Default Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all

Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all



The 2014 Cadillac CTS made a big splash last week at the New York Auto Show, but now that we've seen the sedan, we can start to wonder about whether coupe and wagon versions are in the cards. According to Edmunds, Cadillac is at least considering bringing back the CTS Coupe for a second generation, which seems like an even better chance since the brand's global marketing director, Jim Vurpillat, was quoted as saying that the car was the top-selling luxury coupe in the industry.

Of course, this goes against reports we heard last year that Caddy's coupe and wagon would live on just not under the CTS name, but the interview with Vurpillat has us hopeful for a next-generation CTS Coupe. If it does come to fruition, we would expect the new two-door to have a largely unique exterior design like the current CTS Coupe, to echo that of intended rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and even the high-dollar BMW 6 Series.

They would be out of their minds not to offer a coupe. People like coupes. Your competition produces coupes. Build coupes. Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Lincoln this also applies to you too

I really hope they decide to consider all three body styles again, sedan, coupe, and wagon. But at the very least the coupe would look beautiful with the new body style. Dare I say the best looking between it, the E coupe, and the 6 series.

The current CTS Coupe is beautiful, but the front end is now stale because it was introduced long ago in the CTS Sedan. If they roll one out quickly with the new CTS front end it should be a stunner.

I think they should offer it, but they need to make it look a bit better. The current CTS coupe is a bit odd looking. Not ugly but a bit odd i the rear and angular.
