Wow - that's quite a lot different than the current CTS. Looks great.

Bump for an amazing car. I'm surprised there hasn't more commotion over this car.

I like the design a lot. The aggressive stance and lines look great.

Really? I'm not, whenever an GM or Ford do something right it's either ignored or put down.

I think GM is putting more of an effort into making quality cars than Ford is at the moment. A year ago I would have thought otherwise. But with this new CTS and the Saturn Aura my mind has been changed.

Edit for spelling.

"The entire CTS range now features a strut-tower suspension and a performance brakes and steering package lifted from the previous CTS-V model. All-wheel drive models receive an active transfer case, as well as an optional limited slip differential. Buyers can pick from either a manual or automatic six-speed transmission, while 17inch alloys comes as standard."

Nice feature and option list. I'd test drive it if I was seriously shopping the segment.

Doesn't look good tho, might be the ugly color they used.

Already seen it.




For those that read Automotive News you already know, but inside reports are saying that the CTS will no longer be a car, by 2009 the CTS will be a family of cars with a sedan, coupe, and wagon, possibly a vert.

Pretty crappy car IMO. The previous gen had really ****** interior room despite the big exterior size, and the blocky design screams "hick caddy-lovin redneck". And I'll take that Infiniti/Acura/Lexus at the same price point, thank you very much.

Looks alright, I like the front but the part where the rear windshield goes into the trunk is a little too flat.
