..how dated the old CTS looks parked next to the new one? Like holy cow that thing looks old.

It's funny, because if you look a it alone, it really doesn't look too old.

Well it's kinda old.

Golden oldies.

It's a 6-year-old design, the 2014 makes it look more like a 10-year-old design.

Then compare it to the earliest one...

I wouldn't go that far it definitely looks 5-8 years old but that is pretty much how normal cars age.

I wish I could find a picture of all three generations next to each-other. The change from 2003 to 2014 would just be drastic.

Too bad the rear-end isn't as dramatic and beautiful as this front-end. The rear-end is still kinda bleh.

Rather meh than ugly and melty.

I dunno, I personally think it's the prettiest car GM makes right now.

In the same time Mercedes C Class

I think the new CTS looks funny in pictures, but in real life... man it is a looker!

Uh, you skipped a generation for the BMW.

It always looks old. Next to the same 5 series of the era this thing looks really old.

aside from the C7.

I still love the previous generation. The new ones are nice, too, but I haven't seen many in person as of yet.

Well, compared to the E60 that was out when this CTS was released, I'd personally call this much more attractive. Even today.

I actually think it's prettier than the C7.

I loved the previous generation. When the current one was originally released I actually didn't think it looked better than the older one. Then I saw it in person at the St. Louis Auto Show, and it took my breath away. Black V-Sport. Look amazing .

Sure, it's not a bad looking sedan, but unless it was a wagon, I think I would still get a bangle 5-series.

Alex B > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 06/20/2014 at 09:03

It is more graceful, the C7 is trying to look all mean and sharp, while the CTSnis bold and confident.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Alex B 06/20/2014 at 09:04

Based on quality, yes, the Bangle 5-series would be the one.

But based on looks and reliability, the CTS is the way to go.

The only case where the Bangle looks good IMO, is in M5 guise.

I'm one of the only people who like the bangle 5 series I guess...

So long as you dislike the Bangle 7, then liking the 5 can easily be forgiven.

The bangle 7 is nightmare fuel. The bangle 6 I actually can deal with.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Alex B 06/20/2014 at 09:17

I like the bangle 6 better than the current 6...

Alex B > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 06/20/2014 at 09:20

Yes. The new one isn't graceful... It has too many creases and sharp edges.

It debuted in 2001 as a 2002 model. It's 13 years old, and design work likely started in the 90s, it is old.

The second generation debuted in '08 though. The first generation was '02

That's exactly how I feel. The rear looks so lame but there wasn't much they could do since they adamantly follow this diamond design language.

Rico > gmporschenut also a fan of hondas 06/20/2014 at 10:26

That's a 2013 C Class

It is. It's just not a 2015 C-Class based on their new architecture.

Fucking model years, right? How do they work?

Comparing apples to apples, that's the 2015 W205 Luxury. This is the sport:

Nah it's a 2013, they changed the grill from the 2012-2013 from all silver to gloss black with chrome front as seen here:

The 2014 grill pays homage to the older C class grill like the one gmporschenut posted.

There were a couple comments below on how much the cts has aged and changed in 10 years. I was going for so has the competition.

Ah got it - I thought you were comparing generations.
