    Cool. Squint and it's a bit like a GTA Blista Compact.

    I shall be having a Vice City test drive this evening.

    Nicely resolved design. Not quite my thing, but I'm sure it'll find lots of buyers.

    6 speed standard, Recaros as an option, IRS, and looks pretty nice. Why can't any other division of GM make good cars?

    The CTS is pointy, but not as much as this car. I'll hold back final judgment on the CTS coupe until I see one in the metal, but it looks daring and promising to me.

    I don't think the CTS range is very photogenic, but I can always contest that it is one of the best looking lineups on sale. I've seen a brand new black CTW at a store lot twice last weekend and my god it's gorgeous.

    Want to like but it is too angular. It's taken me this long to accept the sedan. As much as I love wagons, I may never embrace the CTS version, with its absurd rear end treatment.

    The rear windshield is like a sunroof, which is actually pretty cool for everyone except the people in the back seat, the driver who needs to back out of his driveway, and the kid standing immediately behind that car.

    Back-up camera should be standard. Please tell me it is at least optional.

    I have not been able to visit this site or my jfavorite Jalopnik fan site since I started slinging Cadillacs about 3 weeks ago. I have never been so damn excited about a product launch in my life that I am actually breaking company rules to post here and tell you that I have never been so excited about a product launch in my life.

    Repetition is key to sales.

    @SpardaFatalis: Basically--and this works for anything--if you are afraid of snow, go AWD. If you are not, go RWD. If it rarely or never snows where you live, all-wheel drive is a big ol' waste.

    @SpardaFatalis: Yep. Basically--and this works for everything--if you are afraid of snow, go AWD. If you enjoy life, RWD all the way.

    If it rarely snows where you live, the only excuse for owning an all-wheel-drive car is that the other version drives only the fronts.

    @SpardaFatalis: Rear-drive cars split the jobs of steering and power completely. Since all-wheel-drive cars will send both power and steering input through the front wheels, they are prone to understeer.

    And AWD systems are heavy. Heavy ain't good, not for acceleration, not for fuel economy. Plus, the added complication adds cost and adds more things to break.

    Since the first concept I've seen of this coup i could not stop thinking that a staggered rim size would benefit this design immensely. Pardon my Photoshop hack-and-slash. Ignore that the rear brakes are bigger then the front and that the car no longer sits level. You get the idea.

    I can't wait to see one of these piloted by one of our more senior hoons practicing the Art and Science of the blind lane change because he can't really figure out if there's a glazier's truck at his 5:00. Crash! Tinkle!
