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.
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!
Its truly stunning, and easily the best looking luxury car out there today. It'll also be the most desirable luxury machine this side of the Atlantic as soon as Ford finally ends production of the Lincoln Town Car.
Now. I'm still going to have to say, its not the best in history. 1959's DeVille, and Lincoln's incredible Mark IV Continentals are still in a whole different league.
Damn fine lookin' coupe if you ask me. The latest and perhaps best iteration yet of 21st Century Cadillac zaniness. Art + Science Fiction. I hope the Philly Car Show has one, cuz I want to see it in the flesh ASAP.
@JC Whitless: You really need to quit scoping people's gay nephews. BTW, mine drives a Mustang GT500. If I'm nice he might let me drive it when he visits the family for Thanksgiving. He's a great kid and welcome at my house any time. He's also a tough little bastard and can kick a homophobe's ass six ways from Sunday.
I think they should have put a turbo in it gas/diesel, doesn't matter. Otherwise, it's a lost ball in tall weeds. It has no home. It won't come to live at my house.
I stirred up a little controversy among my car-guy buddies last year when I declared I would choose a CTS over a 3-series or a G35, and that my preference was based solely on aesthetics. I think the CTS sedan is stunning. But this coupe? Frankly, I don't get it. It's not ugly, not really, but it's...weird. Like, French weird. Or XR4Ti weird. Sorry, Cadillac, but I don't see you peeling off many G37 shoppers with this. (But hey, kudos for trying.)

It's been a strange day...

Still, the fact that the CTS has seen the light of production is the one bit of good news I've had thus far.

Good news, though, it is. GM lives!

700-800 cubic inches is the norm.

But it is to bad to dream of having that big of a naturally aspirated beast?

This isn't your fathers Eldorado. It looks more like your gay nephews Prelude.

I meant that a little tongue-in-cheek, but my point is the same.
