    CTS coupe looks great!

    I have thought the CTS coupe looked like crap in magazines. I saw one in real life yesterday driving around. It was silver.

    I must say, it is a really really really good looking car! I dont know if i would say its "sexy" cause its too awkward looking to be sexy. But it really catches your eye and it looks really good. I was shocked by how much better it looks in person than in pictures. It doesn't look nearly as chunky in real life as it does in pictures. It almost looks...dare I say, elegant?

    those of you who have seen it in person, whats your take?

    Very interesting... if it ever comes across the pond, I'll have to take a look on it. I liked the front from the beginning, but the rear looks rather fugly on the pictures. However, i think that the Coupe's extremely angular design will not age well.

    it is what the word says: coupé, or in English "cut-off", meaning that it just looks the same until the B-pillar and then the chainsaw sets in. And it does so with straight cuts, which takes away any voluptuousness (if that is a word) from the car.
    In short, Rooster, we once more disaggree

    I actually agree with your description, especially in pictures. But for some reason, in person, to me, it looks great!

    I quite like it and have never seen one in person... living in S. Florida I'll probably see one soon.

    I haven't seen one yet, but my buddy over at LLN tested and reviewed one in California last month. He raved about the performance, giving it a pretty shining review. Styling isn't that appealing personally, but 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque could help me overlook that.

    The boomerang headlights really don't do it for me. The rest is fine though.

    The CTS coupe is nice I guess, but the rear is way too high up.
