The 2011 Car Year is here and it’s offering drivers pure driving excitement!  If you are looking for something new, consider the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe.  It is one awesome ride!

Possibly the most coveted feature about this auto is the exterior styling.  Compared to the more “old school” style of the Chicago DTS, the 2 door coupe is more sporty and fun. The 2011 CTS coupe has the same style that the concept car had when it was released a few years ago.  Cadillac made a good choice when deciding to do that, as sometimes the concept and the actual production model end up being quite different.  It has elegantly designed angles and an attractive front grille with the beautiful Caddy logo proudly displayed.  It’s definitely an eye catching car.

The 2011 CTS comes in a base V6 that is really nice to drive, with a 3.5 liter engine that gives off 304 Horsepower.  Not quite as powerful as the 2009 Chicago XLR that featured a 4.6 liter, V8.  However, if you opt for a higher performing V8, the CTS will also come in an option that has that.  The base V6 does very well on the open roads.   The automatic transmission that comes in six speeds shifts smoothly and without problems- certainly a plus for the driver!  The transmission also offers a sport and manual mode that is perfect for those times when you really want to rev the engine!

In addition to the driving ability of the CTS coupe, it offers other outstanding features.  Inside the cabin, 5 passengers can ride and the seats are made of comfortable leather and the shift knob is also covered in leather.  There is wood trim found inside that gives a nice accent.  Overall, the interior is styled a lot like other Cadillac models, such as the Chicago DTS.  The base comes standard with a nice sounding Bose Stereo system, but if you want to pump up the jam a bit while driving, you can opt for the Performance Collection which adds surround sound stereo with a 40 gigabyte hard drive and USB input, along with other exciting amenities!

Consider the 2011 CTS coupe if you are looking for something luxurious and sporty….I predict that you won’t be disappointed!

What are some of the safety features on this SRX and other Used Cadillac Chicago SRX’s? First of all, the vehicle has excellent brakes. Perfect in a situation where you might be transporting children to soccer practice and the car in front of you decides to break and turn without using turning indicators! Moreover, this Chicago SRX has improved all-wheel drive, helping it keep constant contact with the road. A feature that is very important during that rush-hour drive home in the snow!

The vehicle also boasts plenty of airbag positioning to keep driver and passengers safe in the event of an accident. Aside from the standard driver and front passenger airbags, there are also a front side airbags and side head curtain airbags. Also, if you visit your local Chicago Cadillac Dealer and purchase this great SUV, it will also come with a one year subscription of On Star, a great safety feature. The SRX also has a feature that allows for vehicle theft tracking and notification.

Here’s a great video from Left Lane News about the re-designed 2010 Cadillac SRX:

Definitely with its new design, I would pick the SRX above the Lexus RX and other competitor models. There is still nothing that really makes a driver feel as special as owning a Cadillac. And with some of the design nods to Cadillac’s roots in the 50s, this is a model sure to entice both the classic and contemporary car buyer. While I haven’t yet been to a Cadillac Chicago dealer to check out the new version, I intend for my Chicago SRX text drive to be much more fun than my past SRX experiences. I might even get a few looks from the ladies in the 2010 model.
