2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, about to enter a blind turn on a narrow two lane road. Figuring 60 mph might be just a little hot for this corner, we hit the brakes, making the smart six speed automatic transmission decide a gear change down to second was in order.
As the tach needle swung around to brush the 7,000 rpm redline, the engine sounded off with a strained growl, sounding as if someone were putting a beehive through a bandsaw, not one of the best engine notes we’ve heard. The wheel felt lifeless as we turned into the corner, its power mechanism tuned more for comfort than track days.

Cadillac SRX Turbo Premium
Cadillac’s SRX is one of the few crossovers out there with some styling flair, and it mixes in a healthy dose of luxury ride and interior comfort.
This model was the top-level Turbo Premium, which starts at $51,360. After adding a pricey rear entertainment system, it hit $53,480.
Railroad tracks and highway pavement seams are no more a bother than a cooked pea beneath your shoe.
Handling is good with fairly precise feedback to the wheel coupled with a heavy steering feel. Push the Cadillac SRX and it sticks well in a corner with no, or only minor, body roll.
Power is decent. Under normal acceleration, the 2.8-liter V6 provides ample power, but this model tacks on a turbocharger to boost your horsepower to 300 and torque to 295 ft.-lbs.

While most Cadillac vehicles still have a way to go to satisfy as drivers’ machines, the second-generation CTS has appeared on our last three 10Best lists; in awarding its 2010 trophy, we called it “maybe the best American car ever made.” For 2011, the new Cadillac CTS coupe joins the sedan and wagon, adding more style and a higher concentration of performance to the CTS’s winning formula.
StunningExterior Styling, Largely Familiar Cockpit
The Cadillac CTS coupe is one of those cars that loves the camera, and it’s no less stunning in the flesh. Walking around the car, one notices several aspects of the design easily missed in photographs, such as the parallel “light-catcher” lines helping to break up the tall body sides, the tastefully glitzy twin center-mounted tailpipes, the remarkably seamless-looking joint between the body-side stamping and the roof, and the center spine that travels all the way back over the car’s huge rump.
Inside, most CTS sedan components are imported without change, although the mood is intensified due to a lower mounting point for the seats, dropping occupants roughly an inch lower into the dash/console architecture.
