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!
