Cadillac displayed the production version of its CTS coupe at the L.A. Auto Show. The production CTS coupe, which will be available summer 2010, retains the concept’s aggressive, in your face styling. The coupe model is part of Cadillac’s plan to steal back the luxury market from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. That plan includes offering several different body styles of each car, like the Germans do. Cadillac already has a CTS wagon on sale, so the coupe will bring the CTS line onto an almost level playing field with the Germans (still missing a convertible).
The CTS coupe keeps Cadillac’s corporate cow catcher grill, and it might be the only car in Cadillac’s stable that the giant grill actually looks right on. That coupe also features an immense C-Pillar that will be sure to polarize buyers, but that’s to be expected. Every Cadillac sold today is a love it or hate it kind of model. There is a market of people who can afford a luxury car and don’t want the subtle looks of a German car. For those people, the CTS coupe should be a hit.
If you’re one of those people and are already checking when your CLS’ lease is up, be prepared to pay well over sticker price, which hasn’t been announced yet but should fall near the CTS Sedan’s $36,730 base price.
