Why spoil the good ting with a coupe'... that is what set the car apart the serious sports sedan market is pretty much dead and monopolized by big nameplates.

Is that the best you can come up with.. obviously the lax credit that we are all suffering from now allows you all to afford more than one car. Especially if you have a family go on ballers with your fake credit.
There is nothing with having 4 drs and high performance if you are so hot for a coupe' go buy a vette or a gto. |

"There is something the CTS-V coupe offers that the Corvette and GTO don't..." The answer is "luxury". Nothing wrong with diversifying, and offering a nice coupe. Unless you think the G37 Coupe shouldn't exist because there is already a G37 Sedan? |

Well the GTO doesn't offer much of anything at this point. I dont see this thing taking away from the Corvette, or the Camaro (as it will probably cost around 65 thousand dollars out the door.)
The question I want to know is, will this thing look better in person ? because even with all that camo on it (ive seen the CTS coupe concept) it's not looking too promising. The M3 is a lot better looking than this. The car needs to have a more aggressive stance than that (ala concept) it needs to be lowered another 3/4 of an inch and it needs slightly different wheels than the sedan IMO. |

Yeah, I said that in the first post, but he didn't get it.
I'm confident in the design, the sedan looks better in person, I think the coupe will too. I don't mind the high back end. Totally agree about the stance though. It does seem to be riding high, that could be the size of the wheels though. |

im drooling all over my keyboard. i have my fingers crossed that this will go in production... but then again why not just get the z28... for $15k less (estimated) if it goes in production with the same drivetrain (LSA + TR6060...etc)?...

That is totally not the case now. Even if they do share powertrain components (and obviously we will have to wait and see on that respect), the CTS is a full-on luxury car with nearly every bell and whistle that you can think of. The Z28 looks like it will also be a great car, but would never be confused for a luxury car. Aimed at totally different market segments - the fact that they might share an engine and/or tranny is besides the point. And lets be honest, that is the way it should be... make a great luxury coupe and a great sports coupe and not have them competing for the same customers. |

Hmm thats funny because the G35/skyline coupe was developed off the 350z and released simultaniously before the sedan was presented and drew people attracted to the Z that wanted a back seat (despite being small) since amentities were extremely similar. Try another example because it seems you are new at this. You know what guys it is unfair for me to say that... you are right the coupe' is a great idea i cant wait to see it.

I guess BMW are idiots for always making a 3-series coupe based on the sedan too? Quit being retarded, about every manufacturer in the world today builds cars on the same platform, but somehow when Cadillac does it (not for the first time mind you) it's a terrible idea?
