Cadillac is venturing in the sports coupe segment with the unveiling of its beautiful 2011 Cadillac CTS. The number one thing that stands out about this car is its angular shape and extremely unique look; this car is the epitome of "American Luxury." The shape of its back end is aggressive and square. Driving this car is a pure thrill; shifts are quick and the brakes are powerful and precise. The ride leans more towards sporty than cushy and comparable with that of European luxury vehicles. The CTS will compete in the sports coupe segment, a market which is dominated by European players such as Mercedes Benz and BMW.
This car is loaded with a V6 3.6 Engine with 304 HP and 273 lb feet of torque. This should be more than sufficient power for the average driver. If you want even more power, then you might want to hold off for GM's release of the CTS V-series which will be equipped with a massive 556 horsepower. Gas mileage for the CTS is at 17 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the freeway.
You have the option of selecting from three different models; Base, CTS Performance Collection and CTS Coupe Premium Collection. This coupe comes standard with six speed automatic transmission, sweet looking eighteen inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, a cruise control system, premium Bose Audio system with a 6-disc CD changer, parking assist and adjustable power seats. The CTS Performance collection trim includes an upgraded Audio system, Xenon lamps and seats appointed in fine leather. The Premium Collection trim includes a navigation system, wooden trim touches, a moon roof and a heated steering wheel.
The cabin was thoughtfully designed and includes a cool navigation screen in place which conveniently slides down and out of sight when not in use. The front seats are quite plush while offering more than plenty of legroom, and there are touches of chrome accents for a contemporary look. Cadillac engineers designed the CTS with safety in mind, and there are loads of safety measures in place such as; On Star Crisis Assist, an airbag system, 4-wheel ABS, 4-wheel disc brakes, a car theft deterrent system, daytime running lamps, an electronic stability control program, traction control and
This is by far one of the most striking cars available on the market today and a must-buy for someone who is looking for an American luxury sports coupe. The most appealing aspect of the CTS is its aggressive good looks and angular bold lines; this is a car that cannot be missed on the road due to its unique look. There is no other sports coupe on the market that looks quite like it.
