By: Nick Saporito
Earlier today Cadillac showed us the 2011 CTS Coupe here in Los Angeles ahead of the show. Cadillac management was on hand to relay some details of the car that were unclear prior to today, so below is an outline of the new information.
- There will be a V-Series Coupe and Sport Wagon. This was confirmed numerous times today.
- The CTS-V Coupe will have subtle design cue differences versus the regular Coupe. One that was noted is that the CHMSL will be larger on the V Coupe to assist in downward drag.
- The Coupe has an electronic parking brake, something that is currently not featured on the sedan.
- The trunk has goose-neck hinges and is decently sized.
- Rear seats do fold down.

Looks pretty good to me.

Re: Live Shots, New Information on CTS Coupe
Those pics were snapped right before GM's announcement that the CTS Coupe was ousted and replaced with Ed Whitacre.

Re: Live Shots, New Information on CTS Coupe
Looking at how the rear is structured, it appears as though GM had no choice but to go with goosenecks.

I loved them on the Vette and XLR. Glad it is making its way down. Originally Posted by FenwickHockey65

Re: Live Shots, New Information on CTS Coupe
Looks great overall but the speakers on the back seat side panels look cheap.
