It's ok looking. I'd like it better if it wasn't so boxy! Nice though!

That pod thing with the radio and climate controls just looks CHEAP.

Excellent sport sedan entry by Cadillac....but the real question is not power. Does it have the steering precision, handling and ride compliance of a bmw or audi? Thats what buyers expect and demand in this highly competitive category.

Cadillac, so far, has very little credibility in the sport sedan market. Perhaps this model will show that Cadillac is serious about pursuing performance oriented models and give the europeans companies a bit to think about.

I agree, other than that I like this car. I do like the external design how it's all concepty looking, like the CTS. Oh, NFS4, do you know when we will see our first pics of the STS out of undercover?

From some earlier reviews that I read, the Caddy can post better laptimes than an M5 on a rather difficult track.

Yup, the only thing that I think they need to get down is the interior. While not bad by any means, it needs to get up there w/ BMW and Audi.

Wow, that pic of the interior/console at the bottom makes me wanna... (needs puke emoticon).
And this is coming from a Nissan fanboy, the worst offender of interiors among the japanese imports.

isn't that the gm trademark for "affordable" high perf cars?

It still baffles me to this day why Chevy can't make a good interior for a car like the 'Vette when there isn't even much interior to make

Still, I'd love to own one a CTSv

The one thing about Cadillacs that I never liked was their plush interior... They tend to fall apart after 8 years of use. Maybe the newer ones are constructed a little better?
