The aboriginal drive reviews of the 2011 Cadillac CTS Auto are in — and, for the a lot of part, reviewers like what they see.

“It’s difficult to call just how arresting the CTS Auto is in the flesh. Fresh, crisp, bold, sexy, smart, adeptness and even – to adduce Cadillac – audacious. We abhorrence to absorb business aliment of any sort, but in this situation, with this car, the descriptor ‘audacious’ rings actually true,” says Autoblog.

According to reviewers, that adventurousness starts with the CTS Coupe’s design. Jalopnik writes, “It’s the a lot of polarizing car appearance I’ve anytime seen. From that bold ass all the way forward, you either adulation it or you abhorrence it. Your eyes move from the back, accomplished the touchpad aperture handles and the ancillary vents, all the way to the ‘Art & Science’ signature acicular nose. The accomplished car (whether with the achievement affability bureaucracy with 18-inch auto and all-season tires or the summer annoy bureaucracy with 19-inch auto and summer tires) just screams ‘look at me.’”

Of course, for abounding drivers, accurate adorableness is on the inside. Left Lane Account says: “If you admired the autogenous of the CTS Sport Sedan, you will adulation the autogenous of the new CTS Coupe. Borrowing heavily from the sistership CTS Sports Sedan, the dashboard, and new centermost animate are identical to those begin in the four-door. Legible gauges calmly affectation pertinent info, and the hidden navi-screen ancestor up from its branch on the top of the centermost assemblage to accord admonition or to adumbrate aggregate but the audio advice in a active fashion.” Plus, “Seats were actual grippy with the ancillary bolsters that kept us in abode during the arced abundance anchorage in Napa, California.”

When it comes to commuter space, however, Jalopnik says “The CTS Auto is on par with its 2+2 antagonism — meaning, it’s a abundant car for a brace and their two amputee children.”

If the CTS auto is to attempt with offerings from BMW and Audi, it needs to authority its own on the road. Autoblog says it does: “On the road, aggregate that’s acceptable about the four-door CTS is amplified in the coupe. You’re lower to the road, the added rear-track and adhesive 19-inch summer tires accommodate adhesive endless of anchor and the appearance out over the awning is absolutely sporting.”

Still, “The direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 provides able if not acceptable advanced thrust, admitting introducing a new archetypal into such a hyper-competitive articulation and not getting the a lot of almighty in chic can be beheld as a bit of a head-scratcher. For instance, the Auto is added able than the E350 Auto and Audi A5, but is about thirty ponies down on the Infiniti G37 Coupe. … added ability would do the Auto wonders.”

So, head-turning design? Check. Well-appointed interior? Check. Class-leading performance? Well…for that you may acquire to delay for the CTS-V Coupe.
