Yep, I liked it. (No picture because I was afraid of freezing to death while my potato booted up.) From a distance it looks big, much bigger than it really is, because the front grille automatically makes you think CTS, which means you're thinking "big old Caddilac". Up close, it's handsome and well proportioned. The strange headlights, which stretch backwards along the top of the front fenders, look pretty nice in person. The interior looks comfy and well-appointed, although I dunno if a 6' tall person would be comfortable back there.

In any case, it's a heck of a lot nicer to look at than that damned 4-series coupe... Every time I see it, I like it less.

Also, anyone remember which movie/tv show the gif comes from? It's bugging me because I remember this kid from when I was younger, but have no idea from where... Much appreciated!

My father purchased one on Black Friday. It's the bright silver and has the burgundy seats with carbon accents. It's lovely.

EDIT: The amount of edits I've done to this post to sound like a human being is humiliating.

I hope he got a good deal! This one was black on black - classic and classy. Didn't notice any carbon accents, could have been because my eyeballs were frozen in their sockets...

They didn't budge as much as he wanted them to. He let me do the final negotiations, which was fun. The saleswoman thought I was nuts negotiating down to the last $50.

His last car was a 3.6 CTS so it wasn't much of a change. I wasn't as enthusiastic as I could have been, but I'm impressed with how much Cadillac has grown in quality.

And to think that's not real leather lol. I was shocked. It feels so real.

Out of curiosity, where are you located? They're everywhere here on Long Island.

My father's model is fully loaded. I thought only the base one had leatherette?

It's really hard to tell the difference when they're new. Do you still have the window sticker?

I'll check when I get home for winter break, but I think so.

Montreal. I haven't been downtown in a while, I'd probably see more there.
