The coupe will feature a backup camera which is not currently found on the sedan, and won't have traditional door handles, but rather a touch-pad setup instead.

Backup camera=awesome.
What's the touch-pad setup like?

Yes... I'm very interested in how the doors work. It's nice to see Cadillac starting to get more gadgets.

MCGARRETT · 03-27-2008, 01:54 PM

No mystery, they are going to be like the ones on the Corvette and XLR.

It looks like the wheel and dashboard are alcantara/suede, or it could just be a rough prototype finish.

backup camera = concepts rear making it into production

XLR Door handles=Awesome
Backup Camera=Awesomer

Full hardtop would have been really really awsomest.

I dont understand, Mercedes-Benz can do it. Why not GM?

(I know cost issues, but I wonder how much more per unit it would increase the price of the CTS coupe, If it were an argument against a hardtop Cobalt I could understand, but the CTS coupe is going to be expensive anyway.)

GM does do it in the G6, maybe they are concerned with weight? Who knows.

No.

By hardtop I mean, all the windows go down, even the ones in the back seat.

The only G6 that is a "hardtop" is the convertible, the coupe still has fixed quarter glass, though it does have frameless door glass like the CTS coupe shows here, so there is the possiblity that there will be a convertible CTS.

The Camaro has frameless glass too, I believe.

FenwickHockey65 · 03-27-2008, 03:50 PM

I'm pretty sure they're working on it. Great works of art take time. We'll have a hardtop soon.

Cost and feasibility studies have killed the concept's glass-to-glass side windows, in favor of a visible B-pillar

same old song all over again, GM luxury = cost cutting luxury.
I can accept it on 25K Camaro, but not 50K Cadillac.

The B-Pillar stuff and fixed windows is due to safety regs. You'd never get those approved.
