CTS coupe: Yay or Nay?
Since day one I've had a hard time getting on board with this cars design; it looks to "hatchy" to me. Everywhere I look though, people are in love with it. I think somethings seriously wrong with me... but I hope GM designers have done something to break-up the "hatchness" in this cars profile and rear 3/4 view. A Cadillac coupe should look like a coupe, not a hatchback.
concept:    production:

the coupe is nice, but imo the 4-door is nicer.

I like it, but it kind of reminds me of a Celica.

I agree, it does have a hatch look to it, but I still think it's a nice ride.
I say yay. And the koolaid tastes great! |

What's wrong with a hatch? Best body style, in my opinion. I'll never understand America's hatred of the hatch.

 I think it's good looking, definitely. Like I said though, they could have done more, but I think possibly with time and seeing the car in person my opinion may change. We'll see.

The face is absolutely gorgeous
 .The rear end is WAY too high and fat. Scotsman is right, it looks like a freakin hatchback.
