2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe at Keyes Cadillac in Woodland Hills

On Tuesday, representatives from Cadillac came by with two Cadillac CTS coupes for us to see.  Available in showrooms towards the end of summer, the CTS Coupe is sure to be a big hit with Cadillac drivers and we can expect to see a few new faces coming over from some of the European and Japanese brands as well.

In a blog post on AutoBlog.com, Jonny Leiberman sings his praises towards the in coming CTS Coupe, which is no small feet considering Leiberman states that next the Solstice, GM hasn't done much design wise since 1977!  So, for a moan with that paradigm to come out and express ooohs and ahhs for the CTS Coupe, now, that's saying something!

Let's take a look at what else Leiberman had to say...

"It's difficult to describe just how striking the CTS Coupe is in the flesh. Fresh, crisp, bold, sexy, smart, savvy and even – to quote Cadillac – audacious. We hate to swallow marketing pabulum of any sort, but in this situation, with this car, the descriptor "audacious" rings absolutely true. What other word could we use to explain the dramatic, emotional and complex combination of lines, angles and curves that make up this new Cadillac? "Brave" perhaps, but regardless of the adjective, the CTS Coupe is a shot across the design world's bow."

The CTS Coupe showed up the other day mising 2 inches in length, adding two inches to the rear and shaving two inches off the top.  They called it the 3 two's.  The windshield is pushed back making it sleeker and more aerodynamic.  They pulled off the door handles and put then in the door itself.  Very slick.  The tail pipes are put together and centered in the rear. 

Leiberman again:

"It all works fabulously; the Coupe is an aspirational shape, one that simultaneously signifies a suddenly reborn brand. Once again and for the first time in a while, we're talking world-class."

Once you climb inside you're escorted into the Cadillac class of luxury style and taste.  Leiberman's not a big fan of the inside, but that's OK.  He says it's remeniscent of Uncle Al's Caddy and again, that's OK because Uncle Al still shops here.
 
What's so great about this interior is that it, in my never to be humbled but slighty biased opinion is that is is applicable and appropriate for not only Uncle Al, but Uncle Al's kid, cousin Larry.  That being said, the CTS Coupe can span a few generations and make waves with performance luxury buyers of all ages.
 

 The bad new in all of this was that these ghost riders from Detroit had a CTS-V Coupe that all we were allowed to do was gawk and stare.  Unfortunately for all parties present, a test drive was out of the question, but when fired up and purring and humming the engine sound was pure magic. 
 
My buddy Leibeman drove it though...
 
"On the road, everything that's good about the four-door CTS is amplified in the coupe. You're lower to the road, the wider rear-track and sticky 19-inch summer tires provide gooey gobs of grip and the view out over the hood is definitely sporting. The only available Coupe engine is the more potent 304 horsepower, 274 pound-feet of torque 3.6-liter V6, as opposed to the sedan which can also be had with a less powerful 3.0-liter V6. Well, we shouldn't say "only available" as the full-mental patient 556-hp supercharged LSA motor will be available in the CTS-V Coupe when both models go on sale later this summer."
 
After the boys from Detroit pulled out to head over to another Cadillac dealership on their route I was left to wonder what kind of reception the CTS Coupe will recieve from the public.  Uncle Al and Cousin Larry are going to like it, I know that; I just wonder how the rest are going to take to it?  All in all the CTS Coupe is going to be a real nice addition to the Cadillac line and a for one am looking forward to having it on the lot.
 
Jonny summed it all up nice...
 
"At the end of the day, however, ride and handling, acceleration and even the interior aren't the point of the CTS Coupe. Style is, and in that regard Cadillac has grand-slammed it. Take a look at the competition. All of the previously mentioned Germans and Japanese two-doors simply can't hold a candle to the Coupe's glorious lines. The shape and the shape alone is what will attract buyers. And really, by taking the bold way out and "building the concept car," Cadillac has accomplished something we think is really, truly special. With the already gorgeous front end of the CTS coupled to the sculpted, athletic profile and sleek, groundbreaking rear, the Coupe is a powerful statement. Announcing that not only is GM on the road to recovery, but that Cadillac is once again ready to compete with the world's best."
