Cadillac is onto something with this whole CTS thing.
It may not be the flagship of General Motors Co.'s luxury brand, but it's certainly the muse.
Now there's a two-door version of the CTS, which arrived this summer: the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe. It's the sweetest looking car ever to wear the crest and wreath, period.
There's just something about it that looks futuristic and crisp. With its high sides and gun-slit windows that pinch up to the sloping roof, the exterior looks like an alien spacecraft invading Earth. The steep windshield might cut anyone who ventures too close.
The front end is more than aggressive, it's down right mean. Every time I drove up behind another car at a stop light, I half expected the driver in front of me to get out and hand over his lunch money. Call it intimidation through design.
The creases and angles ripple around the body in a mathematical perfection creating a geometry equation in which the answer is "yes." The tall headlights, massive shiny grille and slab-sided rear quarter panels extend the car's good looks.
The pieces move like a cubism painting. The CTS coupe is asymmetrical motion — it's what Picasso would drive.
Every detail screams attitude — and not that girly squeamish attitude so many cars possess to make the driver feel good about himself. The CTS Coupe confidently says, "Shut up and drive."
And that's exactly what you want to do in this Cadillac: Drive its wheels off.
