No arguments here. Caddy hit a home run with the 2Gen CTS styling in all three versions.....coupe, sedan, and wagon.

I think the coupe looks very nice, almost as good as the wagon. One area I think Cadillac is missing is in the power department. The V-6 is OK and the CTS-V supercharged V-8 is out of sight. What is missing is something in the middle. Since GM has already done the work to get the V-8 in the CTS, why not the base Corvette V-8? The CTS-V is an AMG or M competitor where the base 'vette engine would be a 550 competitor. With 430hp, it would be very fast and would still handle well with the standard suspension.

It looks better in person but it still is very slabsided with very small windows.

WTF? I remember drooling over the CTS-V coupe concept, but I am not a fan of this production (?) model.

The car looks like a cheap knockoff of what a CTS-V coupe should have looked like.

I like the look of the wagon the best. I think it will give the A4 Avant a run for the money (at least in the looks department).
