Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I saw this at the NY Auto Show. This was the one car that stood out to me. All the angles... made me love it. To put it in one word: dangerous.

Good luck seeing anything behind you.

The front looks great, but the ass is amazingly huge and it's not a compliment.

Fotzlid · 04-11-2008, 05:51 PM

I'm not a big fan of the angular design of the new Caddy's but I will give them credit for being different.
The new coupe looks pretty good, but they need to do something with the vast expanses of sheet metal and plastic that is the rear quarters and rear bumper. Way too much surface area.

Front? Caddy. Back? Prius.

Because when I think Italian cars, I think Caddy. Heh.

Besides, my tuned Eclipse can beat the measly 140 mph top speed of the CTS.

I saw it at the NYAS too, and while I thought the back would look bizarre in person, it certainly grew on me. Caddy absolutely NAILED the big mouth grill on the newer rides. VERY sharp looking car.

It's funny, it doesn't look THAT different from what they have on the road now. I kind of like it, but somehow it doesn't seem that exclusive or exotic. meh, prob just me...

silent_jay · 04-14-2008, 07:53 AM

Not a fan, and that is a fat, ugly ass on that thing.

crxforum · 04-27-2008, 11:07 PM

Ive always thought that the last few years of Cadillac cars look like those things on the infomercials where you shred lettuce and cucumbers on them. Not too appealing to me at all.

I love the front end on that thing, but the rest, no thanks. I enjoy it from the front, right up to the crack in the back of the door.

ChrisJericho · 05-01-2008, 09:06 PM

Heavy and slow.

inBOIL · 05-01-2008, 09:20 PM

I'll bet that trunk fits a lot of junk. Seriously though, that thing's hideous.

When I hear concept I think of the Camaro Coupe Concept. Is it mean of me to compare the two, because I think this CTS isn't bad, but only the 05 Mustang Model comes near the camaro!!!
