Brand new 2015 CTS. My mother got it as a rental car while her CTS is in the shop. It is mechanically identical to my mother's, with the 2.0 Turbo/auto combo. It was definitely entertaining.

How is the 2.0T power-wise?

Yep! I don't know, it looks nice, but I think the older one looks nicer. The new badge almost looks too wide on the car.

I thought the old one was starting to look a bit dated. I do agree it probably could shrink a little.

It is actually pretty darn good. It gets up and moves quite well. It has a damn nice powerband, too. There is power almost all the way through the rev-range. Its, honestly, pretty surprising. I've driven both the 2.0T and the N/A 3.6 versions of the CTS, and the 3.6 felt like it could barely move the car. The 2.0T moves the car with relative ease.

It was definitely looking dated, I'll give you that. But, as you said, it needs to be shrunk down a bit. I just don't think the badge looks correct with its size. It looks quite nice on the steering wheel, though.

I dont know if I want to say this, but it looks a little. Chinese.

Do you mean the face of the car or the car as a whole? Either way, yeah, a little bit.

Well that's good since they're buying up Caddy's in large numbers

The face, oh no, the car is really really great. I think it needs bigger wheels I think, and I don't love the new emblem.

I mean, the car is great, I just don't think the new emblem complimented it.

Couldn't agree with you more. By Cadillac standards, this car didn't have many options, thus resulting in the smaller wheels. The car looks better with larger wheels, for sure. And the emblem isn't really growing on me either. They made it way too huge. I think it would look decent if the badge wasn't as big.

I think exactly the same, still, the Escalade is the only new Cadillac id buy if im honest.

Meh. I don't like the new Escalade, personally. I like what they've done with the ATS and the CTS, but not the Escalade.

These wheels do not compliment the rest of the car at all...

No, they don't. I completely agree. By Cadillac standards, this car wasn't really well optioned. Hence the standard wheels.
