First Look: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept

Cadillac
exterior design director John Manoogian II can't contain himself. He
talks about the production CTS coupe and how it will hardly vary from
the "CTS coupe concept," the unmitigated hit of the North American
International Auto Show (Detroit), without adding the requisite, "If we
were to build it." And so what's a poor Cadillac P.R. guy to do, but to
say it hasn't been made official?

If you read Motor Trend, you
know Cadillac has been kicking around the idea of a new coupe since
before the doddering Eldorado was sent to that great Cadillac Ranch in
the sky. And you know that this latest "coupe d'etat," designed much
more recently than those earlier ideas, is set for a 2010 model year
introduction probably some 18 months from now, alongside a Euro-centric
CTS wagon-er, estate/shooting break. (One insider says, if you like the
coupe, "Wait'll you see the wagon." Wait until when? That CTS wagon
won't make its debut at Geneva and, in fact, hasn't been scheduled for
any auto show so far this season.)
