That new CTS is 1970's macho ugly. Cadillacs used to have understated "class", now they are just trying to be the "big bad boys". The "yo, look at me... I got it" type of crowd. As far from the SAAB mentality as can be.
The yahoos in Detroit think that making a euro-sedan is just a matter of putting in a tachometer and "offering" a manual transmission. Not that any dealer would dare to stock a CTS with a manual trans. Try to find a Lincoln LS on the lot with a manual transmission. Impossible!
Cadillac is just floundering away, getting really hammered by the very well made and well styled Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes. Good thing for GM that lots of people are looking for gas-guzzling trucks. That's pretty much the only thing GM is selling in volume these days.
