New CTS Signals New Phase of Caddy's Revival

Two words (& phrases) stick out for me in this article.

"mimics" European luxury models
"perception" of more space

Then why not get the real thing? Unless of course the
"inspiration" from Coach luxury handbags and the style of Prada shoes matchs with this seasons Ipod case and fits two venti, skim, no whip, lattes.


The new CTS is dramatically refined from the current model in appearance, styling, and performance.

IMO, the new chrome grille which is also there on the new escalade, accounts for 50% of the beauty of the new caddys.

To me the caddy's new chrome grille is one of the most beautifull designed grilles out there.Second to only Alfa's.

This car is gorgeous. I got to get inside of one at NAIAS and the interior is amazing (I may even go so far to say I liked it better than the Lexus IS and Infiniti G). The exterior is sexy and mechanically the powertrain selection is great. Way to get it right GM!

I disagree, I went to NAIAS yesterday and saw the CTS in person. I found that a lot of the photos online don't do the CTS justice. The car looks fantastic when you see it up close and in-person.

I really like the new design of this CTS, can't wait for the CTS-V version. I think the CTS right now is one of the best American car out there. "Too bad they had to much realiability problems".

Cadillacs are more reliable than Lexus. Lot of room to talk for someone like Lexus with 57,000 recalls on there Lexus's.

Did you not read the King of Recall for 2006 article that was posted here in couple days ago. What about two weeks ago when some dude posted a video of the Cadillac CTS-V he had less than 10K miles I belief where it broke down on the Freeway? ...hmmmm....

paul3230, Lexus is just mad because a Caddy CTS beat his/her Lexus in a race and he lost money!

"The exterior is bold with dramatic lines and a large front grille". BMW's Chris Bangle used similarly flowery language to describe BMW's "Flame Surface styling language."

Poetic lingo aside, the common observer often sees the car for what it is. In Caddy's case, the word "origami" comes to mind -- The Japanese art of creating little sculptures from a folded piece of paper. In the Caddy and in origami we see large, flat surfaces with sharp creases. The "stealth fighter" look does not translate well to automobiles.

Ducati tried the same thing with their 999 motorcycle, defending their styling decisions vigorously from an onslaught of "but it's ugly as sin" from the press and the public. In the end, and after only a few short years, Ducati has returned to their former styling glory with more traditional, and much more eye-pleasing lines with the 1098. The world is hailing Ducati for making beautiful bikes again. Precious few are calling Cadillac or BMW "beautiful."

Thought for the day: Poets are those who muddy their waters to make them appear deep.

very nice, the interior looks much better than the new c-class, in fact this car exterior may looks better than c-class.
