"Donny" happens to be my brother's friend.  I am rather impressed by his work, and I need to get some kind of hookup for a job.

In any case, the wheels look too small.

[Catman]

Looks cool.

[Hachee]

It's not that the wheels are too small, it's that there's too much bodywork between the top of the rear wheel and the window line, as a result of the wedgy profile.  IMO, this is the car's only major design flaw.  I like the standard CTS front end better too, rather than the one that was used on the concept car.

[2o6]

I love it.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Sexy!

Suffers from the same thing the E-class coupe does in my mind.  Just a huge, vast amount of sheet metal above the rear wheel that just makes it look bloated and ass heavy.

I had that same problem, until the CTS came along.  The rear is positively bloated, and the fastback rear window doesn't help either.

The E-coupe looks sleek and elegant.  The CTS looks like a angular last generation C-coupe...bleh.

[CJ]

Ugh.  It looks like an economy car.

At least the E class coupe has some creases to break up that vast expanse of metal... this thing doesn't and it looks even worse because of that.

I'm going to wait until I see it in person. GM has a habit of taking some rather unflattering press photos.

The front end is so busy with lines, angles, and shapes...and the rear consists of just bland, open, fat spans of sheetmetal.


It's ugly.

[S204STi]

Not horrible, but looks more like a stealth fighter than a car.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I don't like the "dodge neon highline" look.

The CTS's i see up at the cadi dealer have two(major IMO) design problems.

First the wheel gap is horrible, if i can stick my fist in between the top of the wheel and the wheel well than there is a big problem.

Second is the raised back end. Looking at the side profile the rear raises up and gives it that jacked up rear end monte carlo look.

Those two together are a horrible 1/2 punch. The front end is nice, different but doesn't make me dislike the car. The above 2 things make me dislike the car(styline wise). Looks like the coupe will be no different.

Parked behind a red box, it could almost pass for a new-fangled AMX, what with that abrupt rear and all.

[ChrisV]

Not horrible, but looks more like a stealth fighter than a car.

That's what I like about it. And I would love to see it in V form with aggressive wheels.

[cozmik]

Eh, something happened from concept to production. I'm not really feeling it from this photo. Maybe it's the color, but it just doesn't look right.

[r0tor]

the rear looks way too odd

[TBR]

Let it be noted that I never did car for the CTS coupes rear styling.

I couldn't agree more.
