Default New CTS Models -Spy Pics

CTS spy pic's taken by me on E. I-94 just prior to the M14 exit, west of Ann Arbor 7/10/2009 at about 1:00 PM.
The central located exhaust on the two door was very Porsche Boxster-like which is a mid-engined car.

A CTS-V Coupe may be too little too late for Government Motors though.

Many once loyal customers have walked from the new joke company.

Sadly the engineering is tsill solid, but the leadership are just obama stooges now.

Of all the folks with GM's I know (and thats pretty much everyone ) they all vowed a used 2009 model is the last GM car they will buy - and going forward if they need a new car, it will be a Ford.

Lutz confirms Cadillac CTS-V coupe is coming, sport wagon... doubtful

by Damon Lavrinc on Jul 13th, 2009 at 7:00PM

Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept - Click above for a high-res image gallery

During a Web-chat held on General Motors' FastLane blog, GM's former product head and newly appointed Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, sat down with the unwashed throngs to take questions and a deliver a few tender morsels to the product obsessed.

Chief among them was Lutz' confirmation that a Cadillac CTS-V coupe is on the way. "As of now," Lutz told the assembled Netizens, "the V package is planned only for the sedan and coupe." As for more CTS-V models – specifically a Sport Wagon variant – Lutz said, "... should sufficient demand materialize, there is no reason why we couldn't do a V-Series wagon, and I would be standing in line for one, just ahead of you." That doesn't sound encouraging, but at least it's on the table.

Lutz also discussed the possibility of the Pontiac G8 being branded as the Caprice and said, "...we're studying the feasibility of bringing it in as a Caprice for both law enforcement and the public."

Lutz when on to address questions about GM's green image, alternative fuels and powertrains, some of his controversial statements from the past and his affection for Jeremy Clarkson. You can read it all here, and hope these chats become a regular occurrence from GM execs.

Sorry I didn't preempt this by more than just a couple days

The rear plate recessed area, exhaust tip and rims/wheels are all slightly different than in the picture I took.

And no CB whip antenna.

My friend John M. was the design chief of Cadillac RWD platform until December last year... production will be VERY close to the concept.
