the CTS-V, which has 556 HP   :o

The Coupe concept car is a turbo diesel:

My dad used to say Caddies are for dead people.   ;D

no wonder i always see them driven by grey haired drivers who cant see over the steering wheel.
i just assumed they drove like that because they where sleeping..

Isn't the coupe based on the Corvette?
I have to say, I do like the styling.

never liked the new caddy front grill and light design.

still don't, way too boxy and angular looking.

sure you say lamborghini does that angular look with the gallardo and it looks good, but when caddy does it on a larger scale it just looks too heavy, and ugly in the process.

fix that front of the car a bit and then we are talking.

I used to drive a 96 Eldorado ETC.
The northstar 32valve motor had it's problems... but running strong wasn't one of them.
330hp from the factory, that sucker picked up like no car i'd ever driven.
Sounded like a make the beast with two backsing MONSTER too. Especially on that one day the muffler fell off completely...
LOUD.
I love the CTS.

I've owned a few Caddies. My favorite car I have ever owned was my 1996 Seville STS. A few minor mods and the thing was an incredible sleeper. Plus the Northstar was bulletproof. It rode well, got 25+ mpg on the highway. Was very comfy. And looked good to boot.

One of the more recent absolutely insane giggle inducing cars I have driven was the CTS-V belonging to a friend. His wife just got an M3 for her birthday. Anyway, the CTS-V was an absolute blast to drive. Not like Ariel Atom or Lotus Elise fun but for a sedan, probably the most fun I have had on 4 wheels in a long time.

And while I can't say the Science and Technology styling is my favorite, I will say that it is alot better than a few of the other directions that they could have gone.

I used to not like Caddys but these new ones are not the great big ocean going ships of yester-year. They used to be like driving you living room couch but it seems no more. Now its more like, do I get the 5 series BMW, the E350 Merc or the Caddy?

Looks good, except for the front end and headlights. Looks like a sporty car with an old man's front end attached.  :-\

I would drive that car, no problem.

One of the most fun cars I have ever been in was a supercharged CTS-V. Some custom-shop outfit "Perfection Motorsports" had done a lot of work to it, and it sounded like a full-bred racecar. People on Broadway / 2nd Ave in downtown Nashville had no idea what was going on.
