I always loved the last one for being sharp suited and different.

This one seems to be trying really hard to be a mock-Phantom. Do not like.

The new CTS looks amazing! It is also 200 LBS lighter than the current gen. While the V has not been anounced yet, they have introduced the VSport think of this like the M Sport from BMW. This is a twin turbo 420hp car that accelerates to 60 in 4.6 seconds and is designed to bridge the gap between the less powerful versions and the V.

Personally I think it looks fantastic, much better than the previous model.

Personally, I hate the look of the CTS, it's st

However the CTS-V did appeal when I saw it on American Chopper Senior vs Junior!

I love it! They've also made it a bit bigger which is important as its supposed to be a 5 series/xf/e class/a6/Lexus GS/Infiniti M/ etc competitor but is a bit smaller than them.

looks OK to me, bit of a cross between a last gen E-Class and a Volvo

I like it. The old CTS looked pretty average in anything other than CTS-V flavour. This looks much better, if a touch much like a Lexus.

You know what I meant - as opposed to FWD only...

I know, the "-4" is there for a reason smile (addition of the FWD to an otherwise RWD car)
