I've been searching the internet trying to find an uncamoflaged picture of the production car for months with no success. I've seen reports which state that the coupe will look very much like the concept and heard a Caddy salesman tell me that the coupe will be a two door replica of the sedan (of course we all know that salesmen are the last to pickup on any real news). I'm planning to buy a CTS next year and would like it to be a coupe, but that chunky fastback concept design has me concerned. Worst case scenario, I'll get a sedan, but would prefer a coupe.
Do NOT believe the salesperson .It is NOT a 2door version of the sedan . The coupe is 98% of the showcar i.e. 1" smaller wheels , slightly different rear bumper for crash , b-pillar instead of hardtop/pillarless glass , the sedan front end sheetmetal . The coupe production car will be shown at Pebble Beach the weekend of the Pebble Beach Concours 8/17/08 . If you do like the coupe showcar , there is no reason for you not to like the production version .Wait until you see the actual car before you make up your mind .
