Wow. Good one!!

What caught my attention was the judges.

Chris Bangle of BMW.

And Jack Telnak. He is former head of Ford design. The 2002 Thunderbird was his last major product for Ford.

Yes,
no matter how biased one is, beauty is beauty, and CTS is all about beauty

I think that the fact Chris Bangle was there further emphasises this.

Chris bangle and his design team can learn a thing or two from cadillac.

Cadillac will be a huge force in the next few years...They just need to get the CTC Coupe out much faster...Maybe they will surprise us.

**ChevroletRevived** · 01-19-2008, 06:47 PM

A much deserved award! Cadillac has REALLY gotten it's act together in a very dramatic way. Some more awesome stuff is coming in the pipeline too. I can't wait until Cadillac brings back the Standard of the World slogan again. You know they're thinking about it....

Man, the coupe is just freakin' beautiful. I think I want to make it my next car... Preferably the CTC-V. That would be just awesome. Hopefully they twin turbo the DI 3.6 and add all wheel drive.

Bangle could learn a thing or two from a Cross-eyed Mandrill.

I am completely and hopelessly in love with the interior of the CTS coupe. Oh please, let it make production with those materials and colors.

Cadillac is definately hitting it's stride, but GM as a whole is really having a resurgence!! Great to see!

I think he could a lot of things from just about anyone. BMWs have turned ugly in recent years under Bangle's reign of terror.

But everyone on god's green earth has to admit, Bangle is one heck of a smart dude.

ponyok67 · 01-20-2008, 01:22 PM

Cadillac has become the fresh, creative design force in the business. Period.

VibenPontiac · 01-20-2008, 04:53 PM

The more and more I see that Coupe the more I like it...I've gone from very sweetly executed to drooling all over myself!
