A unique look
The CTS Coupe's styling has been called awkward and strange by some--though the looks are better in person than in photos, and should help the latest CTS put up a great argument for the dollars of premium coupe shoppers.
Ditto the fact that all CTS variants, including the Coupe, Sedan and Sport Wagon, have earned praise from automotive media and industry authorities alike. This is a model lineup more into winning than Charlie Sheen.
As a side note, ladies love the look of the CTS Coupe--and many asked your correspondent about its pricing, origins, and when it went on sale. No phone numbers, sadly.
The cabin--CTS Coupe's strongest asset?
So--how is it? Pretty darn good. Being a low-slung two-door means the CTS Coupe is a touch demanding to get in and out of, but for their efforts, drivers are rewarded with a great looking interior. Four seats, plenty of stitched leather and wood accenting, and all the high-tech toys were on board. There's some character and atmosphere present within the CTS Coupe's cabin, and drivers should find it equally engaging and relaxing. The cabin might be this car's strongest asset.
A keyless engine start system was included, as was a giant sunroof with sunshade, navigation with a pop-up touch screen, a hard-drive equipped audio system and heated and chilled seats. Extra points for the mighty, earth-shaking Bose stereo.
Back seats are typical of the coupe scene--useless to non-contortionist adults, but ideal as extra storage space, or for toddlers.
Gripes? Headroom and knee-room are at a premium for taller drivers, and at-hand storage facilities are dismal. Rearward visibility is negligible, though there is a backup camera. Lane-change visibility is only slightly better.
