Hi megeebee,

Thank you for the link. I simply think this is the third best Cadillac concept, I think it is just simply gorgeous along with Evoq and Cien. I cannot wait to see this car in person.

I too can barely wait. I suspect the production version will be shown at Detroit next January.

This has complicated my own plans. The lease on my 2005 CTS expires this December. I had planned to get a 2009 or left over 2008 CTS sedan at that time. Knowing that the coupe will be out by late next summer has me thinking. I suspect what I will do now is buy my '05 (which I love) and keep it until late summer/ early fall when a coupe becomes available. I don't think it's being too optimistic to say the coupe will be an out-of-the-park hit, and it may may be well into October of 2009 before I could snag one.

megeebee,

I like your plan. Honestly, the new CTS Coupe is my favorite Cadillac design to date equal to the Cadillac XLR. If I could consider two coupes in the XLR and CTS Coupe, but the timing is not what I am looking for and I not sure I want create such a dilemma for myself. Which beautiful Cadillac coupe do I wish to drive today? Mmmm, what a wonderful thought.

megeebee,

You can say that again. It has been nothing short of spectacular owning Cadillac's STS V8 and XLR. I clearly am a Cadillac fan today and loving every minute. But I must admit, the new CTS Coupe really looks simply WOW!

Interestingly, they had this Coupe concept ready in 2006. Check the details:

really really good G37 competitor

I have read elsewhere on this board that Nissan (Infiniti) is very concerned about this car. Their hold on the luxury coupe market may not last too much longer than next summer.

I just love this quote:

"The sharp, flared CHMSL replaces a rear spoiler, which Dean describes as the modern car's vinyl top and whitewalls."

Awesome - build it! And, GM should build a Chevrolet Chevelle based on the same platform....
