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.

Yep, totally agree, never looked good when BMW did it, looks even worse on a chunkier car.
 
Nowhere near the level of sophistication of the Germans, but it has a brutal old school charm about it.

Low cool.
 
I love the sedan and wagon, I think they look mean and deserve a strong cool - the simple fact of it being a Cadillac keeps it out of SZ for me. The hideous coupe drags that down, but only slightly. You can't really argue against the proven performance. Cool.
 
Very high cool for me, mostly influenced by Caddy's decision to actually offer up the Vagon in a 6-speed manual. Had a chance to purchase the sedan in a 6-speed maybe around a year ago, the only car to date I regret not pulling the trigger on. Didn't help that a couple months ago, I met the owner of the car who is a friend of a friend, and she confirmed all the rumors that surrounded it at work about being babied and never driven hard.

I'm kind of surprised at the lack of love for the wagon considering the coupe was kind of the red-headed stepchild of the trio.

The design of this car is more unique than most and I like that. It has a proper engine with decent performance and it lives up to the badge it carries. Cool
 
Don't like the coupe, but love the execution of both the sedan and the wagon. Manages to combine Euro-style looks and comfort to tried-and-tested American performance in a really good way. Solid cool.
 
Cool, if only for the saloon and (to a lesser extent) the estate. The first gen CTS-V did a nicer job of distanced itself enough from typical Caddy saloons without looking quite so gaudy, but these had enough of the right kind of presence that I don't really find them off-putting.

The coupe has the best rear of the bunch but with the beltline so frigging high, it has more or less the same amount of poise as a breeze block.
 
At last, a cool Caddy. The saloon and the wagon are the coolest. The coupé had potencial with that rear end, but damn it's beltline is so high that could've been a shooting break instead of a coupé.
 
I actually think the wagon model is quite cool. It's rare enough that someday, it might be a desirable collector car.
 
Seriously Uncool. Edgy try-hard that weighs almost as much as average SUV.
