I'm still disappointed Caddy toned down the sharp lines of the old CTS for the new ATS/CTS. I find it funny you guys complain it has too many straight lines. The design is way softer than the old "Art & Science" theme.

ugh that one was horrid
the current one is much better

^ You are entitled to your wrong opinion.

The previous gen CTS -- especially the coupe and wagon -- are future classics. The current evolution looks nice enough, but lacks anything distinctive. The sales numbers bear that out despite being the better car.

I really like the sharp lines and big butt of my coupe, like the new lights/nose better though.

Agree.

Last-gen CTS-V and CTS-V Wagon was excellent. I would also argue the same for the 3-series and 5-series. The current gens for all three are fine, but less than the previous IMHO.

now that the M4 pic loads jesus that front end is horrid

thats almost as bad as the smiling Mazda

I kind of do think the M3 has gotten less attractive over the last two generations, but it's still a whale of a car. Just not as pretty as my E46!

GM focused so much on performance that I think they missed the boat in some areas. Interior volume and trunk space are worse than what I would expect for the size of car. CUE is a huge mess and really hasn't been improved since the ATS launched. The availability of a manual is also only a certain ATS models and completely missing on the CTS. Something about these cars just disappoint me.
