Gaw dang that thing is hot. And fast.

The trap speed was not as fast as the sedan, though (trap speed of the sedan was 129 mph vs. coupe at 124 mph). Further, the sedan's launch caused OnStar activation, and the coupe didn't.

Hot indeed! I can't believe I'm saying that I'd saying this, but I'd like to have a Cadillac....but it's got to be a "V".

I was going to say the opposite. I have seen a few in person now and they look much better in person than in pictures.

I thought they were going to mess up when making this a coupe, but i think they did a great job with it. I'd take a coupe over a sedan, maybe because I like coupes more just in general anyway.

If you did, don't expect to see your car anytime soon or with anything it's supposed to have

Get this. My wife has been wanting me to get one for years.. not too long after they first came out. I love the new 2011 Mustang V8 (and the CTS-V, too), but she'd rather be seen in the CTS-V. I think she likes the fact that it is a sedan AND satisfies my basic lust of a serious machine.

Ok, I'm hating you more now Bob (he said as he considered crawling to Ohio for a ride in the belly of the beast).

Yeah it looks like a CUV....I don't get why they made it so awkwardly shaped. The Sedan is MUCH MUCH MUCH nicer.

That V is fast.. but it also looks like a boat. It's like Caddy hired on the latest gen design team for Acura.
