Next Week: 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img General Motors ::: 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
CADILLAC makes the most visually evocative cars on the road in the sub $100K market. Pointedly, they rule the sub-$50K market. The 2011 CTS Coupe brings a certain superstardom in at a low starting price – $38,165.
There’s drama in every edge and appropriate character line; all pointers to a carefully considered aesthetic. Visually, the 2011 CTS – Sedan, Sports Wagon, and Coupe – tip the hat to the past while looking boldly forward. Trouble is, the new Coupe’s driving manners are – at first turn of the wheel – not as inspired.
Will a week’s time improve the experience? Can the CTS Coupe’s beauty eclipse perceived foibles? More on this slick Caddy next week.
