Nice interior. If only the CTS had something more like that. Too bad it just looks soo front wheel drive with the very slight axle-to-dsah ratio. I hope it does well in Europe but please, Cadillac, keep it off of our shores.

Keep it off our shores?-- maybe... Don't guess the brand needs to be brought to far down price-wise... But it looks very nice.

Hmmmmm...I'd take one. This is a very nice vehicle by it's looks inside and out. This car has just the right blend of refinement, luxury, sleekness, and fine lines, while remaining sporty. This combination makes for one beautiful Caddy.

I don't care for it, but I can't exactly say why. Maybe it's the stance, or something. It looks cheap. And the "name" is the worst one yet!

Yeah- I'm not big on the name either. It sounds like a joke. "ATS" would have been more appropriate (if they had to have something before "C").

Woah! I am REALLY impressed. Defiantly more CTS then STS. Now my question is...exactly what sheet metal is shared with the 9-3? This thing looks great from all the angles and I love the interior. I do have to agree with y'all about the name though. BLS sounds to much like a "BLT"

And theres that radio again. Nothing wrong with it. Just seems like GM is making this Alfa Romeo unit their corporate radio the way they did the Delco. But it isn't so obvious and ugly and doesn't seem out of place like the old one did. Its looks very classy, with its symmetrical design.

Ozone, that isn't the same radio. The one in the BLS seems to be the new corporate radio they'll be using.

edit: Oops read it wrong, sorry Ozone

Ahh, the classic Delco. I always thought it was messed up that the Corvette had the same looking radio in it as our Chevy Venture. lol

I guess no sheetmetal is shared with the 9-3, but a lot with Vectra. It looks just like a Vectra with a Caddy nose and tail.

The corvette even had the same radio as Chevy's commercial pickup line. :rotf:

Oh geez I like that! I don't care what anyone says... they should bring that to North America... I want a Caddy too! Wait! I have an idea. Apparently we Canadians like smaller cars... why not sell it north of the border... good way to test-market it for Europe!
