Rendered Speculation: Cadillac CTS Coupe and Wagon
Rendered Speculation: Cadillac CTS Coupe and Wagon Reported almost one year ago by Automotive news (subs. req.) and gaining traction once again, Cadillac is expanding the CTS range with coupe and wagon variants set to debut in 2009 as 2010 models. Disappointing CTS and BLS sedan sales in Europe have given GM incentive to consider additional variants in an effort to emulate BMW's 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class ranges. Additionally, wagons are more appealing to Europeans and could help jump start the brand. Spy sources are whispering that a CTS wagon concept could debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this coming January and then making a European debut in Geneva. Public reaction in Geneva as well as demand of the Cadillac BLS wagon which is just beginning sales now will be critical in GM making a decision in giving the green light to production. Obviously, no prototypes have been spotted yet, however, these photos which have been digitally edited show how they might look like. http://www.worldcarfans.com/9071120....oupe-and-wagon

:thumbs up: on both these variants.
The new CTS is a great platform for both a coupe and wagon. I just truly hope that Cadillac sticks with it in Europe... they are selling horribly right now, but the worst thing they could do is just to give up - that's one of the reasons that they sell so poorly now there, few people know about them and those that do, have an image of the land-yachts that they used to build back in the day. |

The coupe looks a little odd thenof course it's a pchop. I'd like to see a convertible version. That might be interesting.

The top of the C pillar and how it then flows down the trunk lid. The execution is terrible. This design language doesn't work with coupes, IMO.

For Caddy to succeed in europe, they need a smaller than CTS car (not the badge engineered BLS).

OOOooookay. Anyhoo, I think a coupe and wagon CTS would be cool. I'd totally be down for a CTS-V wagon. Vostok 7 |

Do you not understand what "design language" means? The shape and lines of the front of the car that extend back across the cabin don't match a coupe, IMO. It needs the rear doors there to break up the long, straight lines of the car. It is the same reason I don't think that a Legacy coupe works. They both look awkward. ~~Quentin |

A CTS wagon.... Where do I sign???
This is a great idea that will never work because Caddy owners don't want anything to do with wagons, they just buy Escalades |

... hell, look at the profile of that CTS coupe - the way that back end is all angled up and all, they are 1/2 way to having a wagon already. |

That rear end looks like it took styling cues from Lamborghini, I'm liking the way GM is heading.

I think the styling will be halfway between the concept and the rendering shown.
By the way, doesn't the rendering look like an Accord coupe circa 2001? |
