that is a very sharp looking coupe.

Agreed. I don't think they should have dropped the Eldorado when they did. A slightly-stretched CTS coupe-platform would probably make a perfect new Eldorado today.

I doubt that we'll be seeing the Eldo name resurrected by Cadillac any time soon. It's not the direction they are headed.

While I do prefer the sedan version to this, good for Cadillac making a coupe and making it so soon

If I ever get a Macan just for s**** and giggles I'm replacing the M with a B just to see the responses

mmarshall

Directions can be changed.

LexBob2

Backwards isn't usually a good direction to go.

I think it looks nice but it seems like, with the loss of 2 doors, it has also lost some of the aggressiveness of the sedan. Can't really explain it.

I want to like it, but something is seriously throwing it off. I think it's the small tires again and the small wheel cutouts. The car looks like it's running on tires that are completely worn out or two sizes too small. This, when added to the thick and tall rear end from just behind the rear wheel, coupled with no rear bumper, creates too much body mass in back. Wheelwells more in proportion like the Audi A5 would have lent a better look here. Cadillac seems to be stuck on this problem with their recent coupes and sedans.

I must say however, it's nice to finally see Caddy give a slight trunk to their coupe. Hopefully they'll continue this and get away from the cheap hatchback look (CTS). The most successful and legendary luxury coupes in recent times have all had trunks- Lexus SC and Infiniti G.

I like the looks of this coupe better than the new BMW 4-series, which I just saw on the road yesterday for the first time.

Would you take the ATS Coupe over the new 4-Series if you were replacing the 335i convertible

mmarshall

I wouldn't call it backwards. I think there would be a significant market for a new Eldo....particularly a convertible.


I haven't reviewed a new 4-series yet (I hope to at least look at and sit in one at the D.C. Auto Show next week), so I can't give a definitive answer on that yet. But the old turbo/straight-six 335i was, IMO, an absolute gem....arguably my favorite RWD car from a purely-driving sense. The ATS is well-built, plush inside, and has almost race-car handling, but the suspension is quite stiff and lacks the 335i's superb ride/handling balance. Some other new BMWs, though, seem to have lost their former superb steering feel with the new electric systems....I would assume that also will apply to the new 4-series.
