Pretty solid cool on this one, especially the wagon

 

[Jahgee]

The wagon drops it from SZ to just cool

 

[Tornado]

Coupe is enough to drag it to uncool.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Cool. I actually prefer this one to the current gen, especially the tail lights.

 

[LM7325]

I like the first generation more. But I will still give it a cool.

 

[FerrariF1GT]

Modern Cadillac. Ugh.

Not an Escalade, though.

 

[MatskiMonk]

But it's soooooo heavy, and of course the name makes no sense....</comic sans>


But, seriously, I voted it SU on account of that being the WORST case of turning a sedan into a wagon I think I've ever seen... and the way the Coupes massive ass makes the wheels look tiny is awful. Saloon looks okay (for an American Sedan). I do quite like the 2016 model though.

 

[LivingWithGames]

It..somehow got better looking? What?

Cadillac, dunno what you guys smoked or tried but daaamn, you somehow made it look somewhat more decent. Low cool, barely. The Wagon would of been a Meh.

 

[JC_Dude]

Looks ridiculous. The wagon version takes it from SU to just Uncool.

 

[super cirrus]

Not big on the coupe, but the sedan and wagon are solid.

 

[Casey]

I like the wagon version...

Sub Zero.

 

[MisterWaffles]

"The all-new Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, delivering dead bodies to their resting place at 190 miles an hour".

The wagon keeps reminding me of the hearse. But the other ones get a meh from me, I prefer the ATS-V more.

 

[huskeR32]

Cool. Almost SZ on the strength of the wagon. Ugly coupe drags it down a bit though.

 

[Sage Ages]

Too Jalopniky. Uncool.

 

[Northstar]

It's easily the best thing Cadillac has made in quite some time and instilled a glimmer of hope for the brand. However it's going to take some time to repair the image that GM spent 30 years destroying.

Uncool.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Cool, to me the Wagon was SZ, and the Coupe was uncool and borderline SU.

 

[Sp3edst3r]

I really like it, stats are nice and the front is really cool. Unfortunately it's just the rear that doesn't seem to be satisfying..
Cool

 

[Obelisk]

Blocky. Nice wagon...low cool.

 

[Cowboy]

What is it with Cadillac and their sharp lines? If I had a choice between these models, I'd go for the 4-door sedan.

High uncool.

 

[Cano]

Very solid cool.

 

[Mike458]

Uncool. Proportions somehow don't look right and it just doesn't have that unique "if-factor" to make it a cool car. It's saved from an SU by the race car...

The wagon version is the greatest case of American overkill since the invention of .50 BMG hamster hunting. The Sedan is kinda lame, so I'll average them out to cool.

 

[Dennisch]

A wolf in really ugly sheep's clothes.

 

[TheCracker]

Cadillac. Uncool. Sporting Cadillac. Seriously uncool.

 

[TS050]

The sedan and wagon are Cool, but the coupe is ugly enough for me to bring that down to a Meh.

Could you imagine .50 cal hamster hunting, what would you collect, mist?

Sorry for off topic seemed like a hilarious analogy for a grocery getter on steroids wagon.

You'd collect air. a .50 BMG can blow limbs off of people, so using it on a mouse or hamster is just overkill.

I know which is why it's a funny way and fitting way to describe it, too bad they didn't make a wagon for the third gen CTS-V because that'd be even more so.

 

[TheCracker]

and the way the Coupes massive ass makes the wheels look tiny is awful.

The coupe reminds me of the 3-series compact. Not like a design in it's own rite, more like taking the saloon/sedan, chopping the back end off and butchering together a sloped rear window. CLC and 3-Series Compact aside (maybe the 1st gen of 1-Series too) but the German big 3 do the coupe (and wagon) conversions so much better.
