Review: 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
Bold Ride
March 8, 2012

One of the best cars I have ever driven is the CTS-V Coupe. Which is funny because when I first saw photos of it, I assumed I wouldn’t like it at all. It just didn’t look right. How quickly I was proved wrong.

If Darth Vader had a daily driver, it would be the CTS-V Coupe. It’s simply bad-ass from every consideration. The car is nothing but right angles; there’s nothing Euro about it with all those crazy-looking lines. Yet they made it work really well. Even the paint job of the tester I received was incredible. It was Diamond Black and it has metal flake mixed in. It had so much “flake” to it that when the light hits it, it sparkles like a disco ball. I loved it. Top that off with black wheels, a black interior and faint blue LED lighting accents on and under the dash – the only other car with a similar lighting system such as this is a Maybach – and the finished visual affect is stunning.

I really like this car, but I still don't see too many around.

The guy in the article needs to do his research. LSA doesn't = LS9. It also stops VERY well,, just look at the numbers.

"...there is nothing euro about it...". Wonder how many cadillac's that will apply to soon, how american cars for that matter .

i think what he refers to 'might' be how firm the pedal is. i drove one for 150 miles or so the other day, and that was the one thing that i noticed about the car. you have really step on the pedal to stop-just firm is all-but it stops just fine

Something to keep in mind, most cars noted for good brake feel rely on pressure as much as they do travel for the brake pedal.

What I love about the V is that it's uniquely American and not something to have an apology about. A four door muscle machine wrapped in a tuxedo, I wish GM could execute like this far more often.

CTS V coupe is a stunningly fast and fun drive!

I have my driven the sedan on a track and the brakes are completely awesome once you heat them up a bit. The brake dust is completely too much though

The coupe is one sexy machine!

Just passed the dealer by my house and they have one just like the image out front next to a wagon. The both of then especially the coupe looks stunning.

agreed. hate it when people do that.

the coupe looks ok,but the rear end looks hideous,hopefully the redesign is much more appealing to the eye

I love the look of that car and the performance is phenomenal. I'd love to have one! Not gonna happen though.
