2011 CTS Coupe Ordering Guide Online

[ClassyEldo]

Cadillac has posted the 2011 CTS Coupe Online Ordering Guide and Reference Guide:

It's interesting that the rear view camera in non-Navigation equipped models will be in the rear view mirror (rather than Nav screen), but most will probably be the higher level trim models including Nav. The Guide is unclear to me about the Recaro seating option, on a non-V-Series car, but Cadillac has announced this option for all CTS's. The paddle shifters apparently require the summer performance tire option and RWD. I'm really anxious to know what the new "Evolution Green" color looks like! Has anyone seen this color? This is one great Coupe!

Exciting stuff.

I thought the Recaro seats were coming as standard equipment on the CTS-V, CTS Coupe, and CTS-V Coupe, but were remaining an option on lesser sedan models.

Slight disappointment to be found in the paddle shifter apparently having to be ordered with the summer performance tire option and RWD.

I, too, am now curious about the "Evolution Green" color option.

It is a real disappointment to read that the glass sunroof is "tilt only" on the CTS Coupes! This is all the big Audi Coupes do, too! It hardly seems worth ordering if it can't be opened to let the sun shine on you! I was suspicious when I saw the large glass panel on the first official photos released--but hoping the sunroof would open partially horizontally! This news might even be a deal breaker for me!

I'm considering buying the new CTS sport coupe as my next daily driver.

Anyone know when the car will show up at dealerships? Caddy's web site says "summer 2010." That doesn't tell me much.

Thanks!

Well, if there's no navigation system, there's no nav screen......right?

They had to put the rear camera image somewhere.

I wonder if the green is gonna be as bright as the Synergy Green on the Camaro. I have a feeling itll be a tad bit toned down or maybe even a dark metallic green.

I hope so! Like Polo Green from the early 90's.

Oooh, that would be SO nice! Naturally just the color I'd want.
