AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

"To behold the back of the CTS Coupe is to feel a healthy dose of national pride. It is a confluence of sharp angles and corners, the work of a design studio at the top of its game," reports David Undercoffler of the Los Angeles Times. He test-drives the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe and covers everything—its design, performance and technology.

“Oh my. I need a moment,” writes Dan Neil, auto critic for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), in his post about the Cadillac CTS-V on Driver’s Seat, WSJ’s auto blog. His goal was simple: get to the bottom of the debate between the CTS-V Coupe and its European competition—the BMW M3 and the Audi RS 5. He spent a week behind the wheel of the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, examining its styling and overall driving experience. Neil’s conclusion: “It makes the German cars look like taxis. End of debate.”

For the third year in a row, Car and Driver names the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan as one of its 10Best.

The 2011 CTS Sport Sedan is selected as a “Top Safety Pick 2011” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This luxury sedan is recognized for its “good performance in front, side, rollover, and rear tests and standard electronic stability control.”
