You would if you needed more than 2 seats.

For me just about any 2 door car, the rear seats are useless. My seat is usually an inch from the back seat. So I don't even consider them. That is why I would go for the sedan if I wanted to fit 4 adults.

Sounds like a Genesis 3.8 and looks like an origami project

Should be a winner. Ever since the ZL1 was introduced, GM's performance cars have been incredible all-around performers. They've got some of the best chassis engineers in the business. Period.

Nothing amazing here. It comes down to whether or not you like American design (a lot more boxy, more straight lines) vs. European design (a lot more curves). If you like the previous Cadillac V cars, you'll likely appreciate this. Me, not so much. A ruler isn't the only instrument you can use to design...

Any word on sedan timing? Not a fan of the coupe, but the sedan would be tempting.

It's s good thing this will haul ass, because it certainly won't be picked for looks. Which is a shame, because the CTS V sport is a good design IMO. Was hoping for something closer to that. That car has just the right amount of aggressive detailing, this thing is just too much. That hood

I'm thinking the sedan will work much better.

The one problem with the Caddy design elements is that they don't really "butch" up well. Something about the angles and flat surfaces don't lend themselves well to alteration. They coupe especially looks like the wheels are too small - and I don't see how you could change it with changing the whole design.

The one exception is the CTS-V wagon. It would never be a car I would buy but there are 2 of them running around here that are lightly modified and they look/sound absolutely viscous!

I'll have to see it in person, but I wonder what BMW part number that is for the roof antenna fin.

Their styling is definitely lagging behind the drivetrains.
