The interior on the first CTS was so stark and cheap it was, IMO, an insult.

I agree, the lines between cars for old and young people is getting blurred. I'm seeing younger drivers in Avalons which was the classic geezer mobile before the new gen came out. The new ES 350 is attracting younger buyers too. I've also read that older buyers are snapping up Scions and Honda Elements, go figure. I guess a good car is a good car no matter ones age.

Well, it certainly does appeal to me. This new model really does look much better than the old one. The interior is no comparison. I had the V6 CTS for a week as a rental and it drives and handles quite well. The interior however, was a real turnoff. With new sheetmetal and a new, more luxurious interior, it should sell well. I think it does appeal to import oriented buyers, cause I'm one of them and I will give this car serious thought.
